#41: Paper Mario (Nintendo 64)
Release Date: February 5, 2001

Paper Mario was one of the Nintendo 64's final Nintendo games, and also one of its best. The game really came out of nowhere, and the idea seemed almost too odd to be true. Mario finds himself in an RPG adventure. Sure I'll go with it, as it's happened before (although Square helmed the game), but this Paper-cutout art style? Talk about out of left field. But the wonderful thing is that it all worked out spectacularly, and this became one of the few RPGs that I've really loved. Intelligent Systems created a wonderful world to explore, an always engaging and fun battle system, lovable partners to fight with, and fantastic (and hilarious) dialogue that can put a smile on anyone's face. When you get the basics right, everything else fits into place, and the crazy paper world of Paper Mario was a true delight to explore.

#41) Spyro The Dragon (PS/PSP/PS3)

Ripto's Rage was way too easy, Year of the Dragon had those awful kangaroo, yeti and space monkey stages, (The penguin stages were actually okay) and everything after that is just irredeemable. The original is where it's at. It's a shame that the price Insomniac had to pay for no annoying sidekicks and a difficulty curve that's actually a curve instead of a flat line turned out to be decent boss fights.

And if you're typing a response concerning the awful kangaroo, yeti and space monkey stages instead of the game I picked, just press that shiny F4 button while holding down Ctrl.



41. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (PS3,PC)

For me personally CoD4 was a game that redefined online gaming in FPS games. I spent countless hours in its' multiplayer on PC, and bought the PS3 version later (although I hardly played the mp on it because I was busy with MW2 at that time). However, the mp was simply amazing and the singleplayer experiece was very good as well. Definitely one of my favourite FPS games.

42 - Burnout Paradise

There's a lot of racing games I don't like, so it's something that I like this one. Endless driving around.

41 - Tomb Raider Anniversary

I played Tomb Raider 2 as a kid, but never got past the first tiger that I was afraid off. This is a good action-adventure with a focus on gameplay.

Much anger i sense in you...

Spyro is perhaps the one game that is not on a Nintendo platform that i have spent the most time on.

#41. Rock Band (PS3)

I totally bought into the rhythm game "fad". I bought two guitars, Guitar Hero I, II, III, even Guitar Hero 80s (which totally sucked!) and my last purchase in that genre was Rock Band. Not because I stop playing these games (I do play less) but because after buying that game I didn't need all the others. Most of the time I play this game with my boyfriend who likes to sing and play drums while I like to play base and guitar. The reason Rock Band is my go to rhythm game is because of the DLC. I now have more DLC songs than "on disc" songs which means the tracklist really kicks ass and the game really feels like having my personal band.



Signature goes here!

43. The Legend of Zelda (NES).  Being the game that started the series, shuould this be highter on the list? No, but still a great game.


42. Devil Survivor (DS). The first MegaTen that I played and it was really fun, some characters designs are bad and the stategy gamplay is completly unnecesary but the music, the devils and more importantly the story make this game a great experience.


41. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (PSP). Could have been a lot higher on the list if it wasn't for the pace, it was basically fight from point A to point B, but the gameplay is incredibly fun and the characters are great too (except Ventus), Aqua is awesome and of course Scrooge McDuck  and Merlin. ENOUGH!!



Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?

You should pick up Rock Band 3, it's only 20 bucks, and exporting Rock Band 1 songs to it is a mere 5 dollars!
