Whew! Halfway there! This is where the games really start to pull at our heartstrings.

#25: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (DS)
Release Date: April 28, 2007

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl was the first game on Nintendo's dual-screen handheld, and with it's release the game brought some great additions to the series. A sleeker, faster interface, improved graphics and music, a split in physical/special attacks (no longer defined by the element. Dark Pokemon rejoice!), online trading and battling, and most importantly... more new Pokemon! This was also the game where I finally got into competitive Pokemon battling... and learned how surprisingly deep and strategic the Pokemon system truly was. I spent hundreds of hours (278 hours to be exact) creating a team which was competitvely sound as well as personally appealing. Having a team of six super-strong Pokemon that you've trained to perfection is truly a great feeling, and it was great to see them be successful on the battlefield. So many great times with this game... gotta catch 'em all!

Favorite New Pokemon: Weavile/Leafeon
Most Broken Move: Stealth Rock (You make Charizard and Articuno cry)

25. Anno 1404 - Dawn of Discovery (PC)

I'm surely not a fan of Strategy games, but this game is simply awesome! I never play the campaign though, continuous mode always keeps me busy for countless of hours. Currently I'm enjoying Anno 2070, and I'm sure it'll be on my list next year too :)

28. New Super Mario Bros Wii - Wii (23 last year):

It still surprises me that Nintendo took this long to release another home console 2d Mario platformer; I doubt they will repeat that mistake given the phenominal sales of this game.  This game is a blast in single as well as multiplayer, I also really like the increased difficulty towards the end of the game, something the DS game was missing

 

27. Final Fantasy VII - PSX (25 last year):

While I think this game is overrated, it is still fantastic and one of the better FF games.  This was the first FF game to be released in Europe and also to break into the mainstream gaming mind in the West; therefore it is many people's first FF game and also RPG.  I love this game's music, particularly One Winged Angel, the Main/Map music and Aerith's theme.

Pressing return on it's own creates a new paragraph (with a space between lines) to just create a new line hold shift while pressing return.

@SinZinDetta: In the quick reply box hitting Enter will skip to the next line. In the rich text reply box, hitting Enter will change paragraph so you'll get a space between your lines so in that situation what you need to do to get a new line is Shift + Enter.
