I forget the bad part of Carnival Night, though i mostly focused my play on using Knuckles in the Lock-on mode

You just have to Google "Carnival Night Zone".

How was I supposed to know you just pressed Up and Down instead of jumping? I was just a kid! D:

But funnily enough you didn't encounter this part while playing as Knuckles, so I could beat the game with him. ^_^

I still think i was able to get through that part without too much trouble, though i can't be sure. I had a friend who was helping me after i bought Sonic Mega Collection.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Well, time to start my list.

#50. Spyro the Dragon (PS1)

As the first Sony game I've ever played, Spyro was the perfect introduction to the PlayStation brand for someone who, at the time, would normally stick to Mario. A great 3D platformer with good controls, a workable camera, and all kinds of creativity and humor. I've played the sequels and the surprisingly fun GBA entries, but nothing compared to my first experience as a purple fire-breathing dragon.

This is the first of four Sony-published games on my list, but there are a few more games that are exclusive to Sony platforms, or multiplatform titles which I preferred on a Sony platform.

My #49 is the only Microsoft-published game on my list, and originally included a demo for a far more popular game. Such a guilty, mindless pleasure.

My 36th game was a recent sequel to a game from a previous console generation, the first one was considered mediocre while this one was considered amazing.

Not sure how recent...

Killzone 2 seems like an easy guess to me.

Indeed.

It still pains me how Microsoft managed to screw up that franchise. The formula behind Crackdown was pretty darn fun. :/ All the series needed was a bit more polish and creativity, if not more time and money. It could've been a great new franchise for MS this gen, and they could use another one of those.

#37 - Super Mario 3D Land was a big surprise, in a positive way. It takes a lot of the good stuff from the big 3D console games and puts it a nice handheld format. Perfect for short bursts of intense and fun gameplay. The story is of course nothing special, we all know by now how it goes and how it ends. The game does however give players plenty of challenge to complete this adventure. The stages can be pretty tough at times, but with a little strategy and by excelling in some levels, one can skip others if necessary. Though I completed all the game's levels, I found myself re-playing level 1-1 many times just because of the easy ways to obtain the awesome Tanooki-suit, so I could have an advantage in some other difficult level. The game really does it's name justice, the 3D effect is tremendous. It really shows how this could be used to really enrich the gameplay experience. A great entry in the 3D Mario series and it's no less that it's console brothers; I hope it gets a sequel on the 3DS!

#36 - ?
The first game for a character that had every suggestion of being a mascot for the system (or for the other systems it went to afterwards), or at least part of the 'mascot-family', but wasn't really.



37. 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (2009)

Another newcomer to the list is this wonderful visual novel meets room escape game.  This game uses the Nintendo DS and its medium in some of the most creative ways I've ever encountered, and surprisingly, for a story-telling purpose.  Never before have I turned my handheld upside down because it made sense in the context of the story.  I also loved that the story also breaks through the fourth wall to the player and gives reason for multiple playthroughs.  The puzzles themselves provide a variety of interesting challenges and information.  The mystery keeps you intrigued throughout the game and I was only annoyed that because I played through the route for the true ending the first playthrough I had to do the same set of doors twice.



Primarily an RPG player but have interest in any game that will make me think. 

37. The Witcher (PC)

At a time when everyone was "dumbing-down" RPGs to appeal to the masses, along came relatively unknown CDProjekt with The Witcher that showed there was still a market for core/traditional RPGs. The sequel has made it onto my list this year (a bit higher up) but the original is still one of the best examples of modern Western RPGs around (ignoring the weird sex card collections).
