Games I want to play but haven't due to time constraints and modern releases. It's really bad when I actually own most of the games on my list of shame. Also has Baldurs Gate 1 & 2 (hopefully not for long once I get the Enhanced Edition), Planescape Torment and Zelda: OoT. I own all of them and have started them all at least once but never find the time to play them for long enough.

PT is probably the one I've played the most of but I keep either losing my saves or starting again because it's been so long I've forgotten what I was doing.

29th - The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask

Majoras Mask is one of the best games that the N64 has to offer. The game offered a lot of fun side quests and a very good plot. Unlike some other Zelda games, this game did not see many flaws from me. I can not blame the time mechanic as it was a part of the. However one of my gripes with this game is that some sidequests are an annoyance, like for example just missing them.

Before it is to late, I see this game superior than Ocarina of Time. I thought that Majoras Mask improved on a lot of things and introduced some neat things, like the masks. Playing as the other races must have been my favorite part and I hope that Nintendo will bring it back sometime.

Ha! We have the same number 29, I posted it 23 hours ago .





Are my clues getting too difficult? No one took a shot at #28 (and the two before it), but here it is :

#28 - Asterix is also a game not many would expect on a top games list. It has been however, great fun to play. It is one of my most played Playstation games, save for two PS1 games that are still to come. The game is in fact, a strategic game. In the vain of the RISK boardgame or the much newer Total War franchise by SEGA, the player is in command of a host of provinces which he must defend and train armies on to conquer other provinces. It is however a highly simplified form of this concept, and no form of economy, the upgrading of provinces or building and training within provinces is present in this game whatsoever. The player is granted a few new units each turn, which must be strategically placed amongst the owned areas of the board, which represents Asterix's homeland; France. Besides the strategic elements, the game contains a few mini-games which are quite fun to play, varying from small platformed like levels or beat 'em up like levels. These levels are played as an Asterix character and are accessed by conquering specific provinces on the board.

#27 - ?
A clone of a famous and extremely basic game made by Nintendo for the Gameboy platform.

Damn I need to remember to do this every day, but I can always blame finals. Not much has changed except for 1 addition so that will be the only one that gets an entry.

34. NBA Jam Tournament Edition (arcade)
33. Rune Factory Frontier (Wii)
32. Super Mario 3D Land (3DS)
I didn't understand this game at all until I beat it. Then I realized how awesome this game is in how it melds both 3d and classic 2d Mario games in a way that could only be realized with the 3DS. It is truly a game worth buying a 3Ds for and it was a amazing game. It makes me mad every time I think about t because I always think of the guy that stole my 3DS when I think about this game.

31. Super Mario World (SNES)
30. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (arcade)
29. Kingdom Hearts (PS2)
28. Pokemon Gold (GBC)

hint for #27: Sunday at 8:00 on FOX!

28. .hack//Infection (2002)

Down slightly from 24th, this is one of those cases where an anime blended into a game actually works because the anime was about a video game.  The computer terminal you access the game within a game from also provides forums and emails from other players, creating a wonderful and novel sense of atmosphere for the game.  The at times cryptic story and the ways in which you obtain more information as you travel keep you on edge throughout the course of the game.  The game does a wonderful job of giving you the MMO feel without the cost or the annoying part of their userbase.  As always with .hack, the music is wonderful as well.  The gameplay is your standard action RPG fare and there are plenty of quirky features spread throughout the game to add to the fun.  The bosses also make the drain mechanic more interesting which lends some depth to the combat.



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

been a touch slack here and not updated list in a week or so but! will try to keep back up to date from now on.

-38 - Angry Birds Trilogy (3DS)

This game is one of my worst guilty pleasures ever since first picking it up on the psp and blasting a few pig castles outta the way in it, the 3DS trilogy game just has me absolutely stuck in its casual gaming net every time I find myself waiting for friends at the town cafe or in the bathroom. Damn shame angry birds in space didn't make it onto this chart but at the same time I've finished rio 3stars and just moved onto Seasons and have close to 80hours clocked up already. Damn addictive game.

-37 - Prof Layton and the unwound future (DS)

Professor layton games have had me hooked since the curious village but good lord the story just gets deeper and deeper, towards the end of this game I got a shot right in the feels and yeah will happily admit to having balled my eyes out while watching the ending of it.Amazing storyline.

-36 - Child of Eden (xbox360)

This game is what Kinect was made for, if you have the Kinect bar, a decent sized TV and some loud speakers this is a game you absolutely have to play, Not only has it some of the most impressive use of the Kinect bar but also the game looks so beautiful as you fly through the internet and rocket your way through fiery pheonixes just... beautiful.

-35 Every Extend Extra (psp)

This game, a psp and a set of good headphones combined will have a high chance of stealing you away for days of play and it is the kind of game where you can always do that bit better and get the tempo up more, it's a very hard game to describe.... you control a star shaped shapeship... which you can defend yourself with it's primary ability... blowing up! and you need to wait til you are surrounded by enemies to do so to get score to get extra lives and power ups which speed up the song and make the game harder but increase the chances to get more lives and more score. The faster you can take this game to the better the background track becomes too til you have it as thumping rave music blasting to your bombing of enemies.

-34 Illusions of Time (snes)

An amazing rpg on the snes from Enix long before they joined with Square and turned to utter shite. This was one of the first kind of deep rpgs I played and with the exception of the sprite from mana returning to his plain of existance (but not dying!!) this game definately was the first one that introduced characters deaths, not only one of your close friends dying and talking to you from inside a whale who ate him. but also you have a scene in this game where you have a game of russian roulette with someone, this takes place over glasses of drink, one of which is poisoned. you get down to 2 drinks and your character (having a bit of physic abilitys) always selects the non poisoned glass, you are congratulated by all including the person you defeated, the story is about to continue but takes a turn for the dark as the person you beat congratulates you once more but then says that they must take what is coming to them. Picking up the last glass filled with poison and drinking it back in a quick shot before anyone could stop them, falling dead right infront of you.... you won.... fucking... dark game.

-33 Rhythm Heaven (wii)

Not only is this one of the best rhythm games simply from a technical point of view of having so many games you can play with your eyes shut by sound alone but also that helps in some games, Nintendo made this game so full of character that now and again you'll find yourself breaking into laughter as your seals roll back and forth along the ground or as you High five little monkeys from inside the seconds portion of your watch, amazing fun, and damn catchy soundtrack if you get your hands on it.

-32 Populous (SNES)

The only RTS on my list :D Bullfrogs absolutely amazing god sim on the snes, with a simple enough set of moves you had at your disposal once you gained enough followers growing mana for you outside their houses you play though cavemen stages, french worlds even stages based inside computers where the houses are all Nintendo consoles, I lost so much of my childhood to this game and actually finished it's whole campaign.... should point out this games stages took from 10 mins to about an hour each, and there are 999 stages to finish it. good times.

-31 PSO ep 1+2 (GC)

Played a ton of PSO on the dreamcast but never had the internet to actually play with other people, the gamecubes version of this game coming complete with 4 player split screen co op and this happening just as I got my 32inch tv while growing up meant loads of parties of PSO action following in the footsteps of red ring rico, gem of a game.

-30 Legend of Zelda : OoT (n64/3ds)

not much could be said about this game that isn't common knowledge, apart from perhaps how nice the 3ds remake of it is, really not to be just thought of as a simple port of the n64 game some of the areas such as the temple of time look absolutely breathtaking in glorious 3ds 3d.

-29 Metal Gear Solid : The Twin Snakes (GC)

Taking everything which made the original MGS and coating it in a thick layer of polish and Matrixesque bullet time filled cutscenes and you have without a doubt in my mind the best metal gear solid experience, bar none.
