Master, there is a 98% chance that game game you speak of is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

26. BioShock (X360, PS3, PC)

BioShock's Rapture may be gaming's single most atmospheric location, at once both unsettling yet deeply enchanting. What an absolute joy it was to explore this failed utopia, uncovering the story of its collapse through wonderfully acted audio diaries while dealing with its remaining crazed denizens. The story is almost as good as the setting... this is how you do a fucking plot twist! Gameplay itself is also a delight, a butter smooth FPS experience with loads of creative weapons and special powers, and even a sort of survival horror feel (something that is sorely lacking this generation) in the early goings until the game's backward difficulty curve leaves you hilariously overpowered toward the end. If for some unfathomable (fathom, geddit?!) reason you haven't played this gem yet, would you kindly?

25. Silent Hill 2 (PS2, Xbox, PC)

As the game opens, James Sutherland has come to everyone's favorite creepshow town to meet his dead wife... and it only gets cheerier from there. Silent Hill was the first game to convince me that a video game could be genuinely scary, and Silent Hill 2 perfects the survival horror experience both in terms of storytelling and game design. Sure, the controls suck a little lot, but that just makes it scarier! Akira Yamaoka's genius score rocks your face off; it's probably his finest hour. SH2 also marks the debut of the iconic Pyramid Head in his one and only contextually appropriate appearance (raping mannequins).

24. Red Dead Redemption (X360, PS3)

It only took seven console generations, but someone finally decided to make a good Western game (or at least the first one since Custer's Revenge). RDR is actually set in the early 1900s, the final days of the frontier, and the portrayal of a dying way of life lends the game a pervasive sense of melancholy and poignancy and makes a wonderful backdrop for Dan Houser's signature brand of anti-government invective. Still, it's basically Grand Theft Horse, so there's plenty of hell to be raised and laughs to be had (most of which come from being mauled by those incredibly stealthy bears). The multiplayer may be the best part of the entire package. While there's the usual complement of deathmatches and objective games, and even horse racing and poker, I rarely left the "lobby" which is actually a free roam experience that allows players to posse up or shoot it out over the entire map. Turning the tables on would-be gankers and counterganking them until they finally ragequit has made for some of my most memorable multiplayer moments ever. (Alliteration, wut.)

You are correct, Fi.

#20. Final Fantasy X (PS2)

The first Final Fantasy on PS2 and the first one with voiceovers. I really enjoyed this game a lot, the battle system was really good, the sphere grid was a nice change from what I was used to and finally Square had found a solution that made using every character a definite possibility. No longer did you have to form a party, level up three people then change so the others wouldn't fall behind, you can change between all of your characters on the fly in every battle. It was just brillant!

The story was interesting and the game featured breathtaking CGI cutscene (Yuna's first sending comes to mind). Also Auron kicks ass! There was a decent number of things to do once the main quest was over, mainly the Monster Arena (and it's crazy strong monster) and getting the ultimate weapons (or crafting your own with the customize option when you finally realize that you'll never get a time under 0.0 in the chocobo race). I didn't enjoy Blitzball at all but thankfully I wasn't forced to play it more than once per playthrough.

#19 Hint: When playing this game with my brother the most common fight was a wildlife protection officer and a Japanese school girl fighting against a guy who uses way too much hair gel and a Hong Kong police detective.

Tekken Tag Tournament.

Got it. Jun Kazama and Ling Xiaoyu VS Paul Phoenix and Lei Wulong

Clue for #19....going to try to make this tough to keep Truck at bay :P

Inspired by The Sims?

20) Super Mario World (SNES / 1990 / Platformer)

One of the most iconic games in one of the most iconic series ever, starring one of the most iconic characters. And great fun to boot.

Clue for 19, let's see how little information trucks needs.

Tame horses. Two false endings.
