#16. Star Fox 64 (N64, VC)

Another game with memorable voice acting (google "Do a barrel roll" to see what I mean!). The game closely resembles the original with interesting new ideas added into the mix. The all range mode levels were some of my favorites especially when you had to fight Star Wolf, the landmaster levels were a nice change of pace. I wasn't a big fan of the Blue Marine though (sorry Slippy you still suck).

The game was over pretty quick (if memory serves me right you could get to the end in less than an hour) but on each stage you could get a medal if you passed a certain number of hits (enemies killed), working to get those medals really added replay value to the game and it gave you additional options in the game multiplayer mode.

The multiplayer was simple but tons of fun, especially if you had 4 players  trying to shoot each other down.

So, three of my games were guessed correctly, so I'll add 3 more hints.

50. Maintaining Sanity is just as important as staying alive in this game, which almost never released. However who could blaime the protagonists after what they saw.
Correct Answer: Eternal Darkness (GCN)

49. One of the first games, by a newly merged company, this was a violent game which involved the slaying of hundreds by sword or dragon. Had multiple endings, all of which are viewable on a single playthrough, each of which getting more bizzare with an ending representing a different outcome. One of the main Villains was actually your best friend who gets corrupt with jealousy over your Dragon and links with his own.
Correct Answer: Drakengard (PS2)

45. Often Regarded the best game ever made.
Correct Answer: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)

43. Often regarded as one of the best games of all time, the main character is an iconic trademark which almost saw exclusivity on an opposing platform.
Incorrect Guesses: Final Fantasy VII
Correct Answer: Super Mario Kart

48. An under-appreciated SRPG which tells the story of a war from the perspective on honest fighters on both sides of the war.

47. A post apocolyptic treasure which featured slow motion exploding headshots.

46. A precursor to CoD, one of the best online shooting franchises.
Incorrect Guesses: Day of Deateat

44. One of the most well known voice actors brings a unique sense of comedy to this Treasure Hunting sequel.

42. You only have 3 days left.
Incorrect Guesses: The World Ends With You

41. This marks the first Major spinoff off a traditional iconic series.
Incorrect Guesses: Final Fantasy Tactics

40. On of the first true 3D games on a Nintendo cartridge, also the last on this system.

39. Of a team of 6, nobody makes it out alive.

38. This game almost wasn't localized outside of Japan because Nintendo thought no one would be interested. Good thing NoA changed their mind.

37. The first of an epic RPG trilogy, which involved making black/white decisions on how to protect the human race.

48. Valkyria Chronicles?

47. Bulletstorm?

46. Medal of Honor?

44. Uncharted 2?

42. Majora's Mask

41. Super Mario Kart

40. StarFox

39. no idea

38. Xenoblade?

37. Mass Effect



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

It was originally developed as a SNES game before production moved over to N64, and then finally to PS1 when Nintendo's cartridge format proved too restrictive.

15 is a nice obscure-ish game.

Clue for 15: Worshipping various stone objects. A woman yelling a great deal. Space travel from a 5000 year old civilization? How very brave.

Not moving to CDs cost Nintendo the Final Fantasy series.  The expectation (and plan) at the time was that Final Fantasy 7 would be on Nintendo's system like the first 6 games were.

I'm seconding that Uncharted 2 guess for 44, statement of Majora's Mask for 42 and Mass Effect for 37, and asserting the 38 guess for Xenoblade Chronicles as a statement (from Mr. Khan's guesses).

47. Fallout 3?

Loved the Drakengard clue.

 



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

Correct! That was fast.

You worship stone heads, obelisks and vaults to gain powers. Your shaman yells when she casts powers. You somehow move between planets despite the extent of your advancement being building wooden huts. And your villagers are called Braves.
