YES to both!

P.S. Hyped for FFXIII-III?

You bet, more messing with time!

#15 - Syphon Filter 2 (PS1)

As guessed by Player2!

The first Syphon Filter was a bit of a revelation for me at the time it released.  The blend of action gameplay with stealth, intriguing plotline and fantastic set pieces made it like an interactive action film as opposed to a videogame.  Fast forward a year and the sequel is already out (they sure could be churned out fast in those days) which basically improved on the original in every way.

I like Syphon Filter 2 to being like a series of 24.  There's a terrorist threat; some high odds; some diverse locations and tonnes of action.  Really, the game is just superb.   You'll be parachuting into the mountains, blowing up bridges, shooting out a nightclub, sniping people in Russian streets and - most impressively - chasing down terrorists on the roof of a train (which was where my hint to Uncharted 2 linked).  All this back on the PS1.  Throw in an awesome array of weapons (including the ever-trusty taser) and a splattering of story (introducing my favourite SF character - Teresa) and you've just got a masterpiece that - surprisingly - still holds up very well to this day (although as you can tell from the screenshot below, the graphics are pretty hard to get past these days.  Which makes it all the more impressive when you dip into the gameplay and it's as tight as ever!)

Clue for my #14 - Best selling PC game of all time. If that wasn't clue enough - numerical prequel to one of the games in my 'currently playing' list.

Get.  Out.

(I weep that The Sims has come to this)

If it's not Sims 3 Kate Perry Edition, then Sim 2?

I don't think it's the best selling PC game of all time, just the best selling hardcopy PC game. Who knows how many sales Half-Life is at with digital downloads and what counts as a sale for World of Warcraft? (Current subscribers don't tell us the total number of subscribers).

Yep, The Sims 2.

And that's all true.  But it's the only thing we have figures for.  So based on the information we have, it's the best selling PC game of all time.  Until we get digital sales numbers of World of Warcraft/ Half life / Team Fortress / anything else you want to list, it's all we have to go on.  Otherwise we could just speculate endlessly about "X game may have sold Y copies digitally, which would give it bigger numbers".

Metroid Prime

Of the big three Nintendo franchises, Metroid was the last to receive a three-dimensional treatment. Unlike Mario and Zelda however, which retained their tradition third-person perspective in the leap to three dimensions, Metroid adopted an entirely new first-person perspective in its remarkably smooth transition from 2D to 3D. The result: Metroid Prime, a game that featured the elements that made its predecessors so popular but which gave players new glimpses into the Metroid mythology. Crucial to success in Metroid Prime is its heads-up display -- which features information vital to Samus -- and a system of exchangeable visors though which she can pick up heat signatures, use x-rays, and scan objects and enemies, collecting useful information from both.

Clue for #14:

This game has beautiful European box art reminiscent of Salvador Dali, but it's North American box art is rather ugly.
