Michael-5 said:

48. An under-appreciated SRPG which tells the story of a war from the perspective on honest fighters on both sides of the war. Was released on a Sony platform.
Incorrect Guesses: Valkyria Chronicles, Front Mission 3
Correct Answer: Front Mission 4

40. One of the first true 3D games on a Nintendo cartridge, also the last on this system. Multiplayer was played via split screen, but the image was reduced and played in a fix TV frame.
Incorrect Guesses: Starfox, Winter Gold, Super Mario RPG
Correct Answer: Stunt Race FX - I rented this game so many times as a kid, it made more sense to buy it.

29. Apparently, what inspired this game was someones garden. I didn't buy it for years, but once I played it, I got hooked.
Correct Answer: Pikmin

46. A precursor to Modern CoD's (Not the WW2 ones), one of the best online shooting franchises. This game was ported to consoles (Specifically ones whose libraries mimic those on PC) after a fair bit of time on PC.
Incorrect Guesses: Day of Deateat, Medal of Honor, Unreal Tournament

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. The other platform is not a gaming platform.
Incorrect Guesses: Final Fantasy VII

39. Of a team of 6, nobody makes it out alive. Prequel to #43.
Incorrect Guesses: F-Zero, Famicom Grand Prix

38. This game almost wasn't localized outside of Japan because Nintendo thought no one would be interested. Good thing NoA changed their mind. Fairly old game. A Spinoff franchise.
Incorrect Guesses: XenoBlade Chronicles, The Last Story, Earthbound

34. First platform game in the franchise after an 8 year gap. Made a story where the previous game concluded the series. Since the keytone Species was erradicated, and new species emerges.
Incorrect Guesses: Rayman Origins

33. Most people see me debate why this game is inferior to one higher on my list. Many think I dislike this game.

31. Since this game concluded the trilogy, the next interation, which was made by a new developer saw substantially less hype, and potentially killed the franchise.
Incorrect Guesses: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

30. EA-FU. Because of EA this game wasn't as good as it could have been.

28. The franchise is named after the system it debuted on, which was a different system in Japan then the rest of the world. This is the first game not on either of those platforms, but the franchise name hasn't changed outside of Japan, and in Japan, it's now named after an even older system.

27. This game looks and plays like Miami Vice (The Movie)

26. The creator of this game is well known for misplaced or ending quests, it's his newest game.

46. one of the Quake games?

38. Super Mario RPG



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

You have some hard to guess games .

38. Super Mario RPG

Nope to all of them. Mass Effect 3 is EA, how did EA sqrew up this games development? #30 is refering to a game not published by EA, but EA did ruin it a bit for me.

Was Super Mario RPG in risk of not being localized? Nope?

Should I give more clues to 46? I'm really surprised you guys are missing it.

46. A precursor to Modern CoD's (Not the WW2 ones), one of the best online shooting franchises. This game was ported to consoles (Specifically ones whose libraries mimic those on PC) after a fair bit of time on PC. I think this game was originally created as a MOD of a different game. It's difficult to buy this game idividually, without the source game. I specifically like the updated version better, probably because I was too busy playing Warcraft 3 when the original came out.

@Michael

Is 46 counter strike?



#14. Halo: Combat Evolved (XBOX) - Halo looked looked great, played even better and set up the standard for rest of the games that followed on the consoles in its respective generation. For me, shooters on the consoles just didn't feel right until i played this game. The entire experience made you feel that you were part of something epic. Also something that really immerses me into games is the sound and it was done really well with an orchestral score.

Okay, it has to be Counterstrike for 46

I'm going to try Halo: Combat Evolved for 43

39 then would be Halo Reach

38. Let's try: Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga

30. Some sort of American Football game?

28. Advance Wars?

30. Some sort of American Football game?

28. Advance Wars?

46. YES

43. YES Halo started life out as a Mac exclusive, and was initially presented at I beleive MacWorld expo in 1999 by Steve Jobs himself. I believe late in the games development Steve Jobs changed his mind about the game, and without additional funding, they wouldn't be able to finish the game. So Microsoft stepped in, paid for the rights, and the rest of the game, and realeased the best rated FPS ever as a lunch title on X-Box 1.

39. YES Noble 6

38. Nope, damn I hate those Mario and Luigi games. They are crap when you compae them to Paper Mario and Super Mario RPG

30. Nope, not a football fan, but this genre, like sports, is a genre casual gamers probably like more.

28. Close enough, Advance Wars: Dual Strike. Advance Wars debuted on the Gameboy in Japan and was called "Gameboy Wars." When we received it, it debuted as a Gameboy Advance game, so we called it Advance Wars. When Advance: Wars Dual Strike released, it released on the DS, but with the prefix "Advance" still in place. In Japan the name changed to Famicom Wars DS, and Famicom is the Japanese NES.

Yeeeeaaaaa. I thought Counter Strike would have been the second guess after Day of Defeat, another Half Life Mod, was voted.

24. It's a Mad World

23. This franchise was introduced to North America in this title, and it was because of the success of another Nintendo product. Did so well, it's developed a strong fanbase.

22. Ads for this game featured a shorted peom by Alan Seeger.

14. Borderlands 2 (PC)

13. Rumors are going around, this game is getting a spinoff as a first person shooter. This game I've played on 4 different "systems."

I have no clue, I want to say Metal Gear Solid, but Ground Zeros isn't a FPS.

Clue for #13:

The two heroes are named after musical instruments.

Is Kazooie an instrument? Is so, my answer is Banjo-Kazooie.

Well, a kazoo is kind of an instrument.

But that's it!
