#11 - ?
The first game in a franchise which got out of control this generation.

I want to try Call of Duty or Resident Evil

Call of Duty is correct, though Resident Evil is somewhat applicable.

Call of Duty really went overboard this generation with yearly releases, gigantic sales and the mega hype all around. I have CoD 1, UO, 2 and 3. Stopped when they decided to go to a modern era, which is immensely uninteresting in my opinion. Which is sad really, CoD 1 and 2 are two of the best FPS's ever created if you ask me.

13. The game is known for giving the player the power of decision, in order to alter the outcome of the game and many levels, but in the end it boils down to good or bad moves. This entry is the second in the series.

13 - KOTOR 2.

Nope, but you got the developer right (I think)

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. The next game in the series is unreleased
Incorrect Guesses: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Starfox Adventures

30. EA-FU. Because of EA this game wasn't as good as it could have been. Not a property of EA (EA screwed up someone elses game).
Incorrect Guesses: Mass Effect 3, NFL Games, Dragon Age 2

26. The creator of this game is well known for misplaced or ending quests, it's his newest game, was not published by the same people in all regions.

18. Introduced flying Monkeys, made by a studio which changed ownership, as a result many of the developers moved to Crytek, and are responsible for Crysis.
Incorrect Guesses: TimeSplitters

12. Valkyria Chronicles (2008)

This is the 10th of a dozen new entries to my list (so many games played in two years, old and new alike). There's so much to love in this game.  The hand drawn art style that is present not only in cutscenes but in gameplay is spectacular.  What originally drew me to the game were the concepts of the battle system. Using the SRPG concept of having multiple characters move across the battle field but then stripping away the grid is pure genious and creates a slightly more realistic method of troop advancement on the battlefield.  The story parallels World War II in a fantasy setting and does a good job of creating connections.  I cried at one point during this game (you can probably guess) which also included one of the more poignant musical pieces in the game.  The character leveling really lets you focus more of your time on actual tactics during battle instead of micromanaging your troops, which I like a lot. 



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

#11 Hint: Wa, WooHoo, YAHOOOOO! (Yes that's a real hint)

Super Mario 64

Question for everyone in-thread: What is the game in your top 50 with the lowest metacritic score? Or, if it comes from before the days of metacritic, what game was widely regarded as mediocre or poor by others?

The lowest-ranked game on my list is Yoshi's Story.

I think mine is Wii Sports Resort.
