Game 43 is nice and obscure.

It is a licensed game, but not based on a movie or book. And it is based on a period of history involving plants.

War of the Roses?

It is indeed about the War of the Roses, but it is not the War of the Roses released this year, no. It is a licensed game.

Crap...does it involve time travel?

To a certain extent. At the beginning of the game you are brought back from the future (just you), and I think you're sent back at the end.

43: MaxwellGT will kill me for putting this game so low .

It is a bit low... at least 40 places too low

Edit: Nevermind, didn't realise it was a clue to no. 43!

Hehehe, Maxwell would think the same about Earthbound though .

Deus Ex started high up my list, but it was one of the cases which surprised me when I started thinking more about the list, it just kept going down. I love the story, the gameplay and the characters, but something just didn't clicked with me to make it higher.

I'm stumped. Is it an old game?

PS2 exclusive. Released towards the beginning of the lifecycle.

What if I were to tell you that several games from this license have been developed, and that the license was first turned into a popular TV show?

And if I were to add that even if you've never watched the show, you've probably watched some sort of...shortened version of it?

In this simulation game, you could occasionally see someone with a bloated head or with an excessive amount of hair. Watch out though, as the Grim Reaper is always watching...


OMG.  I can see us becoming friends, S.Peelman.  This game is in my list too, but much, much higher up :D

LOL. Theme Hospital is correct!

First SimCity, now Theme Hospital. Why do you not live closer to me??



44. Assassins Creed II (PS3, also on 360 & PC)

The first game was a bit boring and repetitive. The sequel completely changed that with a massive playable world but with interesting quests and just generally filling the game with some superb content.



44. Sonic Adventure, DC (GC version played 2004, original 1999) Sega/Sonic Team (last year, 42)
As a spoiler, this is the prequel to the game that is #2 on my list, and so retains many of the properties that made me love that game so much. The same type of gameplay, which unlike so many 3D sonics, emphasized platforming, and they introduced the glorious Knuckles treasure-hunting stages. The problems, of course, are that even the GC version, which was somewhat remastered, had some buggy gameplay, and while i don't hate Big the Cat for who he is, those fishing stages can burn.

My number 43 is a 5th-gen game that came out after the PS2 released, and shared the same initials.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Clue for 43: "HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Pretty obvious really
