Along with the first two, the game does a good job at combining 3D and 2D platforming elements. Level design in the game is very varied, resulting in a game that just does not want to get boring. The Crash Bandicoot franchise, Crash 2 to be exact, was also the franchise that sold me the Playstation. #38 - ? A game in a similar style as my #39 game described above. However, it is still fairly new. Super Mario 3D Land?

Correct!

In a single try even.

Awesome.

Someone else acknowledges this game. I always feel it is way underrated and it will be on my list too, very high up. I think this is genuinely one of the most impressive games ever made, relatively speaking. The scope of this game goes way beyond what the GameBoy was designed to be able to do and even gives it's 'big' SNES brother a run for it's money. I mean, this game even has cutscenes! Many sidequests, and an actual storyline that is developed further as you progress during the game. It also introduced mini-bosses, usable instruments and the collectable-sidequests to the Zelda world. All these things are actually superior to their equivalents, if even present, in ALttP... On GameBoy!

Awesome.

Game 36 is a platformer. The franchise was great for a short while, then kind of weak for several years, and has recently become excellent again.

36 was the first in the franchise.

What happened to 37?

Rayman? Or Rayman Advance?

37th - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (PC, 2011)
Dethroning Daggerfall as my favourite TES game, Skyrim brought back a lot of mechanics that the series had lost in the past two iterations: Skill perk systems, random generated quests and a much improved main storyline. While some things were spared or streamlined in order to make it more console-friendly (UI was the prime example), fortunately it has been since solved thanks to the ever excellent modding community. 
Mod community apart, the game stands atop of a lot of it's own merits. It has an amazingly vibrant open world, with much more variety not only on areas to explore, but overall wildlife and enviroments, something that has been thoroughly lacking on the past TES games; the difference between approaches is also a lot differentiated now and both melee, magic and ranged combat has been so much more refined (partly due to the great perk system), opening up a plethora of different character build approaches.
TES: Skyrim is a pretty great experience that will take hundreds of hours of your time if you wish to explore every nook and cranny and it will still leave you wanting more. With the upcoming expansion into Morrowind territory, the game can only get better.

      

Shameless promotion of my ENB Skyrim photos is shameless.

Number 36 is one of the darkest RPGs on the PS2.

Shadow Hearts?

#37 - Twisted Metal Black (PS2)

I'd been aware of the Twisted Metal series since the PS1 days, but it was only with the early PS2 release of Black that I decided to try out the series.  And man, was it enjoyable.  Crazy death match car combat with these beautiful destructable environments, challenging AI, great multiplayer and fucked up storyline.  Story was my biggest complaint actually, that in Europe that game was censored and quite a few cutscenes were stripped from the game.  That didn't stop it from being an incredibly enjoyable game that I still break out regularly to play!

Clue for my #36 - A strategic third-person shooter, which took elements from the Battlefield series and mixed them into the universe of this very popular IP.

The original Rayman (PS1). Correct.
