'Motocross Madness'

for the PC released in 1998.

 

A no-nonsense game. This racing game tries to be serious and realistic, but really isn't. Mostly it's because of strange glitches, and unrealistic jumps and falls that in reality should kill a person. And that's what's good about 'Motocross Madness', because unintentionally, it gives the game an extra level of fun. It's been a while since I played it, but it would probably still rank among my most played games ever. Hours upon hours of multiplayer with a friend, it's definitely my most played racing game ever, even edging out Mario Kart 64.

As in every racing-game, the objective in 'Motocross Madness' is to win races. The game features only simple mechanics and doesn't feature a real carreer mode, but that's not an issue when the best way to play it is in short intense bursts anyway. Almost like a handheld game. In any case, the player is still capable of racing small tournaments, aside from the single race and the time trails.

The races can be done on different types of terrain. There's open desert races built for speed, outside tracks that feature large jumps and deep canyons and there's the tight stadium-based 'Supercross'. The latter is most elaborate, and includes the most tracks. Also, the game includes the most easy-to-use map editor ever concieved to create tracks for 'Supercross', something added an enormous amount of value to the game for me.

#29 Hint

This, so far final (but a sequel is announced), entry in this series didn't really focus on anything truly mythical or magical unlike the other games. Personally I think storywise that was for the best, and it put it's realistic feet back down to earth. Though the characters in the games did actually think something was up at first.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (PC, Xbox/2002) Guessed by Scoobes

Morrowind represents a watershed moment in my gaming life. Before I played this masterpiece I had consumed mostly action games: platformers, shooters, action-adventure, fighters, etc. But things changed after Morrowind. I fell in love with the RPG genre. The absolute freedom of the game captivated me. One could postpone the main storyline indefinitely to explore the vast world inside the game, collect its treasures and meet its strange denizens. With a rich mythology, an outstanding amount of content, and incredible attention to detail, Morrowind had it all. For me, it's the best in the series, and one of the better RPGs ever made.



Hint for #38

This game just got a spiritual successor on Xbox One. Too bad it scored so poorly :(

Panzer Dragoon (Saturn/1995) Guessed by brendude13

Having missed all the Sega systems growing up, I made it a point to go back and collect as much as a could (I'm now a proud owner of Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast). The Saturn was of particular interest to me because I knew next to nothing about it. Maybe that's why this game blew me away. It wasn't even on my radar until I started researching the Saturn library. From the opening cinematics to the first appearance of an endless ocean littered with ruins (pictured above) I was mesmerized. Then came the battles, happening in 360 degrees, and the adrenaline rush of dodging and ducking enemy projectiles and environmental hazards. A beautiful, demanding, amazing game from an underappreciated system.



Hint for #37:

The hero of this first game in the series shares his name with a 14th century Italian poet.

#37 - This game received some praise for mocking other well established franchises but critisizm for a lack of originality. Had a very challenging post game challenge mode, which took me 2 days to finish, but it was damn satisfying. IMO this game defines fast paced action games. This game was criticized because the enemies look like a main enemy type from Mass Effect. There is even a section which mocks Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell. This is a futuristic space themed game, which takes place on a ship which looks awefully similar to the Citadel from Mass Effect.

It a game from a developer who USED TO have Sega publish their works.

 

37 - This game is not even exclusive, and when did Sega ever publish Lost Planet or Gears of War?

I screwed up there, I saw Sega, but forgot about it when I wrote those games. I want to guess that the developer is Platinum Games, but I'm not enterily sure about that.

I didn't know that about Forza 4, I just guessed it because I've red you saying that you like the franchise.

It is something by Platinum Games
