#50 - Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (Kudos to Scoobes & Veknoid for guessing this)

Multiple reasons why this particular C&C made my list over many other entries in the series (and I have left off a number of C&C games which I really loved).  The co-op campaign was a fantastic step forward - it was an enormous amount of fun for me to play through the whole game with a good friend of mine; we had an absolute blast.  The "land, sea and air" combat was as good as it's ever been with Red Alert; and the storyline - although completely nonsensical - was incredibly amusing.  Like I mentioned in my clue, seeing Tim Curry among others completely ham it up was just insane.  In fact, I think it may have my favourite monologue from any game ever:

All in all, a fantastic RTS and a fantastic return to form for the series after the abysmal Tiberium Wars and even more abysmal Tiberium Twilight.

Clue for my #49 - propelled a Run-DMC song to stardom (again) and featured an all-star cast including Lucy Liu; Billy Zane and David Arquette. Oft-regarded as the best game in the series.

Hint for #49: The true story of the horrors of the religious wars of the Middle Ages. Or so the name would suggest. Note that this is the name of the expansion, and the main game will be the one going on the list.

Crusader Kings II? Although I guess the underlined parts wouldn't really fit that.

Hint for entry #49:

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.*


*Unless they're from Nevada. Fuck those guys.

Well goody me.
I'm not quite finished with my list, but as of now I have 50 games, they might change and there is many new entries.
My 50th for now is Modern Warfare 2.

49# hint - A lot of the characters names share the name of vehicle parts

Streets of Rage? All I can think of...


No, never played that series. 

The predecessor also has a vehicle and its predecessor too. Both of these have similar vehicles.

SSX Tricky, and it is the best in the series.

Hint for #49:

The third (and regarded by many [including me!] as the best) game in the series. Out of all the nations one could choose from, I chose the undead forces to destory my enemies and add their skeletons to my ranks. Skeletal dragons were among the most powerful creatures I possessed as well.

And no, it's not that game you're thinking of... it's on the same system though!


This has to be Heroes of Might and Magic III. And you must be referring to the Necropolis faction.

I'm going to try to do clues this year, but no promises; here's the first!:

My #50 sports a battle system which would later see a similar and simplified cost of action system used in Final Fantasy XIII and a childhood friend who won't join your journey without the proper sequence of events.


It has to be Robotrek. I know my Quintet RPGs.

Alas no, but that gives me a game to look at that I'd previously not heard of so yay. My clues may apply to too many games so here's another:

The main character's name is similar to a once popular but now discontinued soft drink.


Hmm. Surge, Josta, Kick, Slice, Orbitz, Jolt...

I need to meditate on this one.
