Tetris?


Nay.  But thanks for having a go at least :P

I'm not sure you'll be familiar with the series this game is from.

#17 - Recently released and still haven't finished it yet. I don't need to complete it to know it deserves a place on this list. The game is most fun when the story mode is actually ignored.

Grand Theft Auto V.

Yup. It wasn't too obvious was it?



19. Portal (17)

Probably only down this far largely because I'd play it's sequel if I wanted to revisit this type of game, this may be the game that makes me give the FPS a second chance (computer aiming seems far simpler than console for someone poor at multitasking).  The wonderful physics puzzling of the portal gun progresses nicely, teaching you all of the different things you can do with your "weapon" at a reasonable pace.  GLaDOS is nearly a perfect character (honorable mention to the turrets) with the writing for her character, and the song in the end credits alone is almost worth the price of the game when its discounted (often).  The game didn't overstay its welcome with the part after the test chambers becoming less straightforward but still using what you had learned.  As a result of how good this game is, I couldn't wait for the sequel and the addition of new mechanics and forced me to buy my first gaming computer.



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

Clue for my #18 - PSP port of a PC game which itself was a port of a earlier 1989 PC game.

Ys I & II Chronicles?



Around the Network

Damn, really far behind; mass update incoming

First the clues:

26. Previous iteration of a game that came out on the 6/12/13.

24. Not the first game in the franchise, but it did introduce a memorable musical score to the series which has been remixed and re-used for the sequels.

23. Like Baldurs Gate but in 3D.

22. This game popularised one of the biggest franchises of the gen.

21. This game features a character who managed to get on the cover of Playboy in Poland (not the actress, the actual virtual character).

20. Features possibly the longest (or shortest if you're lucky/good) boss fight in existence.

19. An HD remake recently came to Steam, there's even a new expansion pack.

18. It was all a dream.

17. This game's spiritual successor released this year (and is now higher on the list).

18: The protagonist's name is kind of similar to my username. I'm pretty sure playing this game without cheats would have been no fun at all. The subject matter is really, really awesome, which is part of why I prefer it to its "predecessor" (though I love both).

 

18. Age of Mythology (arKANTOs)



Kantor said:

19: The series' name is kind of meaningless now because none of the games actually have anything to do with each other. This game's predecessor had some great ideas, but awful execution, so although it reviewed well, many people (including myself) kind of despise it. This game's villain is widely praised.

19- Bioshock Inifinite

19 - Age of Empires II

18 - The Simpsons: Bart's Nightmare ... Final Fantasy X?

23- Close but it was still a D&D game

22- Correct!

21- I'll give you this one, it's the sequel, Witcher 2.

19- Correct!

18- Nope and nope! The franchise is huge and this is one of the old portable game's.
