Yep! Vague, but obvious enough for you to get it!

I got it right.  Cool.  I only said it seemed vague because it's one minor part in the entire game.  If I was wrong then I'd have had no idea what it could have been.

No one attempted to answer mine yet, a few pages back so reposting.  Editing to make it a little easier.

Hint for number 47.

After finishing this game, you'll get a better rank.  If you start a new game plus with that better rank, you'll have access to previously sealed off areas and more cutscenes in the main storyline.  Whether it's your first time playing or you're playing new game plus, your rank is told within the storyline itself at the very beginning.

Clue for 48:

This game was released a few years into this gen and is a reboot of a reboot.


Bionic Commando Rearmed????

Nope! Try again


Gah I give up! Another hint maybe? The console it was released on? PLEASE

Too late, lol. It was Prince of Persia.

48. Prince of Persia (PS3/360)

http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/game/24825/prince-of-persia/

This was my first Prince of Persia game and quite simply, the platforming was sublime. It's not without it's flaws; the enemies are repetitive and combat's too simple, but overall it was a good experience. I liked the way they circumvented the need to reload from checkpoints with the dying mechanic and the art style was a refreshing change from the usual brown and grey of games released around the sametime. The way the relationship between the Prince and Elika was built was also done very well. I think part of the reason I enjoyed the game is because gameplay mechanics were actually relaxing. I could play at my own pace whilst enjoying the artwork, the platforming mechanics just plain worked, and it was near impossible to become frustrated because there was never a reload screen. Underrated and misunderstood game imo.

Now I see it. Reboot of the 3D franchise which is a reboot of the old 2D franchise. I loved this game, and I'm not a Prince of Persia fan.

Clue number 47:

What do you get when countless innocent lives are left to depend on a band of amputees, who are mostly useless and receive their instructions from someone who sounds like a soda?

Some meme-worthy quotes, apparently.

Dragon Quest V.


Nailed it. I gave a rather detailed guess just because I wanted to express how great the game is. :P

Someone already said it, but Dragon Quest V?

You know, I own every main series Dragon Quest, but have yet to beat one of them? When I get a 3DS XL I'm going to bring up a lot of DS games high high on my list. Kinda ignored the system since the 3D XL released, and moved over to PSP.

DQV and VI are really good, although VI is massively inferior in every way. I'm not sure what to say about DQIX because I have only started playing it a few weeks ago, and I've never played DQIV.

#47. Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride (DS)

Dragon Quest V isn't my first Dragon Quest game (that would be DQVIII), but I wasn't sure what to expect. I had some difficulty getting into Dragon Quest VIII and, I suppose, was sick of traditional turn-based gameplay in general at the time. But, I heard some good things about DQV, and decided to give it the series a another chance.

Turns out it was a fantastic idea, because DQV is a remarkable game. The story is charming and heartfelt, the battle system gets an addicting kick in the pants via monster collecting, and the DS-exclusive casino ate more of my time than it reasonably should have. Unlike other DQ games I've played since, DQV's story actually holds up pretty well over the course of the game, without many parts that drag (which was DQVI's biggest problem). And again, it's a beautiful, well-presented story which tugged at my heartstrings well before the game officially opened up.

'SimTower'

for the Macintosh personal computer released in 1994.

 

'SimTower', one of the earlier 'Sim'-games. Like my #49 entry, 'SimTower' was an extremely addicting game to me. This was the very first game I played on a personal computer (so, not my very first game, but the first on a PC), a Macintosh. A Performa 630 from 1995 to be precise. The computer and the game are still in my possession, and to keep that old Macintosh from dying, I boot it up and play this game every once in a while. You see, old computers like that can die if they're deactivated for a long time because they include a rechargable battery that the computer uses to power up.

The game itself would actually still be quite addicting, if you're into the 'city-building' genre. Because that's what you're doing, except it all plays out in a tower. From the foundation, to condos, to office space, to hotel rooms, to sky lobbies, to a shopping mall and leisure facilities, to even waste disposal, parking garages, a metro-station underground and a cathedral on top, the player has to manage it all.

That last thing is the ultimate goal of the game, a goal that can take a while to reach. Beginning with a simple '1-Star' tower you must expand your building, earn money and deal with different crises (there's even terrorist threats) to reach that '5-Star' rating to be able to build that cathedral on the 100th floor. A feat I've only been able to reach once!

#47 Hint

This extremely well known game is usually enjoyed by all. Until the most notorious character in gaming appears to ruin the mood.

Resident Evil Revelations (3DS/2012)

At the beginning of 2012, it looked like a banner year for Resident Evil. A brand new mainline installment, a co-op multiplayer spin-off, and a handheld title that promised to return the series' roots. By the end of the year, it was a different story. Operation Raccon City was a bust and Resident Evil 6 was a massive letdown. Only Revelations saved 2012. Focusing on mood, ambiance, and the trappings of survival horror, Revelations delivered one of the best RE games of all time. The scares are frequent, the action intense, and the shooting mechanics superior. All in all, a healthy blend of the old guard (horror) and the new guard (action). Capcom, take note: this is how you build a Resident Evil game.
