Possibly my favourite videogame quote ever apart from Moneybags' haiku from Spyro 3.

Correct!

48 was posted briefly yesterday and hint 47 wasn't posted but I'll post that game now.

47 - Hotline Miami 

First time I ever saw this game and I just thought "what the hell is this piece of crap" and one day I saw it on a sale and I bought it just to see what people were screaming about. And, oh boy! This piece of crap turned out to be a piece of gold. It's a fantastic game where the gameplay has little to no faults.

I had very much enjoyment of it, but it fell short on soundtrack, where there was only a small portion which I liked and the plot was lackluster.

But, I have to say that if there is anything, then that would be that we need more games like these. Just pure gameplay madness and that is what I'm seeing from SM3DW right now and that's what you'll be seeing further down in my list.

I don't know, I thought the beam ammo system was a nice way to sort of "contain" you, as I never liked having to exercise self-control in the original Prime in order to get use out of all the beams after gaining the last one. (You get plasma beamed. And you get plasma beamed, and you get plasma beamed. Everybody gets plasma beamed!) Even though one of the things that I find most satisfying about Metroid games is taking a stroll across an area that gave you trouble earlier in the game, and utterly roflstomping everything in it with your overpowered equipment.

The Spider Guardian never really gave me trouble, to be honest, but the Boost Guardian was a motherfucker. I did only play the Trilogy version, though, and I hear both of them got nerfed pretty hard in that version. Is it true?

Also, hint for #46:

This game taught me that if I stick around for my friends when things look bad, they might just stop being assholes and randomly ditching me all the time.

#46 - Creepy as hell!

#46 - Goldeneye 007 (N64)

I never got to play the game until a few years ago, and I was shocked at how well it held up. I kept hearing about how it aged poorly, but that's not 100% true. The controls take some adjustment, but they're rather fluid and they don't interfere with your chances at survival. Of course, this is largely due to the forgiving autoaim. The missions are still largely fun and the multiplayer (despite having rather basic-seeming maps) doesn't disappoint either. Honestly. I consider Goldeneye 007 to be more fun than most of the dual analog or PC-based shooters I've ever played. And that surprises me.

Pokemon Snap?

Yup!

Those poor Electrodes...

I'll admit, most of my Top 50 is a bit vanilla. #23 should be nice and controversial though.

It's a Pokémon game for sure. I'll go with Pokémon Black/White.

Mind is blown O.O.

How did I not see? I just figured from your hint, 'Wonder Red'... could be a soda. "Here, have some 'Wonder Red'."

Suitably vague...

Silent Hill 2?
