You can kill off all of his imprisoned bodies before Malak uses them to regain health. That way, you only need to get his health down once and the fight's a lot shorter (note, you do need to have a ranged Force Power like Lightsaber Trow, Drain Health or Force Lightning).

I managed to figure that one out myself. It's just that as soon as i confronted him one-on-one, he'd have me dead in seconds.

Jedi fights in the first KOTOR were like the madness of the Vrook battle in KOTOR II, but *all the time*. KOTOR I left me feeling conflicted, because i could see the greatness, it was just veiled behind the glitches and the endless ass-whoopings that were handed to me. KOTOR II was just so much more *playable*.

Not a ton to go off of here, but I feel the same way about Golden Sun. Though the game still maintains a good position on my list.

My 42 is my only Vita entry and my favorite Vita game. It is viewed by many as the best NEW IP on the handheld, and a sequel is on its way.

This might tie my record for fastest answer.

Gravity Rush.

Yep.  I need to start making harder clues.  People get mine too quick.

I see what you mean, and there's certainly truth in it. Sometimes you need some kind of perfect combination of weapons/characters/feats for a fight to not be frustrating. I once had this fighting the Guard Droid inside the Dantooine Star Map temple .

But, KotOR II isn't completely clear of this though. Once all of my party was killed in one stroke each by Ghost Revan in Korriban's Secret Tomb. And yes, there's Vrook.

None of those things overshadow the pleasure I get from both games though, especially KotOR 1 .

#43 - Summoner 2 (Kudos to Carl for guessing this)

One of the more obscure games on my list.  Picked up in HMV as part of a 2 for £20 deal with... another RPG on my list that I won't spoil for now.  Summoner 2 actually turned out to be the bigger surprise.

Playing as the Goddess Lahara reborn, you have to fulfil your destiny and heal the tree of Eleh.  Typical high-fantasy RPG stuff, really (and I hadn't even played the first Summoner game for any reference, really).

I can't particularly describe what made this game great.  It just worked so damn well.  Combat was a fast, fluid action-RPG style; you could mix things up at any time by switching characters on the fly (and each character controlled vastly differently), or if you were tired of all the characters you could switch to Maia and change into one of her summons.  The story, although a little convoluted at times, was enjoyable from beginning to end.  The graphics were again nothing special, but there was some beautiful artwork in there and genuinely creative bosses and areas.

And it was challenging.  And just the right length for a game.  And of such good quality that I returned straight away to replay from the beginning.

If you're a fan of any action-RPG's; any loot heavy Diablo clones or even just a run-of-the-mill JRPG fan like me, I'd recommend playing this game.  It's also out for Gamecube so you can play it on your Wii (although I'd recommend the PS2 version) and it's just a whole lot of fun.

Clue for my #42 - developed from an earlier game which appeared on the Sharp X68000, of all consoles. Went head to head with Nintendo's mascot to redefine 3D platformers but ultimately fell into obscurity while the Italian Plumber's formula became the genre norm.

Jumping Flash.
