Now i'm back on track.

Number 40 is Wario Land 3, for the Game Boy Color back in 2000. It built on the excellent gameplay dynamics of Wario Land II: the immortality meaning that navigating cleverly-constructed levels was your key task, well, Wario Land 3 upped the cleverness several levels, with each stage containing multiple keys, each to one treasure chest, and with Wario's powers being upgradeable (though that was also a drawback, as things like "can't swim" were VERY annoying in the early-game), meaning you had to think at a higher level all the time in a deceptively-simple platformer.

Number 39 was a dating sim and a medieval SRPG in one

Come on Kapi this one's easy. It's FE: Awakening right?

The Legend of Zelda (NES, 1987)

guessed by Leadified

Of all the thousands of video games released over the past forty years, The Legend of Zelda might just be the most impactful. At a time when console video games were short and straight-forward, The Legend of Zelda arrived on the scene with an adventure so large and so open-ended that it required a back-up battery save, an innovation that revolutionized the industry. Not only did it allow developers to increase the size and scope of their games, it also allowed consumers the freedom to play whenever they wished. No longer required to beat a game in a single sitting, video game fans could save and quit their games without fear of losing progress. Moreover, Zelda established, on home consoles at least, the foundation for non-linear action-adventure games like Metroid and RPGs like Final Fantasy. Many modern blockbusters, like Grand Theft Auto and The Elder Scrolls, owe a lot to The Legend of Zelda, in addition to pioneering computer games like Ultima. In fact, modern gaming in general wouldn't be the same without Zelda.



I have way too much DS and PC in my list ALREADY.

OK, let's post in the right thread this time. >_>

Hint #43:

In this game you collect and train souls for an upcoming conflict. Even women are drafted, something that clash with the mythology this game is loosely based on.

Valkyrie Profile.


Aye, that's the one!

 

 

 

Hint #40:

 

War is so much more enjoyable without Hitler. Oh, and ants. Ants everywhere.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

  • System: Sony PlayStation 3
  • Genre: Rhythm
  • Year: 2007
  • Rank last year: * (R)

I fell hard for this fad. For a while, it looked like the 'Rhythm' genre was going to be the genre in the 7th Generation. Every generation has it's own defining genre, and it looked like this would be it, until the FPS genre stole it's thunder and went on to become even more succesful. I played Guitar Hero every single day for a couple years straight, starting with this entry in the series. Afterwards I moved on to World Tour, Guitar Hero 5, Warriors of Rock and Metallica. Very recently I got one of the DS entries, but only because it was so cheap it was basically free. The player must of course, play guitar songs, usually with the guitar controller. It's possible to play it with a regular controller, but why would anyone want to do that? Anyway for a while I got very good at it, to the amazement (and ridicule) of my friends and family.

Of the five games I got for PS3, I actually prefered the setlist in Metallica, for one because they're one of my favorite bands period, but mostly because those songs were the most fun to play. Setlists in the series were highly dependant on their setlists. Boring songs (to play anyway, to listen is something different) would brake the game. This is why my interest waned during the later games. Guitar Hero 5's setlist was very mediocre without a lot of good songs and Warriors of Rock's setlist was barely rocking. I never even played every song in that game. Guitar Hero III is in the list though, because this game I played the most and always came to even when newer games were already out. It had the best difficulty curve and it's the one started one of the biggest addictions I ever had.



Game #39

At some point in this game, there's a certain reflection which ruins your plans on multiple occasions afterwards.

That's right :D

I need to try and make more cryptic hints, people are guessing my games on their first try...



No guesses for my hint yet?

Here's another. I like trains.
