Keep in mind that these are just votes, and not positioning (which also help a game's placement). Plus the fact that there's still ~50 users that will complete their lists... nothing's set in stone. ^_^

*snaps*

Missed that part...

Oh... the first Diablo?

That 'something' is something I thought would make it too easy to guess: A fully open forested area. Zelda U will most likely have that the way it was shown in Twilight Princess's reveal-trailer. Twilight Princess is therefore... Correct!

Well done!

Not even close, sorry.

Game #12 - Victoria II

There is just something so satisfying about being an all controlling immortal God. Some games like Civilization have you playing through all of human history while Victoria 2 is just restricted to the Victorian Era. You take control of any country that is on the map and really from there you can pretty much do anything you want. Want to recreate the French Empire? Go for it. Want to become communist Spain and spread the ideas of Marx around the world? You can do that too. There's much more to do in this game than just conquering the world. You can an economy and country to manage. You need resources and factories to produce goods and to be mindful of rebels which might try to overthrow your government. You can create your own country and customise your own flags as you wish the game is pretty mod friendly. Along with that there is multiplayer which is a ton of fun (assuming your checksums are correct!). Victoria 2 is not a game for everybody, it has a massive learning curve and the whole idea might not sound that exciting. But once you get into it, I guarantee you  that won't even notice how many hunderds of hours have gone by managing your country.

I'll make it easier: It's a tower defense and FPS hybrid, and it's the second entry in the series.

While not the most accurate representation of a memorable decade, the atmosphere was so perfect and involving.

Another hint for the game #11: Not the first game and not even the first 3D version of the series, but this version finally lets you indulge on real estate, unlocking missions.

GTA: Vice City

Huh... This looks cool, never heard of it. Should be right up my alley by the looks of things. Might check it out!
