#4 hint - Some loved it and some hated it, but we can all agree that this game had more technical bugs than mutated ones...


FALLOUT NEW VEGAS!

I agree. It quickly became one of my all-time classics. The only thing detering it from higher spots are the limited time (which unfortunately gets in the way at times) and the atrocious AI design.

No, but your next guess will be correct

pretty much unrelated but how was Battle of the Five armies?  I liked Desolation better than the first hobbit but don't like the dwarf elf love story or the overuse of CGI.  Is the CGI good in this one for the orcs (Smaug was fantastic so you have an idea of what I like)?

I liked it overall, though I admit when it comes to movies, I'm easily satisfied.

I do think Desolation of Smaug is the strongest of the trilogy personally, but Battle of the Five Armies is I'd say a worthy conclusion to the whole Middle Earth saga so to say. I don't know if I'll think the same, but for now I'd both it and An Unexpected Journey on the same level, with Desolation slightly above.

I won't go in detail, but the dwarf/elf story doesn't stop and the movie is still ridden with CGI, and some things are a bit over the top. I think I see what you mean, luckily most monsters are viewed from a further distance generally so it isn't as noticable as in the other movies, but with the main orc generals you'll easily notice like in the other Hobbit films. They don't look as good as Lurtz or the other Uruk-Hai did in Lord of the Rings. Actors in make-up just beat CGI. Fight and battle scenes are generally amazing and I think I definitely got my money's worth.

Thats the one

   The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

   System: GameBoy, GameBoy Color
   Genre: Adventure
   Year: 1993
   Rank last year: 5 (=)

 

 

 This game is, even though well-regarded by the general community, seriously underrated. Not only does it only narrowly miss the podium, it is the best handheld game ever made and none come close. Link's Awakening, even put's it's big brother, A Link to the Past (#41), to shame. Link's Awakening introduces many of the series' mainstays; such as musical instruments with various unlockable functions, the collection sidequests, fishing, mini-bosses and mini-dungeons. It was released on a console that had low specs, even for it's time, while A Link to the Past released on the powerful Super Nintendo which made it all the more impressive. It had cutscenes, while it's Super Nintendo counterpart didn't.

Link's Awakening is a technical marvel. How can a game this huge exist on the GameBoy? A game with this level of detail and depth? I still don't believe it. As Link's Awakening is A Link to the Past's direct successor, it follows the same Link who get's trapped inside the dream of the mythical 'Wind Fish'. The Wind Fish is unable to wake up due to his nightmares. The being has dreamt up an entire rich world filled with characters who don't know they don't actually exist. Many say Majora's Mask (#23) is the Zelda series' dark story, but they are wrong. It is this game. Not in part due to it's perfect gameplay design and brilliant level-design, does this game take you at the first second, until the game is finished after a long adventure and with the game's emotional ending, it finally let's you go.



Were my hints for Link's Awakening really that cryptic ?

Anyway, Top 5. We're in the big leagues now. As far as I am concerned, each one of these games are perfect, and if gaming died right this second, I'd be content with being able to play these last five games forever.

Game #4

This game was supposed to have another art-style like a game the publisher had recently released, until it's lead designer decided otherwise. Proof of this original style, can still be seen in the game's intro.

Baby Mario's crying sound is perfect, too?
