#30: Successful on its first run, even more successful on its second run.

The main characters did the "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" gestures.

Another one: First one of the franchise to use a mechanic that allows you to experience the game from different perspectives.

Hint for #30:

While this game feels and plays like an old school survival horror game, you don´t have to worry about zombies at all.

A first-person shooter game often disguised as a third-person adventure game. Or, that's what I figure anyone would do in 'Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast', because what in the world is more awesome than fighting stormtroopers and Dark Jedi with your trusty Lightsaber. Not much, is the answer.

The game is the follow-up to the first, and also awesome, 'Jedi Knight', which in turn was the sequel to the old, influential first-person shooter game, 'Dark Forces'. It revolves around Kyle Katarn, a popular Star Wars Expanded Universe character who's canon existence currently hangs in the balance, and his quest to seek revenge on a pair of Dark Jedi supposedly responsible for killing his partner and right-hand-girl Jan in front of him during the early stages of the game, until he uncovers a deeper plot.

The game is still has the most satisfying experience of Lightsaber combat of any game. I have played through it all the way several times, and I used to save the game at every encounter with the "Reborn" Dark Jedi and the "Shadow Troopers" because of how awesome those fights were. I often went back to fight the best ones over and over. In fact, I feel like doing just that right now!

That game was almost guessed, but not quite. It's been some time since one of you guessed one of my games in time. Maybe the next will be again, as it surely is one that like a million of you probably have played and liked or at least know about;
