I'm surprised no-one has guessed my #16 yet, so here's the hint again with some additional help:

The biggest game of all time in its genre (unless you count Pokemon), and the one that truly broke both its franchise and the genre in general into the mainstream. 

And here's a hint for #15:

A critically acclaimed RTS from the 90's. The Supreme Commander-games were this game's spiritual successors.

#15
Around and around and upside down. Truly a thrilling ride!

Correct.

#15 Total Annihilation

This to me is the best RTS game ever made. Even though the AI isn't quite up to modern standards anymore, the rest of the game more than holds up. The gameplay is amazing, and the two sides, while quite similar in many ways are different enough to necessitate different strategies when playing. This is another game I can just pick up and play pretty much whenever, and never be bored. 

Hint for #14:

Train suplex!!!

To guess something, Thrillville?

And Uncharted Drake's Fortune?

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

The Nintendo Wii system couldn't have started off, or the GameCube send of, with a better game than 'The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'. As of now the only game in the series simultaneously released across two platforms spanning two generations, but that will change soon enough. Personally I got the GameCube version first, only to get the Wii version a couple months later when I finally got the Wii.

The game follows a familiar pattern in the series and is heavily inspired by one of it's famous predecessors. That doesn't make it less of a game though, and it actually helps the fluent story. A story presented in a very stylistic way, including what is probably the best cutscene I ever saw in a video game. Like any Zelda game, the look of it serves the theme of the game perfectly, in this case the depressed story of the evil thief Ganondorf's return after being imprisoned and his puppetry of a cast-down member of the Twili, a people that live in the seperate dimension of the Twilight. The environments, the tone of the visuals and the soundtrack all serve to show a Hyrule long past it's prime, with hints of a more prosperous past.

What sets the game apart though is it's gameplay design. Dungeons are important to me in any Zelda game, as well as the beautiful landscapes, and this game delivers in a big way. The game is home to plenty of enormous dungeons, each more unique than the next, each with their own imaginative back-stories and plenty of aspects and detail to theorize about. Some of the series' best dungeons and bosses are in this game. It also features grand vistas while riding on horseback, which never gets old. It all is some of the best level-design in general among the entirety of gaming actually. It keeps drawing me back every time.

Couldn't get a second hint out for #14, and since I don't like loose ends, we'll just have to move on I guess;

#13: Even though this game's hero was never really a hero at all, because it turns out he died without swinging his sword once, he is still regenerated to combat his "old nemesis" and his legion of peasants-turned-zombies once more, way before zombies were cool.

No, this game is a lot more popular, just needed it to be a bit vague ;)

Refreshing my hints: #17: It's klobbering time! H2: One of the few good games based on a movie.

#13: An "spiritual successor" before that term was popular. It features a cooperative multiplayer, unlike its predecessor. Hint 2: This game is closely related to my #17.

and new:

#12: In this sequel your goal is to make sure that the event you were trying to avoid in the previous game happens. In both games your goal is the same (save the World), but your information varies. In this sequel you finally visit places that you had only heard before, including a lost continent named after a group of Primates.

Here's the hint for #15 again. This should be very easy:

Train Suplex!!!
