48 - Seen as a copy of this massively successful franchise, but is a little more silly in comparison. This game is the last one before it went in a really weird direction.

47 - You were once a normal otaku guy, until you became some sort of ghoul, and you're helping a vampire kill off other ghouls disguised as people by... taking off their clothes. They burn of when their skin is exposed to sunlight. The same thing can happen to you though.

48: Saints Row... right? But which one? I played the third one and that seemed pretty weird so I`d guess Saints Row 2?

47: Akiba`s Trip?

48: The original spinoff to the Warriors Franchise.

Samurai Warriors?

As a huge Warriors fanboy I hope I got that right

Yes. You should be able to guess 10% of my list then :D.

I put the mobile games Angry Birds and Candy Crush Saga at 48 and 47, respectively. I played Angry Birds for a few hours when it was in its prime. The game did not play any kind of role in my gaming life directly. But, it had a gigantic impact on mobile gaming. Likewise, Candy Crush had a huge impact on mobile gaming, and helped popularize the freemium monetization model.

I put Candy ahead of Angry because I played it a fair amount myself. I played 150 levels or so over a few months, before quitting. I only quit because I lost all progress during a phone upgrade, and didn't want to start over.

Neither of these games is particularly impressive to me. They're pretty simple puzzle games, really. But, they were (are) so instrumental to the development of the mobile gaming industry that I think they are among the most important games ever. Further, the general population has played so many hours of these games that they just cannot be overlooked in any big game list.

#50 Game Description: This spin-off jrpg series makes it's debut on a Sony platform, where the next (and final) 2 installments moved over to Nintendo handhelds. This is the 2nd spin-off game in this franchise was released on the GBA

Game hint: Anime Hairdo

-

#49 Game Description: This is yet another spin-off game where the developers used the IP from Nintendo. This game merges many of the characters from past titles within the franchise, though many are only obtainable through DLC

Game hint: The Guardian was split into 2 characters, the light which joins you near the beginning, and the dark which is the antagonist

-

#48 Game Description: This simulation game makes it's debut way back in the old console era and most games were released primarily on Nintendo systems though others have been released for Sony systems as well. It has moved mainly to the handheld systems, and this game was released only on a Nintendo handheld

Game hint: Game requires basically only touch controls to play

#50 I think it's Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

#49 I think it's Hyrule Warriors (Legends?), although I haven't understood the hint, so I could be wrong.

47 – Donkey Kong 64

 

 The 32-64 bit generation was the golden age of 3D platformers, and Rare mastered the genre in the N64 with a particular approach to the genre that focused in recollecting hundreds of items in order to advance: the collectathon. With a record of 3,821 collectable items, Donkey Kong 64 was the most excessive exponent of this kind of games, what probably contributed to the decline of the genre (I think that both DK64 and Banjo-Tooie have aged worse than Banjo-Kazooie, for example), but it was also a really fun and crazy game if you could find enough time to dedicate to it. The two arcade machines inside the game (Jet Pac and the original Donkey Kong) and the unforgettable DK Rap grant this game a spot in my list.

I was thinking of Heavy Rain, but your choice makes way more sense XD.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Time for a second hint;

#47: The version I played didn't have it, but the original release included in it's soundtrack a main theme that was based on the anthem of a rather... shady, to say the least, real-life government.

Hint 2: The real-life leader of said shady government is, in mechanized form, the game's boss.
