Missed a few days since I was busy with some other things but here's some updates!

#49. Fire Emblem Fates

My entry into the FE series and it was pretty recent too so I don't have too much to say about this one, except for that it's really only the second SRPG that I have played, the first one was LOTR: Third Age on GBA, an underrated gem but it didn't make the list. The beginning was a bit rough and I was a bit let down with the writing and story but when I managed to get the ball rolling it became a pretty addicting game. Overall it was a good gateway game into the genre. 

#48 Animal Crossing

I can't even imagine how many hours I put into this game as a kid, I think I considered it to be my favourite game of all time for a bit too. While I haven't played the Gamecube original in a few years and the gameplay is not as polished as in newer games such as New Leaf, this one manages to hold a special place in my heart. I have a lot of vivid and great memories about this game and its charm still gets me to this day. A game from a simpler, more carefree, time.

#47 Age of Empires III

A bit of a strange game this one is. Age of Empires 3 did away with the 2D graphics from AoE 1 and 2 along with the historical campaigns in favour of 3D graphics and a main story based on fictional events, at least until the expansions. This game also saw a change in overall RTS combat because most units now were ranged gunpowder units and the scope this time was limited to the New World. But despite being so different, AoE 3 was stil a great RTS game and I spent countless hours in the map editor, campaign and random maps .

#47 - Legend of Legaia - PS1 

It has to be Yoshi's Wooly World.

- Could 48 be Red Faction?

46 – Counter-Strike

When I became a teenager the arcades were already dying: in my town you’d still find a Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi or Metal Slug machine in some bars, but the amusement arcade had almost disappeared. However, I was able to see the rise of the cyber-cafés as a place where I could go with my friends in order to play videogames. We spent countless hours playing online multiplayer games in one of those cyber-cafes, and Counter-Strike was one of our favorites. Although I was never very good at it, those police against terrorist matches always were a thrill.

Can't spell 'Blast Processing' without Sonic.

I'm not sure though if you indeed mean Sonic 1 or if you mean something on another platform because of the "not here... without..."-part. If that's the case I'm probably not going to know.

Too cryptic? Second hint-time then;

#46: Callsigns of the famous pilots in this huge phenomenon of a franchise usually start with the letter 'R', but instead of 'Red' or 'Rogue', the callsign of the player's character implies he's a bit more, novice.

Hint 2: So because you're just a Rookie, on one of the missions you'll have to "Follow [his] lead, and do as [he] says."

#46 Borderlands 2

Quite a recent entry into the top 50, as I only just recently played this game for the first time. One of the few FPS games I can genuinely say I thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end without reservations. However, this is only in local co-op, as I honestly doubt I would have liked the game nearly as much had I been playing it alone. With someone else playing in the same room with you Borderlands 2 was an absolute blast, and one of the best games I've played this year as a result.

Here's a hint for #45 then:

A comedic FPS made by the people behind Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark. One of my favourite local multiplayer games ever, although the monkeys can go to hell.

#45. The only one in the series where your weapon can go in 8 directions.

Timesplitters?

---------------------------------------------------------------

I'm going with two new hints:

#44: For the first time in the franchise, this game went "multiplatform", although both versions had significant diferencies, among them the last word in the title.

#43: This is the third entry in a strategy series. A leader's life can last thousands of years, although his/her costume will change through time.
