Tekken 5
(Change YoY: -3)

Tekken 5 is in my opinion still the best game in the entire series (haven't played 7 yet though), as it found the perfect balance of new elements and traditional Tekken gameplay. It took out some of the less well realized elements introduced in the 4th game and improved on the ones that did work well, making for a kind of best-of-both-worlds approach that actually succeeded really well here. The roster is also excellent, with pretty much all of my favourite characters making the cut, and the new characters in general being a welcome addition to the series.

This is just a really well designed, and fun fighting game, and one that I've spent more time with than almost any other of its genre. I've always preferred 3D fighting games to 2D ones, and Tekken has always been the best of those in my opinion. If only they would finally just include the tag mode in the main series as well, rather than restricting it to the Tag Tournament releases, then it would be pretty much perfect.

A peculiar game for sure, what genre is this even, and one of Rare's often overlooked classics. Overlooked in favor of things like 'Perfect Dark' and 'Banjo-Kazooie', but personally I feel 'Blast Corps' is actually their best original game. It is unique in every way, I have seen anything like it before or since, which makes it all the more interesting an memorable.

In a plethora of levels the player takes control of various vehicles, mostly serving the purpose to demolish buildings like a bulldozer does. Other times these vehicles however are giant robots, a "rocket-buggy", a dump truck or a simple van that has a sound effect as if it was part of a certain 1980's television show. The demolishing of buildings is usually the objective, however sometimes things actually have to be saved from destruction or an objective can be just a race again the clock.

Trains, building cranes, harbor equipment; basically everything that can move can be operated. This makes for some puzzles on how to proceed on demolishing things that can actually be very hard, so the game is definitely not a breeze to complete. The reward at the end of the game, which is already packed with content, however, really makes up for it when you can even begin to take your demolishing vehicles to the Moon, Mars or as far as Neptune! Original games like this are the reason why the N64 was the best console ever.

- The second game in the franchise. It's the best selling one, not counting spin-offs.

Is this Mario Paint and Dr. Mario?

Time for another hint then.

#31: 100 floors.
Hint 2: And on those floors you build office space condos, hotel rooms and shopping malls, and top it off with some grandeur.

Dr Mario is correct; Mario Paint isn't.
