Correct on both.

#12 - Donkey Kong Country (SNES): I had all DKC games for SNES in my childhood. Even if DKC1 doesn't have many secrets, and the gameplay is pretty simple, it's still an amazing game. The graphics and soundtrack are really good, I'm pretty sure the trilogy had some of the best musics for SNES. Still very nostalgic for me.

#11 - A Dragon collecting orbs.

My next three hints:

1. Pokemon for PS3

2. The climax of the game sees the heroine going Mama Bear on the big bad.

3. The Western Front as it might have been depicted by Studio Ghibli

Correct on 10, 9, and 8, not on 6.

7. Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky First Chapter

6. Sounds like Shadow of the Colossus

Correct on both.

Probably the funniest game I ever played. And funny, if it's done well, is a good thing. In this game it's definitely done well. In the very beginning the developers wanted to make a 'normal', 'serious' game. That would have been a mistake, and it would've made the game drown in the vast sea of forgettable games. However, the developers decided it was funnier to have patients in your hospital that have a bloated head for a disease. Or a big tongue. Or look like Elvis. The game isn't that long, but gets quite challenging in later levels. This mostly comes from the epidemics, which can make or break your reputation. I failed many times because of a bad handling of an epidemic. This game actually caused an epidemic, because at some point most people in my immediate vicinity were playing it; my aunt, my mother, my cousin, my best friend... Good times.

The top 10. Things get interesting now. The games in here have a meaning to me beyond simply being excellent. I thought Theme Hospital would be guessed, but it didn't. This next one will though. Everyone here knows it.

#10: This huge open world game takes most of it's inspiration from it 30 year old parent. Even the official artwork references this fact.

I think you're right on the bolded. So the fastest gun in the west wins here. And I say Breath of the Wild.
