Sup, im dropping a couple hints since im falling behind a bit, these are all easy ones:

40) First game of a spinoff series of a popular RPG franchise that copies the Pokemon formula. 

39) So this is a Mario game with the best cast of characters that never came back for another big game. Like, seriously, so many amazing supporting characters here I have no idea what is even going on in the world anymore.

38) Part 2 of the best platforming franchise not involving a plumber.

37) The best game the wii had to offer

#37: Obviously this is very subjective, but I answer with a popular choice around these forums: Xenoblade Chronicles. I have a list of more games to cross off, if this fails. My personal best game according to both lists of the past two years is unlikely, as barely anyone played that. Also this means you are done with Wii after that game…

#38: Whatever your best franchise besides Mario is. I just guess: Crash 2

#40: shot in the dark: Monster Hunter Stories?

Yep, you got it :p



39

Grim Fandanco (PC)

Interesting concept and story that are exponentially better thanks to their visuals, synergy in its finest.

38

Half-Life: Counter-Strike (PC)

A cult game between competitive games, one of the pioneers promoting e-sports.

37

Starcraft II: Wings of liberty (PC)

Marks a new standard for real time strategy games focusing on great gameplay.

36

Braid (Xbox360)

The highest point of indie games to date, it is more than you can see being intellectual and witty from start to finish.



#36 - The second adventure of a little guy and a robot.



Guessed by Farsala

This epic game introduced me to a strategy genre that scales it up from only controlling singular units. Here, you manage an empire of cities and regions and balance economies and armies. The Roman theme, which makes pretty much everything better, is added flavor. Other games in the series like Medieval II, which focuses on the age of Kings, Castles and the influence of the Pope, or Empire, which focuses on colonies, domination and global trade, are also two favorites of mine but the Roman theme makes this game stand out. The game itself, the main game at least, follows the period of the Roman Republic after the small city state of Rome became the most dominant in the region and the Kingdom was abolished, until the emergence of the Empire and the critical change of the political structure. The game has two great expansions; Barbarian Invasion and Alexander. The former focusses on the beginning of the fall of the Empire and the Great Migration of Northern and Eastern European tribes into Roman territory. The latter is a short campaign that focuses on the conquests of Macedonian Greek Alexander the Great against the vast Achaemenid Persian Empire.



#35: "YAYAYAYAYA!". This The Offspring song always makes me think of this game.
