Nope, but that would've made for good hint for that game.

Well, I haven't played it since GameCube, but I remember being a bit disappointed by it myself as well coming off of Mario 64. I remember feeling the best parts were when FLUDD gets taken away. I don't really know how I would feel now if I replayed it, but yes it does still get a lot of flack.

Well.. no. I don't think you find out through a mural what the big deal is in that game. And while indeed it is Malak that tells you, he does so sooner than at the final battle. *ahem*but*ahem*youcan*ahem*stillguessthatgamefurtheron*ahem*

In my game, you find a mural halfway through with a vague text that tells you about the big secret, but only at the final fight the end boss explains that it's actually true.

#15: A lot of games feature greek mythology, a stab in the dark: Titan Quest.

#14: Romance of the three kingdoms. Apparently VIII.

#13: I guess Dynasty Tactics 2.

#11: Hmm, command&conquer?

#4: Borderlaands

Oh, 11 is Total Annihilation I think. Kinda feel like I should have gotten this a long time ago.

Putting the old 'Mario Kart 64' in this list as the top representative, or in my case, the only representative of this series might be a bit unorthodox. Of course, I couldn't prefer this game over a newer one because of its story, or because I like its art direction better. No, objectively, the greatest game of the Mario Kart series would be 'Mario Kart 8', but Mario Kart 64 has special meaning. Still, there is some merit to choosing this game as the best one; it for example is a bit more skill based than newer entries and luck is a bit less of a factor. The Blue Shell can be dodged more easily, it doesn't feature auto-drive power-ups like the Bullet Bill and there's plenty of shortcuts that require the player to know what they're doing.

But like I said, for once, this game earns its spot this high in the list in large part due to a nostalgia factor. Not only memories with good endings though, also quite a bittersweet one. I've told this story before here on the site, but this game will forever be tied to a memory of my family, because this was the game we all played together when we were all together for the last time. It was some time past the N64's time, and my games were moved to my grandmother's house. One Mother's Day, like some coincidence because that never happened, it's a long story, everyone in the family decided to visit at once. Me and my cousins started to play Mario Kart 64, and then, my aunt and uncle joined, and my parents too. Grandma was watching from the couch. My mother and stepfather were Peach and Yoshi like they always were, my aunt and uncle were Wario and Bowser, my cousins were Toad, Luigi and Donkey Kong and I, I was Mario. It was a great day, but sadly, that never happened, and can never happen, ever again.

It's been a little while since I played so I may be misremembering, but I feel like this could be Wind Waker?

Second hint for #5, and first hint for #4.

#5: The whole secret of the game is blatantly told on a mural halfway through the game, but when you first play it, you don't exactly realise what it means until the end boss explains it.

Hint 2: The mural was pretty vague about it, but the boss explains that beating him, would wake another entity and have far-reaching consequences for the land you're in and everyone that inhabits it.

#4: This game features the most annoying sound in the world. Guessed by drbunnig - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island

Nope, but you're getting warm, just posted a second hint.
