30 is correct!

29 is not correct.

24.  I'll assume is neither Black and White nor the Pokemon game.  I'll guess West of Loathing.

Well, shoving the stone in the forehead is central in the Diablo lore, also enabling the follow-up games.

Command and COnquer? 

Diablo games have really dark endings when you think about it. Before Lord of Destruction expansion, DII ended with Marius handing over Baal his soulstone and Baal walking away burning the sanatorium down.

That's not it, so sadly not clever

33. It's not a Pokémon game so... but Gold/Silver is on my list.

32. No, in the series I'm thinking of they are VERY similar.

31. Nope

Yup, that's the one

Pillars of Eternity is a throwback to the old Infinity games, including Baldur's Gate, but with newer technology. This was pitched for crowdfunding and became one of the most successful crowdfunding campaigns for gaming. That is how much people loved the idea to get a new Infinity game. It probably helped, that Obsidian was founded by people who formerly worked at Black Isle.

Same as in the old Infinity games, you move your party through gorgeous environments and interact in many ways with the environment and characters. The game is an RPG, with pause-based gameplay. Which means the fight is going on and you can give commands, but you can pause if you want to give more detailed commands. Back then Baldur's Gate had a D&D-license, but for Pillars of Eternity Obsidian developed their own gaming system.

The story features a world of Eora in turmoil. Some years ago an event called the Saints War saw a person claiming to be the god Eothas lead a war, but he was eventually killed leaving worshippers of Eothas in doubt. Many children are born without a soul, these are called Hollowborne and the epedemic of these happening is causing fear. Some magicians called animancers experiment with transferring souls, often resulting in the creation of monsters. You play the watcher, a person who can sense souls.

The game was so successful, Obsidian made a successor, Pillars of Eternity 2.

Last hint for #30:

#30: A-Plus, Akebi, Ramen, S-Chan and just Frank. Deliver the cleaned laundry. Actually you forget to deliver it. This 3DS game was part of a series of smaller games. You play on Friday. This is also the day the monsters come out. Guessed by Machina.

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

YoY: -3

When Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch was first released on the PS3 back in 2013 in the west, home console JRPGs weren't exactly doing very well commercially or critically. Outside of Final Fantasy, which was also going through its own difficult period thanks to XIII not being all that good, and XIV being an unmitigated disaster at launch, most JRPGs had either moved to handhelds, failed commercially, or just weren't all that good to begin with. This was one major reason why I was so very hyped for Ni No Kuni, in addition to being made by a genuinely talented studio in Level-5 in collaboration with the film studio that had created many of my favourite animated films ever in Studio Ghibli.

In terms of audiovisual presentation Ni No Kuni is a beautiful game. The music by Joe Hisaishi is wonderful, and the Ghibli-esque art style is translated perfectly into the new medium. I loved the fair tale-like world, and the colourful cast of characters that inhabit it, from the protagonists to the villains and everyone in-between. The weakest part of the game is probably the battle system, which tries to combine a turn-based and real-time combat systems into one, and as is usually the case, it doesn't quite come together as well as planned. Overall though, this is a great game, and one I should probably try to go back and play again one of these days. If only I had the time.

Even though this is the largest drop of any game, 'Motocross Madness' still has a place in my mind. It is one of the few racing games I like, and one of even fewer that are mentioned here on this list. Maybe because the game's so ridiculous. It looks like it is supposed to be a realistic game, but the way you crash and fall, or get blasted across the map if you try to go out of bounds, is anything but. On one hand it made me think like this was unintended, but on the other the game has a name that's "Motocross Madness". So I'm not sure.

There were other 'Madness' titles, but I really only played the first 'Midtown Madness'. That was fun as well, and equally goofy, further feeding my suspicion that Motocross Madness was never meant to be a serious racing game, but Midtown Madness didn't really last. Part of why Motocross Madness did was that you could make your own tracks, but sadly only for the Supercross mode. At one point, me and my friend would each make a track that was as stupid, annoying, boring or long as possible just to spite each other. In this case though, a gaming feud didn't ruin a friendship.

I only have one new game this time, because the rest is guessed. Hopefully this one will last a bit longer.

#26: The main concept in this game originated from a demo that has a name with a digit double that of another game in this series.
