8: Not broccoli, but llama's.
Hint 2: They walk around the landscape, there's news items about them, there's even a cheat-code that turns your advisors into llama's!
Hint 3: Which is strange, taking City Planning, Finance, Utilities, Public Safety, Health and Education, Transportation and Environmental news and advice from animals.

6: Though it's not explicitly mentioned anywhere, I'm sure each game in this series is based on a certain real-world country. It's not necessarily why I like it so much, but because of the 'year', the architecture of the buildings and the spice-trading theme I'm sure this one secretly references my home country.
Hint 2: Also, the digits of the years in these games's titles always add up to '9'.
Hint 3: Stuff is built on small islands, there are 'northern' ones, with spruce looking trees, and 'southern' ones, with palm trees.

8- SimCity, im guessing its SC4. 

6.- The Anno series I guess? No idea which one tbh

- This game broke from tradition at the time by having your maximum health increase after you’d found five of a certain collectible, rather than four.

01
- I suppose you could view this game as one long escort mission.

@haxxiy - you were correct with number 4 - that is Twilight Princess. However, number 1 is not RE4 or Ico.

SimCity 4 is correct!.

The 'Anno series' is also right, but yeah, which one...

Guess we might as well get started hinting at the 5 Ultimate Games of Games:

5) There are four campaigns, three corresponding to the races and a... "spooky" one

4) [SPACE] Speak

3) The game that turned a semi-obscure licensed IP into a massive phenomenon

2) In my childhood this was the game to play at LANs. Few people actually owned it since everybody just got it off a USB drive

1) Unlike many I prefer the instrumental english opening

Is #1 Yoshi’s Island?

Correct! Every level you have to carry a defenceless baby Mario to the goal and pass him on to the next Yoshi, so it could be perceived as an escort mission of sorts.
