Firstly, Rostom, that's not a bad Idea, but with the Babe Tournament incoming, I'm pretty much sick of gathering pictures, and will be busier when I start running that and don't know if I can be assed to start finding pictures. And with the size of some of these posts, I don't think I'll really want to be doing pictures shots as well.

Though if everyone wants them, once I hit my top 100 I'll start posting them with the game descriptions.

Secondly, Chionos, feel free to bring up contrary points to any of these games. Part of the reason is to get some Dialogue going on games people don't often get to talk about. Don't let the fact these are just my opinions stop you.

Anyway, on to the next set!

Bit of Nintendo lovin'

116. Rune Factory: Frontier (Wii)
      For those of you who know me, you’ll know I’m a fan of Harvest Moon. You’ll notice though none of the Harvest moon games appear on my list, as I forgot to include any upon it’s completion. However, all of them would rank below this game. Rune Factory is essentially everything good about Harvest Moon plus some.

      With the inclusion of of dungeon crawling and a Narrative, Rune Factory achieved a level of emersion other Harvest Moon titles could not. The Farming remained very fun, and more functional then before. Opting for Monster Barns in place of regular farm animals gives a fun variety of harvestable items, as well as giving you ways to train up some farm help.

      Now, I know not a singe thing I said there does not sound fun. At all. It’s a game focused around farming and talking to people. Really, I don’t think it’s possible to make a Rune Factory game, or Harvest moon for that matter, sound fun. And I think most fans of it became fans in one of two ways. The first is confusion as to what the game actually is, and then the end up trying it and loving it. Option two takes place with the following scenario.

Guy: Hey, this game is awesome!
Guy2: What is it!
Guy: A Farming simulator! And you can get married in it!
Guy2: That sounds smurfing stupid.
Guy: PLAY IT!
*Hours later*
Guy2: Fine, I’ll smurfing play it.
*Days later Guy2 emurges from his home*
Guy2: This game is smurfing awesome!

115. Kirby Super Star (‬SNES)
      This is the definative Kirby game. I never enjoyed the others much at all. Epic Yarn had potential, but was so mind numbingly easy I just couldn’t bring myself to give a single smurf, especially since there really wasn’t a good narrative going on. Super Star, though, while liking a strong Narritve had a lot of other things going for it.

      It had a big number of powers Kirby could obtain, all of which operated differently and required different stratagies. Pair that with an AI or human controled partner made from one of many enemy types, you get a huge amount of styles to play.

      With multiple story modes, all of which having thier different little quirks, of the SNES era of Side scrollers, this game was easily the most varied. I absolutely adored this game growing up, and even now I find much pleasure in running through it.

114. Paper Mario (N64)
      This game was the crowining achievement of the N64 RPG. Mind you when your only real competition is Quest 64, this isn’t really saying a whole lot. But trust me, this game has a lot going for it.

      More then most other aspects though, this game has a lot of charm and humour. You grow to like the characters and world quick, as well as find yourself laughing constantly throught the plot. This game knows not to take itself to seriously, opting more to make your foes look like a bunch of putz’s rather then a legitamate threat. And I’m surprisingly okay with that. Purely humorous RPG’s aren’t all that common.

      Asside from that, it has a solid battle system. Not a whole lot of variation to be had, but it’s simple and fun. And with no real problems, and a style of gameplay that fits the light hearted nature of the world and game, it’s forgivable. Especially with all the fun maps and finding the different inventive ways to advance.

      Sadly Thousand Year Door will not be making this list. Not that it's a bad game, but I never got a chance to play through it, so I can't give a real honest opinion on it. Though I did play through part of the beginning, and what I saw of it was great!

113.Golden Eye 007 (N64)
      For me, this is pretty much the best FPS game I have ever played. This is, for the most part, a Genre I just don’t enjoy. This game, however, had a few things going for it that gripped me more then other shooters.

      As you know by this point, I was never very competative, outside of a few games. This is one of them. All the different silly modes you could unlock, or even regular play, were great fun to be had. I had a mean knack at murdering people with the throwing knives. But the four player split screen on Multiplayer were great times.
      Though what hooked me more then the multiplayer was a campaign mode that actually had some length and challange to it. Lacking in your modern halo’s is both a length and challange. Even to people who haven’t played those games I see them beating it on the harder difficulties with relative ease.

      Call of Duty, while being more of a challange then a game like Halo on single player, still suffers from being abysmally short. I always hated when these FPS games started skimping on thier campaign and putting most of the focus on multiplayer. I can understand why, but I was always sad to see the Campaigns of this Genre flounder about so pathetically.

      That is why I will always love Golden Eye over any other shooter I’ve played. A campaign that was fun, interesging, and a challange to complete. As a single player gamer, this easily takes the cake for best shooter to me.
