55.Xenogears
Points Received/List Appearances: 67; 5
Developer: Squaresoft Product Development Division 3
System(s): PS1, Playstation Network
Genre(s): JRPG
Previous Rank: 75th (List 8)
An older Squaresoft RPG that was once very rare and expensive but is now very accessible on the Playstation Network for a great $9.99.
The game is very loved for its characters, gameplay, music and especially its complex yet interesting story.
While Disc 2 is wildly infamous to some, most fans will say that going through the whole thing is very much worth it.
54.Tales of Graces f
Points Received/List Appearances: 68; 6
Developer: Namco Tales Studio
System(s): Playstation 3
Genre(s): JRPG
Previous Rank: N/A
The most recent entry in the big Tales series... literally released last month as of this writeup.
While a lot of typical Tales tropes are still there, there are a bunch of differences from games like Symphonia or Vesperia.
For one, there is the CC system which replaces TP, in which you technically can't run out of using artes. The battles are still in 3D and there's free run but you run 'foward' to in an emeny instead of to the left. This has the fastest Tales battle system as of now.
53.Super Mario Galaxy 2
Points Received/List Appearances: 69; 10
Developer: Nintendo EAD Tokyo
System(s): Wii
Genre(s): 3D Platformer
Previous Rank: 36th (List 8)
The original Super Mario Galaxy was so popular that it convinved Miyamoto to create the first direct sequel to a 3D Mario game.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 has a lot of the same mechanics as the original but a bunch of elements are different.
There are more powerups, Luigi takes less effort to unlock, Player 2 as more options, choosing levels through a map similar to Super Mario World, and considered to be the best change for some: the addition of YOSHI.
52.Portal 2
Points Received/List Appearances: 70; 7
Developer: Valve Corporation
System(s): PC, Mac, PS3, Xbox 360
Genre(s): Puzzle-platformer
Previous Rank: N/A
Portal 2 was already considered the best puzzle game by many, so when Valve did the impossible and made Portal 2 EVEN BETTER blew fans away.
Portal 2 has the same mechanics as Portal 1, making two portals that connect to each other in order to solve puzzles.
However Portal 2 adds many great gameplay elements such as: goo, funnier moments, new characters, and even a separate co-op mode which has separate puzzles from the single player mode (you can even connect to other people online to play!)
51.Team Fortress 2
Points Received/List Appearances: 70; 9
Developer: Valve Corporation
System(s): PC, 360, PS3, MAC
Genre(s): Multiplayer-only FPS
Previous Rank: 77th (List 3)
Another Valve sequel game, guess second time's always the charm for them, eh.
An FPS game that revolves around its multiplayer aspect, and for a while was one of the bigger online communities on Board 8.
Unlike other multiplayer FPSs there are "classes" in this game: Pyro, Engineer, Spy, Heavy, Sniper, Scout, Soldier, Demoman, Medic. Each class gets its own set of weapons and skills and you can choose a new class everytime you respawn.
