MrSmartGuy 12/30/20 5:55:13 PM #10:	Honorable Mention - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii, 2006) Let's preface this write-up with letting you all know that I do not like most Legend of Zelda games. I played some Link to the Past when I was younger, but then got lost whenever I made it to the Dark World. I really tried to keep going in Ocarina of Time, but mostly against my will. The time looping mechanic in Majora's Mask turned me off instantly. And Wind Waker was OK until the fuckin' Triforce pieces steered me away from the game for good. In comes Twilight Princess. I legitimately don't know why I continued to give the series a chance. That said, what else am I gonna play on my brand new console that didn't have a single other good game on it yet? That probably helped the game out tremendously, because the first 3 or 4 hours of this game are so ungodly boring that it's a miracle I didn't quit on it. Afterwards, I was rewarded with some killer dungeons and boss fights, and that was enough for TP to become the first Zelda game I ever finished. I've gone back since then, but I just can't get through those first few agonizing hours. Perhaps that's for the best, given that it might just ruin a game I, at least to this day, hold in high regard. Honorable Mention - The Urbz: Sims in the City (DS, 2004) NOW we're getting into some of the weird shit. You might see the title and think "what's so weird about a Sims game?" But this is no typical Sims game. Sure, it still had your needs gauges: hunger, hygiene, bladder, but those were actually things you didn't particularly have to worry about too much. You also had a house, but you would only spend maybe 10% of your time there. No, the meat of this game was actually in its story and jobs. You work for a big corporation, but are fired for uncovering your boss's secret plot to take over the entire city and charge everyone for the air they breathe. He catches you and throws you in jail and you have to work your way back up from owning nothing to overthrowing your former boss and saving the city. To do this, there are several missions you must accomplish, like "Find a Cure for Vampirism", "Capture the Albino Alligator", and the final mission in the game, ~~"Use the Time Machine".~~ Over the course of the story, you make money by taking on jobs, like window cleaning and being a doctor, which all have their own accompanying minigames, which range from boring and repetitive to actually really fun. It's a very silly game that is not very Sims-like at all, and for that, it deserves a mention on my list. --- Xbox GT/PSN name/Nintendo ID: TatteredUniform http://www.scuffletown.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tRBE1.gif <cite>MrSmartGuy posted [p:948928049] in The Board ...
