37) Thank Goodness You're Here! Utterly bizarre, could not explain half of the jokes as they are both weird and plentiful, I have no doubt I probably missed about 100 background jokes alone.

36) Is This Seat Taken? A pretty cute little puzzle game some of the conditions you have to meet are a little annoying but then it wouldn't be much of a puzzle game otherwise. Nice and short too but I can still go back to levels and try to do better.

35) Kiwami 2, a far better game than the previous Kiwami, the combat is mostly improved in terms of how smooth it is aside from some enemies still being annoying to fight. It also has one of my favourite villains in the series. 9/10

34) Yakuza Kiwami, frankly a pretty average game with annoying boss fights and one of the combat styles is levelled up through a different methods and a lot of the skills are locked behind being S++ on this other system, including a fairly useful Kiwami move which stops certain bosses

from regenerating their health which is always an annoying mechanic oh and people constantly blocking or dodging to a point 5 miles away. It does make me want to play the original at some point though.

As a side note it's also quite interesting that I prefer 2D Metroid to 3D whereas with any other franchise i.e. Zelda or Mario I vastly prefer 3D. A big part of it is just spacial awareness in 2D compared to first person in Prime where I get blindsided more often in comparison.

Those old tank like controls combined with the low resolution of the Gamecube really mean I can't see enough of the environment.

33) Ace Attorney Investigations: I really enjoyed this one, it was fun to play as Edgeworth and being able to run around during the investigations is so much better. The cases and characters are all really good and I enjoyed the few cameos from certain characters.

32) Hyrule Warriors: DE, a pretty fun game that does get maybe a little repetitive in terms of maps and objectives but it does let you feel what it's like to slaughter 3,000 Gorons as Toon Link

31) The Wind Waker: Not really my top Zelda, sailings a little too slow, the dungeons go from simple to a little tedious with the command melody stuff. However I do like the designs for a lot of stuff in this game along with the music and art style.

30) Halo 3: This one did used to be my favourite Halo but recent playthoughs have started to drag it down for me, the gameplays as strong as ever but it's really hampered by the awful sections where 2 characters will slow you down to talk meaningless shite.

29) Halo 3: ODST, decided to do this one on Wed night and I really forget just how strong this game is, it's nice to play as an ODST although you do still feel pretty superhuman and while I did a playlist that cuts this part out it's also very cool to do a little bit of exploring

Frankly I think its in more need of a remake than Halo 1 is, not only graphics wise but because of those previously mentioned talking sections and some crap dialogue (no Miranda war is not an actual location). In the end though its still a pretty strong end to the trilogy.

trying to figure out what happened to your team. It's a damn shame they never made a sequel to this one as I think its got a lot more potential.
