#180 Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (SNES)
The sixth DQ game was never localized for the SNES but it had various translation patches. With the recent DS release (Which I havent played) the game has gained some popularity. My review is on the Super Famicon version of DQ6. My first impression was that the graphics, character sprites and areas in general looked so different from DQ5. I mean DQ1-4 (On the NES) had similar style of graphics and areas but DQ6 I believe used a separate engine which I commend. Battles in this game were tough initially and like most DQ games, this game requires grinding if you want to advance the game without too much frustration. After playing DQ6 you find out that the job/class system from DQ7 wasnt its own idea. It only built upon DQ6s implementation. I have a soft spot for the DQ games. Its traditional RPG style is just soothing and DQ6 was without a doubt one of the best RPGs on the SNES.
#179 Winning Eleven 10 (PS2)
Forgive me if putting a Football/Soccer over your favorite RPG/Game is annoying you. I put this game at this high a rank for good reason. First I love football and have always been a supporter of FC Barcelona since 1998. Second, the gameplay mechanics, depth, and career mode (Master League) was simply fantastic. To this day I cant think of a better football game than this. Everything was so balanced and the 6 star difficulty added a whole new dimension of challenge and entertainment. This game has so much playability that its not even funny. But all in all this is only a game for football fans and football fans only and me being a huge fan played (and still plays) this game for hours and hours.
#178 Pokemon Stadium 2 (N64)
This is just like Pokemon Stadium except that it is better in every SINGLE way. This game was also the talk of the town during its release and I used to have many fellow players hanging out just so we could play Pokemon Stadium 2 after school. Pokemon dueling is so much fun and at that time the craze over Pokemons were staggering. That added so much to the experience and was one of the key reasons why Pokemon Stadium 2 was such a joy to play. This game also pushed the N64 system to its limits and IMO it most certainly goes down in the books as one of N64s best.
