#72 — Bully (Playstation 2, 2006)

When I was first putting this list together, I forgot all about this game. But Bully is an incredible experience. It took the style of open-world game that Rockstar is known for and managed to fit it into the concept of a boarding school. A lot of the Grand Theft Auto elements remain, but made appropriate for a game about teenagers.

https://gamefaqs1.cbsistatic.com/user_image/9/7/9/AAE4GYAABXpD.jpg

Despite its name, the main character is not really a bully. Jimmy is a tough kid with a bad family life who gets a chance to start over at a new school, Bullworth Academy, which is dominated by a group of bullies. Throughout the game Jimmy is working with various factions within and without the school to improve the culture. It's a surprising good story that manages to elicit empathy for Jimmy and the people that he encounters.

The gameplay involves doing things like attending class and performing tasks to win the trust of other students within the various cliques at the school. Later on, the focus shifts away from class and more to the local town and the people there, and Jimmy also can do jobs for money or participate in activities like bicycle races. A lot of it is familiar if you have played any GTA game; if you misbehave, school staff will chase you, and you can collect various "weapons" like firecrackers, marbles, slingshot... you get the picture. It's a surprisingly robust game with a ton of things to do and I think a lot of care was taken to make the world very lively and dense with content. I really wish that they would do another one of these.

#53. Blitz the League 2 (PS3, 2008)

So I had already written about Blitz and how I love it. Well Blitz the League 2 is perfection. All the over the top tackles and jumps from the original games, but with the violence dialed up to 11 and a story that is so horribly inappropriate. There are trophies for sleeping with 3 hookers or marrying 1. The main draw here for me, beyond the story mode which you can populate with your own roster of created players and design your own jerseys (mine were hot pink, black and neon green, the idea is to blind your opponent) is the injuries. You can target parts of the body on big tackles. So say I hit low, I can snap an ankle or implode a knee. I can sever a spine, or fracture a skull. Or the ultimate one and my favorite. Pop a testicle. It goes into a Mortal Kombat style view of the injuries, its disgusting. I love it. God I love this game. Please bring this series back.

Blitz the league the game...2

68.) Deja Vu (NES, 1990)
https://gamefaqs1.cbsistatic.com/user_image/0/6/5/AAR9yWAABXqZ.jpg

A classic text based adventure game and one of my favorites. It came to my attention via slowbeef way back in the day but I ended up stopping my watch through of him playing it, went to ebay, bought the cart and tried the game for myself and to my surprise - while the text has a real edge to it that it makes it easy to make fun of and be amused by the actual central mystery to this game is worthwhile and good!

You are Ace Harding - or so says your ID - and you wake up with no memory in a bathroom with a dead body in the next room and an enormous woman in the trunk of your car. So the early part of the game is trying to figure out who you are, what even in the broadest sense happened and who the dead guy is and then work from there to try and find who did this to you.

As a result of the amnesia at play the clues all take on a different meaning once your character gets his memory back leading seeming dead ends to open up with new avenues to explore.

All in all, this is a really fun game, especially for how early it came and it mostly holds up even today (aside from the random ways you can die)

67) Snowboard Kids 2 (N64, 1999)
https://gamefaqs1.cbsistatic.com/user_image/0/7/3/AAR9yWAABXqh.jpg

So you would think on the surface of it - that a game about snowboarding that is really just a super specific clone of Mario Kart wouldn't actually be better than Mario Kart but you would be wrong. This game was so damn fun - everyone has their n64 party games they look back on with far too much fondness - Goldeneye for some, maybe Smash or Mario Kart for other - but for me this game was the peak of those days and I have no idea why. I don't even snowboard!
