The general concept of the Boktai series, for the Game Boy Advance.

It is a vampire shooting game by the amazing Hideo Kojima. You charge up your ray gun with the solar panel that sticks out of the cartridge. No UV rays, no ammo.

Wasn't there a DS game with a puzzle that required you to close the system to bring the two screens together?

I heard that Shadow Man pulls some "Eternal Darkness"-like tricks.

There were 2, Hotel Dusk and TLOZ: Phantom Hourglass.

I can think of at least 3. Another Code, Phantom Hourglass and TWEWY.

Someone should make a game that sends solutions to puzzles via subliminal messages that would appear in your dreams while sleeping. I'm sure it'd be illegal on many many levels.

Everyone always thinks of MGS 1 as the crazy one, but I think MGS 2 takes the cake:

"I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm, in flap-jaw space, with the tuning fork, does a raw blink on Hiri-Kiri rock! I need scissors! 61!"

"I was a North American Fall Webworm in my past life. Those were the good old days... What were you in your former life?"

I know this isnt the game messing with you, but back when I first played Half Life 2, I was in a long session, really into it, and one of those zombie guys with the spiders all over him comes over a hill. As soon as i see him throw a spider at me, I ducked in my computer chair. I then saved and took a break lol.
