I am pretty lost on that one.

I think that would fall under the remit of the sequel numbers. I'm struggling with this one, to be honest.

Go on then, Skarjo, tell me how I did. There are some stabs in the dark there, to be honest.

Ironically, you've made the hard ones too easy and the easy ones far far far too hard!

Had a quick think about this, also using it to contrast to MCN's answers so we can work out which answers are right/wrong.

1. Dead Rising - 53,594 kills achievement.
2. Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow - Number of pokemon available, and needed in order to fill pokedex.
3. Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - The number of sages.
4. Goldeneye 007 - Archives Invincibility.
5. Tetris - The number of squares comprising each Tetronimo.
6. Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal - Number of available gym badges.
7. Hotel Dusk: Room 215 - Well, it's not a sequel number, is it?
8. Final Fantasy VII - Maximum level a character can level up too.
9. Super Mario 64 - Number of Star chapters per level (I think)
10. Gears of War 2 - Levels in Horde Mode.

OoT Sages for number 3 is a definite then. 1 and 2 are most likely spot-on as well.

I'd guess 7 is Hotel Dusk. I'd do the same as in my earlier post to try to confirm, but I'm not sure how Skarjo will take to dozens of lists each one almost identical to the one before. It's probably the fastest way to make sure, but it might also make this much less fun.

It's a Numbers Game.
