Dead Or Alive Extreme 2. ........ Please don't judge me. I picked this up cheap as an afterthought (cause I love niche games) after scoring Halo 3 new at 70% off at the local boxing day sales and have played it more than I have Halo 3 at this point. Also agree on Super Tennis. Never been a tennis game that's topped it IMHO.

Warlocked-A game that proved an RTS could work on the GBC.
Army Men RTS-The AM game that should've been made to begin with.
Sonic 3D Blast-Shouldn't be judged by comparing it to other Sonic games.

Shame it's butchered if you play it on the 360 (no music, 480p) so I have to play it on my big black box which is going to explode any day now Mainly I love this game because I love the Lovecraft stories and before it turned in to a FPS game it was awesome exploring Innsmouth knowing that all shit is going to break loose soon enough. I actually only recently bought it for £15 about two months ago because of a vid Spoony did and he said it was worth while playing it. There are some really great games from the past generations, nothing from this generation has been earth shattering, not even in leaps in graphics or controls (I hate the Wii).

But what made this game really cool was you could put in your own cd's and play vib ribbon to your favourite soundtracks. Here is an example with System of a Downs "Zelda theme" Which goes to show that there's no technological reason why you shouldn't be able to use your own music for games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, but being forced to buy additional tracks is too big a cash cow. I'd say that this shows why you CAN'T use your own music in these games, as even this simplistic one has the movements in the wrong places, barely corresponding to the music. ...and I LOVE Vib Ribbon, just for the record.

This one may seem strange but NASCAR Rumble. 1 part NASCAR. 1 part Need for Speed. 1 part Mario Kart. 3 parts pure awesome! Yeah I mentioned Rumble Racing in my picks, it was essentially the same thing sans the NASCAR license, that was a fun game. Me and a friend used to have a blast playing it. And hey, I liked FFX-2 as well.

Released in 2000 on the PS2, had AMAZING graphics for that time frame in my opinion and an alright plot (if you don't mind long-winded cutscenes). I don't much like SquareSoft, but this beat 'em up game is probably one of my favourite games of all time. Starfighter 3000 for Sega Saturn has absolutely trippy music and I loved playing it even though I kept nosediving into the ground and dying. It was just so cool to explode.

I wouldn't place it as one of my absolute favourites of all time, but it is incredibly fun. I just beat it for the first time since it came out a couple of weeks back, and I had a blast with it. Yeah, it's really short...but still so much fun, and the story is kinda neat.

Ten Pin Alley on the Sega Saturn - Before Wii Sports Bowling, there was no greater bowling party game out there. It was 100% pure fun.
Beyond Oasis (Genesis) and Landstalker (Genesis) - both were both cool little RPG games on the Genesis, which filled the void that Zelda couldn't fill.
Sega Sports Jam (Dreamcast) - This was another cool sports-themed party games. You'd have to do stuff like kick a field goal at a certain distance, but everything was timed button pressing. It was all short and fast-paced fun.

Alright, another from me!
Skygunner is a seriously underrated and underknown game on the PS2. Awesome little shooter whose only flaw I can really think of is that it has an asston of slowdown at times. And it's a little short. But seriously, SO much fun.

This was the two page ad in EGM. This game kicked so much ass.

Jet Force Gemini on N64 and Legend of Dragoon on PS1.LOD was the first real RPG that I had ever really played,and I never got the big deal about the Final Fantasy series once I tried those.

I second Full Throttle, The Bouncer, Call Of Chluthu: Dark Corners Of The Earth and FF X-2 from earlier.
I also want to add:
Pitfall 3D for PSX (Bruce Campbell as Harry is awesome) Shining Force: NEO for PS2 Legend Of Legia for PSX Legia 2 for PS2 Jet X20 for PS2 (cool Jet Moto type water racing game) Brunswick Bowling for PS2 The Thing for PS2 Galerians for PSX Galerians: Ash for PS2 Head Hunter for PS2 Psy-Ops for PS2
Thats all I can think of for now.

I would've agreed, but I got it back a couple of months ago and it's seems to have aged horribly, for me. I used to love it, too.

Got to go with Mischief Makers for the N64.
I think this game is begging for a remake of some sort on the Wii. Shake the Wii-mote and Marina shakes the Clancers at various speeds. License to print money and fry gold!

Rocky Rodent for the SNES. A hell of a game, imo. I put in countless hours on it after picking it up for $15 from a rental store for my birthday one year. I mean a rat fighting guys with his hair? BRILLIANT! BioMenace. Based on Commander Keen's engine. The demo I had of this entertained me forever until my dad's friend bought the disc after watching me play it and duped me a copy. I guess this counts: Tokyo Xtreme Racer, Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2, Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Zero, and Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3. Hell yeah. My friend had the first two for his DC and they were a blast to play. They stood up racing wise to franchises like Gran Turismo, PGR and Forza easily, imo. Something that would have made me ecstatic but never happened was the sequel to Puggsy. I guess the appreciation it had for it wasn't enough. I really need to get around to hooking up my Genesis and playing this. I bought it for $1.
