not necessarily the game/s that are critically high-rated games...

ok, so in your opinion, what game/s(any gen) that you think is/could be/could still be a very good VG experience for other "unaware" gamers? Simply put, the "must-play" experience/s?

Links and images will be much appreciated. :D

i'll start with one:

Puzzle league

The game is really fun, it may be hard if you hate Pokemon, but the 2P battles are among the best.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night. I remember some of my friends putting the game down because it was 2D. I don't feel sorry for them missing out on this gem at all.

If you are a fanboy: Fully finish a beloved user acclaimed game (not critically) on a competing system.

If you base what you play on scores: One of the games that scored 6.0 or below that you always wanted to try but never gave a shot because of the reviews.

Anyone else: Play what interests you for the right reasons.

I totally agree with Super Mario World 2. Its totally different than the first one but I think its easily one of the best platformers ever made.

---

----

This game sold moderately well but it should have been huge. For me, its easily the best 360 game and possibly the best game this gen. I think if it had more decapitations, people would have gravitated to it more.

--

A bit obvious, but a fun game none the less. I think the modern gamer's head would explode if they played this game and discovered that non-shooters could be fun as well.

Can't agree more. If you don't like Metroid, or haven't played any Metroid before, this will make you like Metroid.

I think everyone should play these games (Yes, I like Role-Playing games)

My favorite game of all-time.

One of the best games on the Gamecube.

Considered by many to be the greatest game of all-time. Now that it's on the DS, there's no excuse not to play it.

He's right, there's no must play, being here in SW should have shown us that since any game gets hated here or at least some won't like

Yeah, WOTL has to be hands down the best port job SE has ever done in recent years. And plus, it retails for $20 now so it's practically a steal.

Oh yeah. I forgot I mentioned the game before to you. Have you played it yet?

I am like 26 hours into it and I have only done the first 8 story battles. My characters are all mid 30s and growing strong. I love, love level grinding, and FFT is one of the better games for it, IMO. It is also miles above the PSOne original in terms of cohesive story and the cutscenes are gorgeous. SE definitely won some love from me with this remake.

My suggestions, and these are not spoilers, when you can start moving between a few cities, start random battles by moving between green dots. Being a few levels ahead of the story battles is a big help (I am something like 30 levels ahead because I just like grinding). Have fun! Let me know if you like it though.
