Sonic Colours
If you enjoyed Sonic Unleashed's day stages, you will fall in love with Sonic Colors.
Sonic has had quite a rough history for the past ten years. Sonic's transition to 3-D started out successfully enough with Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. Sonic Heroes is sighted as the last of the good (for some ... Read Full Review

Metroid: Other M
Not quite the 3-D Metroid experience one may hope for, but it is a worhty addition to the series nonetheless.
Samus' transition into the world of 3-D was a tremendous success thanks to the critically acclaimed Metroid Prime games. But the people at Nintendo decided to try something different for Samus' next 3-D adventure. With a... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire
It captures the feel of the movies, but SOTE's gameplay issues and difficulty keep it from being total greatness.
When it comes to video game adaptations of movies, the majority are absolute crap. However, there do exist a select few that not only stay true to the source material, but they actually manage to be fun in the process. T... Read Full Review

Super Mario Bros. 3
SMB3 helped to re-revolutionize platforming, and to this day it remains one of the very best in the series.
When Super Mario Bros. was first released back in 1985 it became a colossal hit and recaptured peoples interest in video games. After that came a hard as all hell sequel in Japan known later in the U.S. and Europe as "Th... Read Full Review

Super Mario Galaxy
When it comes to quality platformers, SMG remains a must-play.

Raiden III
It's not different from many other shooters before it, but it is still challenging and fun.
There are three genres I enjoy the most: Platformers, action/adventure, and shoot-'em ups. Shoot-'em ups have always been a favorite of mine since the days of arcades and it is nice to see that the genre still holds up t... Read Full Review

Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires
The latest installment in the on-going series still shows to bring good old button-mashing fun despite technical issues.
I have been a fan of the Dynasty Warriors series for many years now. I have always been a fan of hack-and-slash games and beat-'em ups, and this series certainly doesn't disappoint in that perspective. While the series d... Read Full Review

Jak X: Combat Racing
Jak X not only proves to be a great combat racer, but actually manages to be a great departure from the series.
Naughty Dog struck big with their biggest franchise yet, Jak and Daxter. These are three of some of the best platformers you can get for the PS2, and simply some of the best period. In 2005 Naughty Dog decided to create ... Read Full Review

Kisuishou Densetsu Astal
Astal is another one of those undiscovered gems that one ought to look into.
At a time where 3-D was becoming more and more popular, 2-D platformers were slowly, but surely, losing popularity. Astal is one of those 2-D platformers that unfortunately came out at the wrong time. It's a shame that t... Read Full Review

Sonic the Hedgehog 3
This, combined with Sonic & Knuckles, is the best classic Sonic game of all time.
After two amazing releases on the Genesis and several successful portable titles on the Game Gear, Sonic the Hedgehog went on to become one of the biggest video game stars in the world. In 1994 Sega outdid themselves aga... Read Full Review

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
Despite difficulty spikes early on this is still a rather addictive puzzle game.
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is set up to what many American gamers see as something similar to Tetris. But in actuality this was the very first westernized version of Puyo Puyo, a popular Japanese puzzle game (that ... Read Full Review

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (Limited Edition)
Like Metroid Prime, pre-skepticism didn't stop this addition to the series from becoming total greatness.
The massive success of both the Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask only made fans crave even more for a new game to be released on Nintendo's upcoming console. In 2000 Nintendo showed tech demos of their latest project to... Read Full Review

Top Gun
Even for being an early flight simulator it could have done a lot better.
Top Gun is another one of those movies that game developers thought would be a good idea to turn into a video game. It was developed by Konami of all companies. They may have struck big with Castlevania, but for this gam... Read Full Review

Juuouki
A little slower than most beat-'em ups, but still a challenging and pretty good launch title for the Genesis.
After the dreaded Video Game Crash of 1983, Nintendo came and made a daring move to the U.S. to introduce a new video game system. After some criticism by retailers and some consumers Nintendo eventually released their N... Read Full Review

Perfect Dark
Perfect Dark improves upon the core Goldeneye gameplay and makes it a must own for the N64.
Goldeney 007 lived on to become one of the most influential games ever created. It broke the curse of console shooters, which before were considered lackluster ports of PC classics, and helped to create a much different ... Read Full Review

Shaq-Fu
The concept is moronic enough, but the broken gameplay adds insult to injury.

BioHazard 4
RE4 shows to be a step forward for the series and a tremendous achievement from Capcom.
Before 2005, when one thinks of the Resident Evil series they see tank controls, slow disgruntled zombies, and cheesy voice acting. But all of that quickly changed when Resident Evil 4 was released to universal acclaim. ... Read Full Review

Metroid
Samus' first adventure has a few hiccups, but it is ultimately a satisfying adventure.

Akumajou Dracula
Much improved controls and better overall challenge make this the best game in the classic Castlevania series.

F-Zero
F-Zero paved the way for revolutionary graphics and influencing other racers since then.

Final Fantasy VIII (Platinum)
While a decent entry into the series, I don't see why it gets such massive amounts of praise.

Metroid Prime
Not only is this perhaps the best Gamecube game, but perhaps the best game in the Metroid series.

Splatterhouse is a brutal, challenging, underrated gem.

Love robots? Have a Saturn? Got an extra friend? Then consider picking this up for at least a rental.
