For me, its dragonball z budokai 3, I LOVED this game as a kid, spent hours of playing, then 5 years later i pick it up again and its just repetitive fighting where you can win by just spamming the finishing move over and over.

5. Burnout 3 Takedown - Now usually I don't like racers, but DAMN is this game fun. When you take someone out you can't help but say "Take that, bitch" inside your head. It also helps that this game has one of the best soundtracks I've ever listened to, it really fits the action-packed races and I've even gone and bought a few of the bands albums because of this game. The announcer, Striker, also adds to the game, which is something I never thought I would really notice, but he's full of energy and it actually sounds like he's an announcer, not someone who's reading a script in front of a microphone. The Crash Mode is also fun as hell, who doesn't love just ramming into oncoming traffic and just watching the cars pile up? The only real problem I have with this game is the US Circuit Racer, that thing is a BITCH to drive and no fun at all, but that's okay, since you're not REALLY forced to drive it, only on a few missions.

4. Super Mario Bros. 2 - Very first game I ever played, and what a first game. It may be the forgotten title among the Mario series, but it's still my very favorite of the series to this day, and it had the first inclusion of Luigi in it, who happens to be my favorite mario character.

3. Super Smash Bros. Brawl - I have put countless hours into this game, and it still never gets old, every character is perfectly balanced and unique in their own way (although admittedly some are clones of others). The matches never start to get boring, its always different, and there's surefire strategy to win, this is one of the best fighters to date.

2. Okami - Definitely one of the most unique games of its time, no of anytime. Everything is extremely well put together, no power you obtain is level specific, everything remains important throughout the game. Even when the supposed final boss is beaten there is still much to do, in fact, that's only the first half of the game. I am so glad I am one of the few to have bought this game.

1. Resident Evil 4 - You do NOT know how much I love this game, I was literally obsessed with this game for a good portion of my life, for a while, it was all I played. It does such a wonderful job of telling a story, and almost nowhere will you get stuck, the story is always moving forward. It's also very challenging, facing El Gigante the first time was thrilling, especially since I didn't know you could jump on his back, I never wanted to get that close to it to find out. Another thing is that it can also scare the shit out of you very easily, the first time I saw the Regenerators, I wouldn't play the game for a good 3 days before picking it up and trying it again. This is one of the few shooters I own and one of the best, it's my all time favorite game and that will never change.

Hey, Luigi's my best character.

The Predator game for the PS2. I bought this piece of shit and got stuck on the second mission, because the game wouldn't let me do what I wanted to do. Plus it was boring as hell anyway.

its not that you couldn't follow the plot in sarah conner chronicles, its just that it didn't HAVE one. i mean really it was like after a while they just said "fuck, we have so many episodes to make, but we don't know what to do with them, screw it, just make up random shit until the finale".

super mario world, no matter what i'll play this game every year, and beat it all over again, and it never gets boring.

hey, *I* like luigi

@carsonnik, so when you fought a regenerator for the first time, without the infrared scope it didn't scare you?

i was hoping resident evil 4 was gonna be on here, that had a wonderful storyline, one of the few games where i didn't skip the custscenes.

wow, just wow nintendo. can they do anything right anymore?
