Glad to see some of the games ive enjoyed are on this list especially Just Cause 2. Had for over a year and im still playing the hell out of it. Just wish a sequel will get announced soon.

I've played a few of these games and wouldn't mind playing the rest. Except for Hannah Montanah though, you'll have to do a bit more convincing if you want me to give that a try!

The top game should have been Earth Defense Force 2017.

Games I thought would be horrid, but turned out to be awesome were, Ride or Die, Rogue Trip, Vigilante 8, Saints Row, Summer Beach Heat Volleyball, Robocop for NES, and Motorstorm: Artic Edge.

I do love me some Just Cause 2 action. The monster truck you can get from the DLC is so epic. If I could only play one game for the rest of forever, it would be Just Cause 2.

hmm, I loved JC2 demo, but I found the full game pretty dull, i guess I played the demo for so long i bored myself of the good stuff, so when i played the full game I just realized the bad. Also,Arkham asylum was an odd one for me, much like bioshock, I enjoyed it for half of it, then I just got bored and didnt finish it.

Great list though I would have loved to have seen Bioshock 2 on here. There was SO much negative response to that game being announced!

If there was a way to layer over the voice acting in JC2, then it would have been a fantastic game. Hell, who cares about accents. Anything that would make it not sound like nails on a chalkboard every time one of the islanders opened their face holes.

Uh, you never played any of the Batman games did you? Spiderman 2 = gaming bliss. Anything before Asylum = crap. And YES I am including Batman NES......that game is still terrible!

Its just the "why it shouldve sucked" said "when it released" but even before it released I could tell it would be better if not more interesting than any spiderman game...or hulk. spiderman 2 was meh.

I do love the LEGO games, and Arkham Asylum was brilliant, even if the 'upgrades' often felt completely unnecessary. I don't see why just Cause 2 is on the list though; That should have been awesome, but it sucked.
