So many games, so little time. I have a sizable pile of current gen games still to play and more to buy. So, this list may seem kinda incomplete to some people.
Gamecube
Metroid Prime - I struggled through the game for a long time but one day it just clicked and I have to say it is my favorite Metroid game. Yes, I played and finished Super Metroid.
Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader - Probably the best Star Wars flight game ever made. No, I don't like sims like Tie Fighter.
Super Monkey Ball - I don't know a person who did not simultaneously love and hate this game. Think about that one for a while.
Super Smash Bros. Melee - Ok, I know it is not everyone's cup of tea, but all I have to say is ... Who needs Lipton? The soundtrack alone is worth it. Causing chaos as Pikachu ... Priceless.
PS2
Def Jam Vendetta - Best wrestling game I have ever played. I didn't play the sequel yet. It brought me back to my N64 days with WCW vs NWO Revenge. Memories.
Devil May Cry - Dante. Nuff said.
Final Fantasy X - Ok, who didn't get at least a little emotional when the group was sitting around the campfire before the last summoning. Also, two of the hottest game girls, Yuna and Lulu.
God of War - Kratos made me forget about Dante. Nuff said.
Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec - The first time I played this game ... ... ... Yeah, that was how I was, speechless.
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy - One of the best platformers ever. I still have the next 2 to play.
Max Payne - John Woo action in a game.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - I have the 3rd one in my pile to play so I might like that one more. The intro of this game was real bad, though.
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 - I am old school with my NFS. I played all since the first one and I like the exotic action more. NFS 3 was my favorite with the cop pursuits until this one came out.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - The wall running and acrobatic fighting was onnnn.
Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando - Ah, so many weapons. The miniturret was a personal favorite.
Sly 2: Band of Thieves - I didn't actually play this one. My gf played through it and I watched. The heist action was real cool ... like Ocean's Eleven kinda cool.
Xbox
Burnout 3: Takedown - Best racing game ever. If you never played it, stop what you are doing right now and go find someone who has it and play it. You will spend the night.
Dead or Alive Ultimate - You have to see this game in action to fully appreciate it. Just watch the background in the different stages and you will be amazed. Countering is real nice too.
ESPN NFL 2K5 - Ok. I lived in Florida for a long time and I like football. This is the last game in the 2K series since NFL is now EA only. It was one of the best.
Grand Theft Auto Vice City - The first one was good for what it was. This one totally hooked me. Tommy Vercetti is a bad man.
Halo: Combat Evolved - Best FPS on a console ... for a while. Master Chief is the man.
Halo 2 - I need to get DSL to play on Xbox Live. Still, it was real onnnn.
James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing - Best James Bond atmosphere in a game. Yes, Goldeneye was like crack back in the day but this one had the Bond feeling oozing out all over the place. I mean, you are on the bike and slide under a big truck ... that is just madddd.
The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King - The transitions from the movie to the game are the stuff of legends. Nice beat 'em up action is good too.
NBA Street V3 - I just got this game and it is the best bball I have played since NBA Jam. Yes, that is a big compliment.
OutRun 2 - The original OutRun is one of my all time favorite racing games. This one is even more magically delicious with one hell of a Magical Sound Shower remix.
Project Gotham Racing 2 - I had the original Metropolis Street Racer on DC. Just like that one, this game is a delicate balance of skill and speed.
Soulcalibur II - Yes, I know I should get the Gamecube version to play as Link, but Spawn is a good second. One of the best fighting games you can buy. Plus weapon fighting is just badddd.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - Best Star Wars game ever. Yes, it is that good.
Star Wars: Battlefront - Big battles, Battlefield-style in a Star Wars universe ... It doesn't get any better than this.
Gamecube
Metroid Prime - I struggled through the game for a long time but one day it just clicked and I have to say it is my favorite Metroid game. Yes, I played and finished Super Metroid.
Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader - Probably the best Star Wars flight game ever made. No, I don't like sims like Tie Fighter.
