Never played the original, but found this one incredibly fun with an absolutely gorgeous and colorful look with lots of life to it. The camera on occasion became a pain to deal with since it stayed locked in place in really inconvenient locations, leading to some horribly annoying gameplay moments. The gameplay could feel repetitive at times, but it was easy to enjoy the world of SpongeBob and the humor and joy that comes with it (aside from the HORRENDOUS voice acting for Mermaidman)

One of the most ridiculously fun FPS games I've ever played, this has been a personal favorite for so many years. The level designs are great and have a nice bit of variety to them. The game is appropriately challenging (almost impossibly so during some levels) and creates such an engaging environment with the great sound design and score. The dam level still stresses me out like no other level.

Perhaps my all-time favorite game, Call of Duty 2 was the first game I ever beat on its toughest difficulty. The gameplay of it is so much fun that I find it so ridiculously replayable. Not a single level or moment feels like a waste of time, each throwing you into an exhilarating and often loud environment that never ceases to thrill. Pointe du Hoc is still perhaps one of the greatest levels in the Call of Duty franchise.

Absolutely adore the world of Mass Effect. The main story missions are as great as ever. The side missions and the environments within them can become super repetitive, particularly any one of them involving the clunky vehicle, the Mako. Thankfully those missions didn't make it into the following games.

Doesn't hit the nail on the head quite like Mass Effect 2, but that doesn't make this game any less fantastic. Still fantastic gameplay, even though the "building the army" mechanic could probably have some more complexity to it to make it more interesting. Great story, great gameplay and absolutely gorgeous.
2010
Probably the single greatest game I've ever played. Took some time for me to really get back into it after not playing for several months, but once I was back in, I was absolutely hooked and got completely lost in the incredible and gorgeous world. The most emotionally invested I maybe have ever been in a video game.
