If it weren't for the awful camera on this game, I'd consider this one of the best 3D action games of its era. Really, it still is. I love the level design in this game, I guess I'm a sucker for "you're tiny, so everything else is huge" platformers.

Many have said this game hasn't aged well, and I would agree. That said, it's still pretty fun to play, despite its often frustrating level design and gameplay mechanics.

This game still plays well to this day. I went back recently and did another playthrough, and I was amazed by just how well each level was designed. Everyone hates the treasure hunting levels and the shooting levels, but if you take the time to improve at playing them, you find they make great escapes from your usual platforming stages.

This could have been Sega's answer to Smash if the Dreamcast had survived. A fun party fighter that's perfect for casual or expert players.
This is a Marvel fan service beat 'em up done right. Not much substance to it, but there doesn't need to be. It's just pure fun.
(This review is also applicable to Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Crystal)
The Johto and Kanto experience is one unlike any other. I love the selection of Pokemon here, and though there are some valid complaints like the level curve and some new Pokemon being unavailable until Kanto, they don't really hamper the experience any.
If you want to play through the Johto games, Crystal is recommended as it includes some new story elements, but even more recommended are Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

To me, this is the ultimate AKI wrestling game, since I never really cared about story mode anyway (and I haven't had the chance to play VPW2 yet). The roster is gigantic and the title modes are a blast.

Can you tell I'm a wrestling fan?
I didn't get into this one as much as I did WCW/NWO Revenge, but one thing this game has over that one is its career mode. Of course the AKI gameplay is still here and better than ever, so I highly recommend this one.

There's no better story mode in a WWE game than this one, and arguably one of the best rosters of all-time too. For that alone, as well as the difficult but wildly fun play style, pick this up. You gotta make Goldust World Heavyweight Champion at least once in your life.
For creative aspects alone, this game is a must-own if you're a pro wrestling fan. That said, the actual gameplay is excellent, and is reliant more on the timing of you button presses than arcade-style mashing. No, it's FULLY reliant on timing. Timing is EVERYTHING. If you don't learn to play this game properly, you will not have fun, so fair warning on that. Otherwise, if you do, prepare to have some of the funnest pro wrestling matches you've ever had in a video game.

This game really builds upon the original in much needed ways. A far longer experience with a gripping story that provides backstory to Aperture Labs. And the puzzles here are spectacular.

This is a triumph
A really, really short game that everyone should play at least once. Everyone loves GLaDOS.

For many of us, we have a game that's a black sheep of the series that we absolutely adore that others may look upon and deride. Looking from the outside, I see those that love Zelda II, and while I think it's a crock of crap, those that are passionate about it are VERY passionate about it. I guess I'm the same way about this game.
That said, I don't think this game really has any flaws to speak of. The soundtrack is catchy. The hit detection is on point. The level design can make a quest difficult, but not unfair. And the bosses, while there are a couple repeats, are fun to tackle.
This to me stands up to Super Mario World and Super Mario 3 as the greatest games in the series, but I may be a minority in that, given how different this title plays.

These days, the only way to really play New Vegas is on PC with stability and extra memory mods installed to keep it steady. But once you have that set up, you have a game with a desolate but captivating landscape, a cast of hilarious characters, and the adventure of a lifetime. I recommend this to anyone that is a fan of adventure games.
This is the best way to play Ocarina of Time.
