Believe it or not, Simpsons: Road Rage. It was a buggy Crazy Taxi knockoff but the Simpsons theme was fun and the two player mode was vey popular in my house. It probably deserved to be More recently, maybe Super Toy Cars? It is no Mario Kart or MicroMachines, but for 8 dollars it scratches the racing itch pretty well.

Really good choice! I played a lot of Road Rage on GCN. Definitely a clone but one with a pretty fun gameplay loop and lots of Simpsons fan service :)

Holy shit!! Someone else played devils dice! In my opinion one of the most overlooked games. And one of my favourites. A great concept perfected in gameplay. 

One of my favourite games of all time, definitely in my top 10. Yet weirdly I never played Bombastic on PS2.

Never even heard of the game.but now im gonna find it somewhere and need to play it! Thx for the tip.



Haven't given this too much thought, but there's an indie game that's highly inspired by Binding of Isaac called "Our Darker Purpose" which I absolutely love, and have put almost 100 hours in. Metacritic is 74.

I also really loved Lost Kingdoms and Lost Kingdoms II for GCN (the latter got a 68%).





Around the Network

Started hunting around my top rated games on my GameFAQs list. Among my 5/5 star games, I found Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition and Super Smash Bros. (N64).

Super Mario All-Stars has a 70 on Metacritic. Mostly because it is no different than the Super Nintendo version. But it is still a collection of some of the best platformers ever made, so that is bullshit.

Super Smash Bros. (N64) has a 79 on Metacritic. Mostly because there are only 11 reviews, and someone named Electric Playground only gave it a 20/100. So really just a bullshit aggregate.

Baten Kaitos Origins is my favorite game of all time and it's only rated 75. Deserves much higher.



Recore. was the reason for me to buy a Xbox One.
63 in Metacritic. 75 for me. The Definitive edition deserve 80 in mi opinion.
Great control,exploration and ideas (some not very well executed) is the closer we had to a 3rd Person Metroid game.
with better engine and budget a secuel will be great.

Sorry for my bad english

The Legend of Dragoon (meta 74). To this day it's my second favourite game ever made so this one's a very easy choice for me.

I had a different game in mind, but when seeing that LOD was only a 74 this takes the cake. One of the best RPGs ever made. How does this just have a 74
