Braid deserves to be on the top ten games of all time, bar-none.

Other than that, my list would include Earth Defense Force 2017, The Darkness, and a laundry list of near-ignored Wii games (Mercury Meltdown, Kororinpa, Excite Truck, Toki Tori, de Blob, Blast Works, and House of the Dead 2 & 3 are the ones that come to mind at the moment.)

Those four games all got good reviews so I don't agree with you there. I Haven't played any of the other games, but I would probably agree with Excite Truck.

 

Thing is, they deserved better than the 77-80% average they got. Reading over the reviews for those games, it seems like they all suffer from the, "Ohmigod this game is great! It has very few flaws, even! *gives game a 7*" phenomenon that's rampant among Wii game reviews.

 

I don't know. I have Mercury Meltdown and played the others, but I think a 80 is fair for them. Maybe 1-2 sites underscored them, but overall I feel their metacritic score is fair. Maybe a tiny on the low side, but not unreasonable.
