I actually would have a similar list, and agree with many of these. I'd probably throw Eternal Darkness in there as well.
Regarding Super Paper Mario - I actually did really enjoy this game, loved the platforming style mixed with action/RPG elements, thought the transitioning from 2D to 3D was pretty neat, though I wish you didn't have to use it so much to find everything as it made it a bit repetitive. The thing that REALLY bogged this game down for me was the endless streams of text, most of which was completely uninteresting to read. It was so bad that it managed to drag what could have been one of my favorite games of all time into being merely "good," and that's sort of a tragedy..
Kameo - Ahhh, that last gasp of the GOOD Rare. I remember getting this with my Xbox 360 close to launch and being hypnotized by the vibrant and colorful HD graphics. The game was also a blast to play, if not a bit short. I also ran out and got PDZ shortly thereafter, and enjoyed both games immensely. Little did I know I would never enjoy a Rareware game again after those..
Viewtiful Joe - neat action fighting game that kinda reminded me of Final Fight 2, one of the first SNES games I ever played. Though I'd say this one is more of an excellent rental than a great buy, as it was a bit brief as well and once you beat it I didn't really feeled compelled to go back and play again.
