Wow i fell off the wagon on this
45: Sonic Adventure, direct sequel to my number 2 game, this has the same strong Sonic platforming and awesome Knuckles stages, with solid Tails and Amy segments. The others weren't as compelling, and glitchiness was a factor, but still has most of the elements of one of the all-time best games, so gets its spot
44: Pokemon Diamond and Pearl: Gets its relatively higher position because it was the first Pokemon i'd seriously played in 6 years at the time, so had a strong "back in action" feel. A decent postgame, too, though that could have been stronger.
43: Yoshi's Story: Derided for being too easy, but it still has some rough stages, and an interesting score-based system that makes the game infinitely replayable, plus a memorable soundtrack and bizarre enemies.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
