Yoshi's Story (63%): Great art design, imaginative enemies, and a final song that gets me every time. Loved by those who didn't call themselves game reviewers.
Cruis'n USA (52%): Even if there were no cows, I loved this game. I still remember loving and cherishing this game 'til its dying day. Also, bonus points for World and Exotica.
Altered Beast (70%): Yeah, I was young, I was foolish. But I loved this game. Nothing better than turning into a were-wolf... dragon... bear... tiger... awesome.
Sonic and the Secret Rings (70%): I thought it was a step in the right direction. No more unnecessary side kicks (Please Sonic Team, no more hedgehogs), no more ridiculous "epic" stories (ok... this one had pinky promises... pretty cringe worthy...) and the focus was on the speed. This title definitely had some moments of greatness, but they were bogged down by little quirks (RPG elements...for better control...wha?). If Sonic Unleashed takes what made this title great... and ignores what made it stumble... we could find ourselves with a 3D title worthy of the Sonic name.
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (78%): A game that was written down because it was "too hard" (laff laff laff). It had an excellent story, lovable and complex character that you actually cared for (Ilyana and Jill, I wub joo!), and a battle system that never lost its luster and kept things exciting. This game was really fun and rewarding, I'd definitely put this above Path of Radiance, if only for the fact that you played as the Black Knight. Epic win.
