Viva Pinata - A true Rare classic. One of their best E-rated titles, ever. Sales were poor (but did decent), but reviewers were real lukewarm. Reviewers had it in the 83-85% range, but this game is better than Sim City and Banjo Kazooie. Go check out the VP thread at NeoGAF - everyone that bought it, loved it (even Bill Gate's daughter)
Dead Rising - Yes, the save feature was gimped, but outside of that, ultra-innovative and near perfect. Despite this, it was still a middle-of-the-road score of 85%.

The fact that 85% is considered "lukewarm" is enough to prove to me there's something seriously wrong with the game review system.
