Pandora's Tower is a good call; very cool little game, a little rough around the edges but it had real heart.
I'd also give a shout to Mario Kart Wii and Donkey Kong Country Returns. I know a lot of more "core" players don't like how chaotic MKWii is, but once you get a bunch of friends together, it becomes one of the greatest party games of all time. Bonus if there's drinks involved.
DKCR tends to be viewed as just okay by the fanbase, but for my money it's a fantastic 2D platformer with some of the best level designs in the genre.
I also second Excite Truck, that one was a lot of fun.
