Just list the games you think are substance over style and style over substance.

I'll start with mine: {Note that this list will have controversial picks}

Substance over style:

• Virtua Fighter series
• Fallout 1 & 2
• Half-Life 1 & 2
• StarCraft
• LittleBigPlanet
• Crysis {Behind the pretty graphics is a deep emergent game}
• Final Fantasy IV & VI
• Halo Combat Evolved & Halo 3
• Grand Theft Auto IV
• Street Fighter III 3rd Strike
• Spliner Cell Chaos Theory
• Deus Ex & System Shock 2
• Persona 3 & 4

Style over substance:

• Dead or Alive series
• Doom 3
• Black
• Devil May Cry 2 & 4 {1 & 3 are really good}
• Madworld {Decent game though}
• Final Fantasy VII & VIII {Oh man, the flames are a coming}
• TimeSplitters series {Yup, I'm definitely going to be flamed
• Saints Row 2
• 75% of JRPGs out in the market
• Max Payne series {But it's style over substance in a very good way, it's fun!}
• Call of Duty 4 Modern Wafare {Now I'm really, really going to be flamed}

You actually know your shit. I disagree with some stuff but 95% bang on...

what's the different between style and subtance? I have to disagree about FFVII

Games that focus more on flassly visuals, cheap gameplay gimmicks, and focus more on dumb hokey storytelling than core gameplay...... like Call of Duty 4.
