Mechwarrior 4:Mercenaries
-
Giant robots armed with lasers, missiles, and autocannons? Yes!
This game is still fun to play. With the Mektek fanbase modding it over the span of 9 years, this game is nothing short on content. However, while it is incredibly fun and balanced, it falls short in the "simulator" department which it is supposed to be built for.

Pokemon:Black/White
-
The people saying the 5th generation sucks are living in the past.
This game is the one that captures the concept of Pokemon battling. The storyline is a little odd, it doesn't have the idea of "I wanna be the very best" in it, but the gameplay itself in-battle is entertaining, being a bit more tactical than past games.

Minecraft

8-bit Legos? YEAH!
But seriously, do I need to say anything here? You guys know why this game's great.

Team Fortress 2
-
HATS! Oh, and guns, too.
It's competitive, it's hilarious, it's just plain fun altogether.

The Elder Scrolls 3:Morrowind
-
This is Elder Scrolls done right. Skyrim is dumbed down, Oblivion is generic, Daggerfall is confusing, Arena is simple. You're free to your own opinions, those are mine.
This game is scary. Enemies do not scale to your level, so adventuring is a risky procedure. Not that that's a good idea anyway, you're adventuring into Daedric ruins and volcanic ash storms. Lay around in towns? You're still discriminated against, outlander. This game makes you work to ascend the ranks. It will take you long to complete, but this game provides a respectable challenge that provides a good reward.

Pokemon:FireRed
-
Don't tell me about how the original Red/Blue was far superior to the remakes. I've heard it before, I don't care, and I was busy on the PC until the age where I strayed to handhelds.
But, you guys know the whole thing. The game that focuses on becoming a master, with a little bit of thwarting Team Rocket on the side. I've clocked 500+ hours into this game alone, and it will always be a favorite memory. A remake of a classic, that still has plenty new to do.

Spongebob:Battle for Bikini Bottom
-
"It's based on a kid's show! It has to be terrible!"
Shut up, critics. There's an exception to every rule.
But, wow. Am I the only one who thought this game was amazing? It's like putting Super Mario 64 into the Spongebob World. A nice adventure platformer, and it's not pushover-easy, too. One of few games I completed 100%. It wasn't based off of any particular episode, either, rather, it brought so many elements from the show into the game, but it could serve as a stand-alone awesome game even if there were no TV show to compare it to.

WarioLand 4
-
The best game on the GBA. Period.
This isn't Mario, this is Wario. You're not some weakling plumber who bounces on heads and throws the occasional fireball just to rescue a princess from a dragon turtle. No, you're a greedy fat man that bludgeons aside everything with the pure force of your body mass and strength. Even then, you have more difficult challenges to fight. You travel to a recently discovered pyramid in search of treasure, travelling through portals to different worlds, grabbing coins, gems, keys, and dashing out before the place blows up. Oh, and the princess you save is just a little bonus on the side. You're here for money.

Sonic Adventure 2:Battle
-
I already see this is on many lists so far. Again, I don't care what the nostalgians have to say, Sonic Adventure 2 is great. The levels are entertaining, there's a few challenges to boost the replay value, but the selling point? Yeah, we all know what it is.
Those adorable little buggers known as Chao.
I believe that's the reason why people love this game. Interactive animals you raise into many different varieties, let them play, let them relax, let them evolve, let them compete. Only one game do I love more...

Mechwarrior 3
-
HO-LEE-SHIT. This game breaks boundaries on the concept of amazement. This is the truest of any mech combat simulator in existence.
The campaign is challenging. You travel to a planet to clean up the remnants of a hostile and violent civilization after their gradual defeat from years before. They're holding their ground, and you're going in to take them out. There's a problem, though. You're shot down and have to begin a guerrilla-commando operation alone. As you fight, you gradually destroy factories, communication systems, mop up the remaining forces of your enemy, and reunite with your group of Mechwarriors as the campaign drags on. The final fight is a 4-on-4 match to secure the only escape shuttle off that planet.
The combat is fast paced, depsite piloting lumbering 30-100 ton 'Mechs. Your weapons' recoil shifts your torso around, and it is also shaken but impact from your enemies' weapons. If a stray shot hits your cockpit, your windshield cracks. As you take damage, your HUD fizzles and becomes harder to read. These 'Mechs you can outfit with so many weapons and electronics. Multiplayer is even an option, but sadly, being a '99 game, it's quite clunky. Altogether, it is the best game I've played, and I think that it can be dethroned only by another Mechwarrior game.
Oh, and it has the best intro ever.
Even better than Sonic Riders, Rsmv.
(sorry about the size, but this image is too epic to ignore)
