viewtiful joe-its a little hard but fun, the funky art direction and crazy characters make this game a buy.
sonic heroes-i know what your thinking...a sonic game...complete madness...but here me out, the camera's a little wonky and some levels require steady controling, but in the end its really fun and one of the few sonic games that wont make you lash out in anger.
resident evil 4 for the wii-2 words "buy it"
super mario sunshine-i dont understand the hate for the game...i thought it was great and definately showed why nintendo's the best at what they do. the graphics are amazing and show that the gamecube had some serious horsepower. especially when it comes the water effects...this game has some of the most stunning water effects to date. also yoshi makes a return! spoiler: bowser talks...yeah kind of a weird moment....
budokai 2-even if your not a dbz fan you should check this game out, you might be a little lost with the whole dbz storyline and plot, but once you get pass that there's a fun and enjoyable fighter to be found. just like your standard fighter you've got your long range attacks, short range attacks, and etc. but being a dbz game there are also twists to the formula, you can add features to the character you play as( goku, gohan, etc.), some features strengthen your character others can slowly drain your oppenents health down helping you to snag those not so easy victories. The AI's pretty good and there are some destructable areas,the music is definately fun and catchy fitting the spirit of the anime perfectly (though if your a purist and want the japanese tracks you'll have to go to the tenki'ichi part of the series for that). Yes, i am a fan of the series but i definately know a good game when i see one.
Super smash bros. melee-yeah just buy it
Mario kart double dash-rent it, its a really solid game but it seems that either they have cranked up the difficulty in this game or something is seriously wrong with my mario kart skills. being a veteran of the mk64 version i thought i'd have no problem with this game. well i got knocked down a few pegs and it was not fun. it seemes the skills you picked up from mk64 are going to need a serious overhaul, so expect a few last place finishes the first couple of times. but as time goes on you'll get the hang of it and have a good time with it.
well i guess that's it for now...
