A few missed gems:Psychonauts (XBOX,PS2,PC) - You'll want to play it to the end just to milk it for funny dialog. Also you'll play through a level as a 50-foot giant terrorizing a city of lungfish. Another level you fake out secret agents by grabbing some flowers and pretending to be a grieving widow. Another level looks like a blacklight-lit velvet painting. Every level is almost completely different.Einhänder (PS1)- Side-scrolling 3D shooter from Square. You start out invading the Earth. By the end you're deemed a traitor and your own forces are against you. Might need cheat device to finish it, though.Guardian Heroes (Saturn) - Side-scrolling beat-em-up with numerous branching paths which unfold a very complex story. Almost every enemy you meet is also playable in a 6-player free-for-all battle mode.Okami (PS2, Wii)- Not just a pretty face. The quest rivals that of Ocarina of Time.Tomba! (PS1)- Side-scrolling platform game made up almost entirely of little side-quests. From the creator of Ghosts N Goblins.I agree with most on the list that I've played. The only one I disagree with is Tony Hawk 2 and only because TH Underground is the pinnacle of the series for me. If you beat it twice the ending is even more satisfying.
