Sonic was an oversight, I agree. Also, there should be something from the "Metroid" series on there. And I would add a game from the Wii.

Yeah, Wii Sports needs to be on there. Simple game that's just way too much fun.

For Genesis, I dont think you can leave Madden Pro Football off. Without it, where would we be today?

Mario Party should also be added for N64 and Wii

MLB 08 and 09 The Show for PS3 are much better than Madden 09. So is NHL 09.

MVP 05 for XBOX was great and so was MVP 06 College Baseball. MVP 05 is still considered by many to be the best baseball game ever.

NHL '94 for the Genesis and Super Tecmo Bowl for the NES were classics to me...

True. True, true, true.

And I hate the fact that I have a 360 and I can't play a decent baseball game! Curse you, 2K Sports!

Completely agree. Also recommend Little League World Series and Sid Meier's Pirates! for the NES.

I still crank up the old N64 for Goldeneye.

SW: KOTOR and KOTOR 2 for the Xbox are pretty much equal in my opinion.

Also Wing Commander for the 3DO. (yeah, I'm like one of 3 people who had a 3DO)

Is this mercy-killing or cross-pollenation?

Harvest Moon - 64
PoKeMon
Iggy's Reckin' Balls - 64
Civ IV
College Hoops 2K8 - 360

SNES Classic- Gemfire. Only like 5000 copies made, possibly the best war strategy of its time.

How has no one mentioned the Tiger Woods series? That is one of the most addicting games I've ever played.

I never played it til 05 on the original XBox. I've had that version and 08 for 360 and both were great.
