Animal Crossing. I know there are plenty of people who do like the game but there are many who don't. "I don't want to do my own chores so why would I want to do them in a video game?" Which I guess I can understand, but that game did so many unique things it was too interesting to pass up.

For me I gotta say it's Shenmue. Whenever Shenmue is played by my friends they've all hated it and called it slow , boring and feeling like it's going nowhere. Which is always followed by the line "besides why would you play something that there may never be an end to?"

Well I don't care it's one of my favourite games.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes it. I just know that every review I read is pretty unhappy with it.

I still have a soft spot for Dynowarz on NES. I think it's the first game that I really sat down for a few days and played through until I beat it.

I have always felt that 2020 Super Baseball was like an arcade form of Basewars, just less robots and fighting.

Yeah, but depending on your tastes, that can be a good thing. I was a huge baseball fan, so I liked more of the focus on the game and the human players had some advantages over the bots. I thought it was a good balance.

I love the BARBIE GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol Im just kidding but definitely I got some of you guys thinking if they are worth a try
:P

Well the two gungrave games. All my friends tell me thats just repetitive always doing the same but I dont know I love thos games and the anime is even much better. They are stress releving.

On the nes I remembered I played dash galaxy everybody thought that was a piece of crap but I like it.

Oh and I know Mozguz gona hate this one...

BALLZ!!!!!!! on the genesis I like that game I think I got used to the controls and the camera and I still play with it.

Oh and I forgot super baseball 2020 its awesome I like the thing that theres a homerun zone and the snapshots when you jump and catch the ball.

On the snes Secret of Evermore you aint gonna believe but I actually liked the story.

Never even played it, so I can't hate it.

Dragonheart (Saturn) - Nowadays I realise it sucks, but back in the days when I was a kid I loved this game. Got horrible reviews, though...

The Punisher (PC) - Great action game, although everyone else seems to say it sucks

Finding Nemo and Madagascar (PC) - Two cute kids games. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, an 18 year old guy playing kids stuff, but they're great fun. :P

Sensible Soccer 2006 (PS2) - All my PES-addicted friends make fun of me for liking this game (the bastards...)

The Katamari series (PS2) - Do I really need to explain?...

Locoroco (PSP) - Same thing...
