Other than the obvious choices, I really liked Gunhound EX. It's a more modern take on Cybernator/Assault Suits Valken. It's a bit too short though.

Gigantic Army is in that same vein as well but the gameplay is a bit slower and more deliberate and it's not quite as polished an experience.

I really liked Thomas Was Alone. :D I like how it made me care about simple shapes. xD

Yeah it's awesome so glad I nabbed it as a freebie from PS+ otherwise I would have probably never played it.

Lol, i nabbed it from the $1 sale, and it was a toss up purchase between that or Wild ARMS.

I think i picked well. :D

Well, if we're not staying focused on action platform games like I thought we were supposed to, I gotta throw in some beat 'em ups...

There are some great recommendations here. I will add VVVVVV. It is pretty much the best C64 game, and I loved it.
