Colony Wars: Red Sun - Improved over the previous two in all ways. I don't care what anybody thinks. Just beat it again a week ago.
Duke Nukem: Time to Kill - Put up with the frame rate and you'll find great level design and typical golden Duke-humor.
Front Mission 3 - Seriously impressive battles. Makes up for lack of tactical depth with a brilliant virtual internet system, and worthwhile mech customization.
Ghost in the Shell - You never leave the Fuchikoma, so thank god it's so fun to pilot. Crawl any surface, decimate all enemies, while listening to some pretty good beats.
Jumping Flash 1 - First person shooter with spring loaded, mile high, triple jumping alongside adorable design and music.
Rogue Trip - The team behind Twisted Metal 1 and 2 kept hold of their great gameplay and dark style, and then upped the insanity dosage.
Syphon Filter 1 - First awesome use of the taser. Gameplay was also highly fluid and responsive, for it's time. Later installments just seemed to lack a certain charm...
Tales of Destiny 2 (Eternia) - Remains the peak of the series. This was the one that got everything right, everything except making a profit that is...

I really want JF 1 and 2 and Tail Concerto for my PS1 collection (and Tomba... but that aint happening).
And as for Syphon Filter: toasty baddies FTW.
Guardian Heroes (Saturn)
- The best beat-em-up to date
Spawn: In the Demon's Hand (Dreamcast)
- wow, this game just kciked more ass then I can say. the four player mode was awesome. This is the first time i've ever seen melee and ranged weapons balanced perfictally.
River City Randsom (NES)
- I probbaly am painting my self into a cornor as a beat-em-up fan, but sorry guys, I still bust out this old NES game and knock arround with it.
Dark Earth (PC)
- This is actually an old school PC adventure game. It's kind of a Resident Evil style game set in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world.

Ooh.
No one picked the real hidden gems...
Strider 2 -- Unprecedented 2D action.
Skullmonkeys -- The spirtual successor to Eartworm Jim from its creator, Doug TeNapel.
Silent Bomber -- If this isn't the best 3D action game on the Playstation, then it's without a doubt the top candidate. Of course, no one played it.

oo! I forgot to mention Silent Bomber! Excellent title. Skullmonkys, and Strider 2 aren't too rare; my local blockbusters used to carry them.
