I think this'd be great for people to try out games that other people actually like/d to play (myself included). If you can, try to put at least one 'non-mainstream' game for each console, we all know how good Grand Theft Auto (& etc.) is.

How is this even a question. PS2 is still owning me. I have yet to play gow1, and finish gow2 and those games look sick. Yet to touch Odins Spear, never finished Dark Cloud2 (awesome combat system, I just get distracted by ffxi and stop playing most games due to time), and other games. I haven't even finished GTA san andreas and it's my favorite gta. All the games are darn cheap now too, for all systems actually. It's a good time to pick those up, if you can find a xbox. Xbox, and GC was cut way too early. This new gen came too quick, a game on PS2 end up being darn close in graphics and way more entertaining than pretty much all of the current "Next gen" games (GoW2).

The more popular XBOX games are supported on 360, and they're adding more games to the compatiblity list every couple of months. It's a slow process that I hate, but man it's so worth it. PS2 had sooo many games and they are still churning them out, it's hard to see how anyone could -not- like it. Plus it had TXRO and TXR3, which kicked ass. XBOX has a few handfuls of nice games too, though. And the backward compatibility of them makes it easier to play them on 360 than on the big-darkgreen-box.

PS1
[1] Crash Bandicoot ^.^
[2] Spyro The Dragon
[3] Gran Turismo
[4] Crash Bash, because I always had like 10 friends over to play it after school everyday for like, 2 years ... And we still couldn't complete it. :/

PS2
[1] Jax and Daxter (All 3 and the Racing game - storyline OWNED hard)
[2] Final Fantasy X
[3] (Both) Burnout

RETRO
[1] Pacman
[2] Super Mario World
[3] Duckhunt ^.^

I think that Ehrgeiz was the only fighting game that had Final Fantasy characters in it.

Oh how could I forget. Crash Team Racing1 was(is?) the best cart racing/battle game ever. That's my number 1 ps1 game. It's crazy to play with 4 friends using multi tap. Can't play with a straight face. Also the Super Mario All-stars battle game in the mario 3 start menu is awesome and have the same effect. Only 2 players though, but it's intense and the match can be over quick so waiting your turn isn't so bad.

CTR was the ultimate response to MarioKart64. I loved both of those games ;o but not more than what I put as mine.

PS2:
way too many good games, most i havnt even gotten a chance to play

Me and my sister used to stay up til ungodly hours playing Crash Team Racing ... Me 15 and her 9, and sometimes she'd kick my ass on Crash's sister. So I'd hop on Pinstripe, and blast the fuck out of her.

Puma rocked though. :/

omg have to play again wtf ...

MAN I LOVE CRASH BANDICOOT! And Twinsanity was simply epic for all it's lols (Game was waaaaaaaaaay too easy, bring back what they did with 1 and 2 plz). Like, on the first level, the badger gets up on his hind knees, camera zooms in, and he says "For the passed 10 years I've been marching back and forth, back and forth, ... FOR TEN YEARS!! Well, no more!" And he gets out a bazooka and starts shooting, but it catches and blows up in his face and you get 10 free Wompa Fruit ^.^b Man, I lol'd so hard playing Twinsanity, Vivendi taking the piss out of Naughty Dog was simply awesome.

Though Naughty Dog made epic games (Jax and Daxter they made after they handed Vivendi Crash's rights), Vivendi's are just easy.

I could never hop fast enough to get the TNT off my head in CTR :/
