Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - because it’s literally one of the best games ever made. So good that when it borrowed the Metroid formula pretty much wholesale, they renamed the formula Metroidvania.
Metal Gear Solid - because it sits in the Goldilocks zone of Kojima-ness. Nutty but not impenetrable.
Silent Hill - because everyone should know what it’s like for seventeen pixels to make them shit themselves in fear.
Metal of Honor - because Call of Duty used to be the whippersnapper upstart. Know your roots, son.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 - because there were THPS games with more, but there were never THPS games that were definitively better.
Resident Evil 2 - because hitting your stride while defining a genre is a beautiful thing.
Valkyrie Profile - because the world is ending but I really want this mermaid to be happy…
Fear Effect - because it’s a seven hour game across four CDs but my best friend and I couldn’t put it down until we finished it on day one.
Vigilante 8 - because they out-Twisted-Metaled Twisted Metal.
G-Darius - because sometimes you just gotta blast a giant robot fish in the face with a screen-filling laser beam.
Incredible Crisis - because we all have bad days.
Tenchu - because Solid Snake shouldn’t be the only one who gets to have fun sneaking around and killing people.
Rakugaki Showtime - because before there was Smash Bros, there was bashing the Smiley Ball for super moves and launching ICBMs against your foes.
