** VideoGame/CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy...need I say more? The first three Crash games, given a graphical update with all of the levels from their respective games lovingly recreated to the core, all of the games getting optional Time Trials with their own Sapphire, Gold, and Platinum Relics, the option to play as Coco in any level that isn't a ride or boss level, and above all, good, fluid control that takes some time to get used to if you played the originals first but otherwise aren't that bad? Oh yeah, and these games [[NintendoHard still like to kick you in the balls and remind you that you're playing the first three games]]. And when you complete a stage, it feels ''so'' satisfying to reap those sweet rewards...

** If you enjoy character customization, the ''Dynasty Warriors Empires'' spinoffs are right up your alley. Each iteration of this subseries adds more features and gives you freedom to play out the story you want to play. Want Wang Yuanji to marry Zhao Yun? Go for it! Want Dong Zhuo to conquer China? No reason why not! Want to make your own army of original characters? The only real limit is your imagination!

Editing out an ablist slur that didn't need to be there


* ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' is the poster child for CapcomSequelStagnation, and has an AI that's retarded, but its also hack and slash taken to its core. Its your army vs the enemies army over a thousand people want you dead, the way to gain horses are always fun, the secrets are great, and the characters are always well designed. When you do a crowd clearing move the enemies are sent flying by the strokes of your weapons. Also its got ancient Chinese laser beams, and ancient Chinese flamethrowers in the form of wooden tigers. How awesome can this series get? The Nanman fight on Elephants! You get to use one as a mount! Its the most cathartic game series of all times, just turn on the game choose a level and start killing people without all the hassle of wanted levels.

* The [[http://www.aksysgames.com/bittripbeat Bit]] [[http://www.commandervideo.com Trip]] [[http://www.explorethevoid.com Series]] for WiiWare. These gems combine wonderful retro-styled visuals, EarWorm music and stupidly addictive points-based rhythm-action game play. Buy any one of these games and you won't need another game for months. They may be NintendoHard, but the feeling of pure accomplishment you get when you master them is the pinnacle of gaming for me.

* The quality can vary from AWESOME to DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible, but I have to raise my glass and cheer the fans who make {{Fan Sequel}}s and {{Fan Remake}}s of {{Sierra}} games. They do this on their own time, their own money, and face everything from [[StopHavingFunGuys lawsuits]] to people flaking on the project to real-life getting in the way. In particular, I have to toast VideoGame/TheSilverLiining team for their perseverance and Tierra[=/=]Creator/AGDInteractive for taking what is possibly the most frustrating, non-sensical, SolveTheSoupCans entry of the VideoGame/KingsQuest series and making it into something that is awesome on every level - voice acting (including Josh Mandel reprising Graham!), music, puzzles, and STORY.

** In all fairness to VideoGame/ModernWarfare, it's not nearly as realistic as the mainstream media wants you to believe. Its tactical FPS fore bearers - like the original ''VideoGame/RainbowSix'', ''DeltaForce'' and ''GhostRecon'' games; all of those series' first installments released before the [=PS2=] era - slanted much further in realism than any of the Modern Warfare games. In fact, a late 2011 issue of GameInformer brought up several realistic PC FPS games as an antithesis to VideoGame/ModernWarfare3, just to dismantle this myth. Hell, even ''VideoGame/CounterStrike'' has more realism than VideoGame/ModernWarfare, and no one mistook that game as anything beyond a more arcadey VideoGame/RainbowSix. VideoGame/ModernWarfare is more MisBlamed than anything, thanks to its [[ItsPopularNowItSucks popularity]] pigeonholing it into TropeCodifier territory for gritty, realistic FPS games, even though this clearly isn't true. Sure, the VideoGame/ModernWarfare series has plenty of legitimate faults, but being too realistic ain't one of them.

*** ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' actually manages to outdo its predecessor in almost every way and take the throne as the greatest superhero game of all time. It's got a complex and really enjoyable story (sometimes a little overly crowded but it works), spectacular design, loads of side missions and Riddler puzzles, brilliant gameplay that expands on the original in every aspect, great music, and incredible voice acting across the board. I expected a great game. [[SoCoolItsAwesome What I did not expect was one of the finest action/adventure games ever made.]]

* Who would of thought that a game as simple as ''VideoGame/BeatHazard'' would be so fun and addictive! You can take '''any''' music that ''you'' want to play and rave out to the beat while shooting up all sorts of space ships! The controls are so simple to pickup and play, the gameplay can be hectic or simplistic as you want it to be, all while enjoying your tunes! Don't feel like shooting things but like the trippy light show of the game? You can put the game into Chill Out mode and you can play your music in ''Beat Hazard'' without picking up the controller (or keyboard)! You don't have to enjoy this gem alone; you and a buddy can team in co-op or go head-to-head and score the most points. This game is all around fun for everyone (who are not epileptic) in the simplest form!

* ''VideoGame/DustAnElysianTail'' has beautiful 2D graphics, a compelling story, and slick controls all wrapped in a 2D sidescroller. Even more amazingly it was programmed, written, and drawn by ONE PERSON with only the voice actors and music producer making up the rest of his team. It's also one of the few mainstream works with furry character that takes itself seriously instead of being a mascot title.

** The expansion packs for ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas''. ''[=Dead Money=]'' is the perfect SurvivalHorror experience, in the VideoGame/{{Fallout}} universe with amazing characters, an interesting locale, and [[TearJerker heartbreaking events]]. ''Honest Hearts'' gives us one of the most {{Badass}} [[TheAtoner Atoners]] gaming has ever seen, and a great new area to explore. ''Old World Blues'' is the series' trademark Mad Science humour, set in a WorldOfHam with a cast of colourful characters. And ''Lonesome Road''... It's a journey through a DeathWorld with only one living character, but it manages to be an awesome, [[{{Tearjerker}} sad]], open-ended conclusion to the MythArc that was building up across the previous three add-ons. When else has DownloadableContent ever rivaled the main game like this?

* ''VideoGame/CrimzonClover'' is by far the best shmup since sliced ''[[VideoGame/DonPachi DoDonPachi]]''. And that's saying something, considering it's '''{{doujinshi}}'''--developed for 5 years mainly by one person, with a little outside assistance and another person doing the music. As for the game itself, it puts as much emphasis on [[StuffBlowingUp destruction]] as it does on [[BulletHell dodging]], [[SuperMode BREAK MODE]] and [[UpToEleven DOUBLE BREAK MODE]] are hilariously fun, and the stages are intense, ''especially'' starting with Original Mode Stage 4. The game in general is just so polished that you'd be forgiven for mistaking it for a commercial game (although it being a PC game kinda gives away the fact that it's a doujin game).

* ''FreedomForce'' from Irrational Games: A celebration of all that is gloriously, goofily lovable about Silver Age comic books... the ridiculous alliterative exclamations ("Rings of Rexor!"), the brilliant eye-popping color, the delicious gooey melodrama of the origin stories, the good-hearted but somewhat softheaded patriotism... and all held together with the most elegant, stylish premise I've ever seen for superheroes on Earth. See, what happened is, a deranged alien king has decided that it would amuse him to watch Earth destroy itself, so he arranges to seek out the most depraved and vile humans and grant them... "the awesome power of Energy X!" To say more would spoil all the wonderful twists and turns that manage somehow to be both familiar and surprising... and the ending! Oh, man, the ending...

* When I played CompanyOfHeroes, I felt like it was a completely different game from the VideoGame/AgeOfEmpires series and ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology'' RTS games that I played (I still love em') and it completely blew my mind. It felt realistic (in retrospect it technically just ''felt'' realistic, there was much about it that wasn't - it still does remain that way in feeling to me, however), which was a big jump from the aforementioned Age of-s I played. I'd feel the same about ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar 2'' with it being similar to CompanyOfHeroes RecycledInSpace (or, you know, TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}. I like TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'s setting.), aside from Games For Windows Live disconnecting my Xbox Live Silver account all the time in multiplayer and some balance problems that are being ironed out.

It's a Warriors game where you play as Zelda characters; need I say more? Sure, its 3DS ''Legends'' port may not do too well on an older model, but on a newer model it becomes one of my favorite games on the system. I'm not kidding when I tell you I spent ''months'' clearing Legend ''and'' Adventure Mode, and I'm still hungry for the DLC! That's the mark of an amazing game.

* VideoGame/CallOfDuty: Finest Hour is a masterpiece in my eyes. Sure, the graphics are mediocre, but the animations, especially the death animations, are awesome and well thought out. The game is probably the most challenging of the series, as even though previous games still used a Heath bar, in this game it is the most limited ( a single burst of MG42 fire can kill you). Levels are not very linear, there is a lot of room for flexibility, and most importantly, no stupid "story elements". Sure, you may be given a cutscene at the beginning to establish the setting, but there are few times where you are interrupted during a mission.

** Its sequel Banjo-Tooie is just about as much fun with bigger levels, better moves and more transformations. Plus you can turn Kazooie into a dragon!

Removing gushing on Eternal Fighter Zero, as I'm moving it to a more appropiate page. I heard that the gushing pages are about to be deleted, just like the wall banger pages.


* ''VideoGame/EternalFighterZero'', a fantastic doujin FightingGame, features several characters from diverse visual novels by Creator/KeyVisualArts such as ''[[VisualNovel/ONEKagayakuKisetsuE ONE ~ To The Radiant Season]]'', ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'', ''MOON'' and ''VisualNovel/{{AIR}}''. These are stories that hardly have anything to do with combat, and despite, in EFZ they were all given amazing powers and fun fighting styles, referencing several aspect from the novels, as well as other fighting games, such as ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' or ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear''.\\
Seeing 23 cute girls in action is both funny and heartwarming: funny because there they are, [[AdaptationalBadass throwing down spectacularly like martial arts masters]], Akiko Minase is particularly fun to play with, a nice and kind mom in her source material, is a funny character who fights using household items, and her "[[GargleBlaster Special Jam]]" still has the property of scaring away even the most {{Badass}} warrior; Mizuka Nagamori, a cheerful girl who worries about her friends, is also a powerful fighter with [[InstrumentOfMurder her cello]] and school bag, able to even pummel her opponents with a pillow; Misuzu Kamio: Sweet, innocent, shy... She's a strong and tricky character who places traps everywhere, and does not hesitate in using curses and poisons to drain her opponent's life bar; And Kano Kirishima, who wanted to be able to use magic, saw her wish fulfilled now that she's able to use elemental magic (And got the expertise of a skilled fighter as a bonus, by fighting with a MagicStaff), and she looks pretty happy... Seeing them fighting [[NoPlotNoProblem for no particular reason]] [[RuleOfFun is pretty fun]].\\
And it's heartwarming because of the fact that the characters come from diverse works by Creator/KeyVisualArts: Their works are famous for having [[{{Utsuge}} sad, depressing stories]] (To the point that, in ThisVeryWiki, they warn us to "bring tissues"), and the characters (specially the ones from ''VisualNovel/{{AIR}}'' and ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'') are known to have psychological issues, [[DarkAndTroubledPast troubled backstories]], and in general, they have to go through a lot of pain and suffering to [[EarnYourHappyEnding earn their happy endings]], (And they do, which is very satisfactory), so, seeing them in this game, happy and probably having a good time fighting, feels good, it really touches your heart, specially if you're familiar with the original stories. You feel happy even for Kanna, if you are familiar with ''VisualNovel/{{AIR}}'', you don't mind her position as the resident SNKBoss. No need to "[[RunningGag bring tissues]]" anymore.

** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'' was my first. It may show its flaws more keenly in the current age of gaming, but it was so ambitious and it got so many things ''just right''. An enormous hand-crafted world chock full of things to find and a diverse system of gameplay with huge potential for fun despite (or perhaps because of) how unbalanced it was. More than anything, though, I'll remember how it steadfastly refused to hold your hand - dropping you in the middle of a small coastal village with only a brief tutorial and the vaguest of directions, and that's it. Even Oblivion and Skyrim at least gave you a compass pointer. Where should you go? What should you do? What is this strange land and what role are you supposed to play it in? That's entirely up to you. Never have I felt so powerless, yet so empowered.

* ''VideoGame/EternalFighterZero'', a fantastic doujin FightingGame, features several characters from diverse visual novels by Creator/KeyVisualArts such as ''[[VisualNovel/ONEKagayakuKisetsuE ONE ~ To The Radiant Season]]'', ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'', ''MOON'' and ''VisualNovel/{{AIR}}''. These are stories that hardly have anything to do with combat, and despite, in EFZ they were all given amazing powers and fun fighting styles, referencing several aspect from the novels, as well as other fighting games, such as ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' or ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear''.\\
Seeing 23 cute girls in action is both funny and heartwarming: funny because there they are, [[AdaptationalBadass throwing down spectacularly like martial arts masters]], Akiko Minase is particularly fun to play with, a nice and kind mom in her source material, is a funny character who fights using household items, and her "[[GargleBlaster Special Jam]]" still has the property of scaring away even the most {{Badass}} warrior; Mizuka Nagamori, a cheerful girl who worries about her friends, is also a powerful fighter with [[InstrumentOfMurder her cello]] and school bag, able to even pummel her opponents with a pillow; Misuzu Kamio: Sweet, innocent, shy... She's a strong and tricky character who places traps everywhere, and does not hesitate in using curses and poisons to drain her opponent's life bar; And Kano Kirishima, who wanted to be able to use magic, saw her wish fulfilled now that she's able to use elemental magic (And got the expertise of a skilled fighter as a bonus, by fighting with a MagicStaff), and she looks pretty happy... Seeing them fighting [[NoPlotNoProblem for no particular reason]] [[RuleOfFun is pretty fun]].\\
And it's heartwarming because of the fact that the characters come from diverse works by Creator/KeyVisualArts: Their works are famous for having [[{{Utsuge}} sad, depressing stories]] (To the point that, in ThisVeryWiki, they warn us to "bring tissues"), and the characters (specially the ones from ''VisualNovel/{{AIR}}'' and ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'') are known to have psychological issues, [[DarkAndTroubledPast troubled backstories]], and in general, they have to go through a lot of pain and suffering to [[EarnYourHappyEnding earn their happy endings]], (And they do, which is very satisfactory), so, seeing them in this game, happy and probably having a good time fighting, feels good, it really touches your heart, specially if you're familiar with the original stories. You feel happy even for Kanna, if you are familiar with ''VisualNovel/{{AIR}}'', you don't mind her position as the resident SNKBoss. No need to "[[RunningGag bring tissues]]" anymore.

Yes, the core gameplay--a half-octave of keys and a turntable with notes scrolling in separate columns per key--has largely stayed the same for that long, but hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
