Right now, I am really enjoying Pokemon Heart Gold.
...But the best game that I have ever played so far is Okami for the PS2 (and there's a Wii port, too). It's a beautiful, unique game with several inspirations from Zelda, but has it's own twists. Like being able to attack and manipulate the environment with a "Celestial Paintbrush".
I wish it sold better, but it seemed that people were more interested in more "mature" PS2 titles. A shame, too, because they missed out on a true gem.

I saw that game the other day and was telling my friend about it. I never played it, but thought the premise was neat with the painting. I just think Nintendo shoots itself in the foot WAY too much, just like Apple computers. Sure they make great stuff and make great stuff for their stuff, but no one else does and it turns people off that they're so strict on third party items.

Oh yes, it was. The only real problem I had with the game was that it was too easy; I never died once, because you can buy so many recovery bones, and use the pouches to revive yourself should you run out of health (which never happened with me, because, as I said, I bought dozens of bones).

Well, Nintendo's philosophy seems to be "If it's not broke, don't fix it." So, if the formula works, they'll keep milking it, as seen with Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and Fire Emblem. But they have been a bit easer on third parties: For instance, Team Nnja is developing Metroid: Other M, and it looks fantastic.
The problem is that many third partes are unwilling to develop on the Wii because of the userbase and/or limited hardware compared to the PS3 and X360.

I remember when Gamecube had the exclusive rights to Resident Evil with Capcom and then it went all to hell and it found its way to the PS2.

Oh right. I don't even know how that happened.
I know that Nintendo made a deal to let Capcom port Viewtiful Joe to the PS2 to get Resident Evil 4 exclusive to the Gamecube. I don't know if there was a fall out, or Capcom was just money-hungry (because let's face it: the GCN wasn't exactly a success last gen) or catering to the fans.

#1.Tomb Raider(I played and finished this game WITHOUT THE BOOK but I did have a weapons code)...I would literally wake up out of my sleep and know how 2 solve the puzzles that were giving me problems the night before...It wasn't that I was dreaming about the game...I was just so blown away that I would actually think about while sleeping? I was so exhausted mentally that it took me years to play an RPG again!
#2 Is Grand Turismo 2...I'm a car nut so I WON'T EVEN TOUCH ANOTHER DRIVING GAME...I'm still waiting for the newest 1 to come out...I LOVE THE COCKPIT VIEW THAT'S ON PROLOGUE...
#3 Assassins Creed...I just loved everything about this game...I'm just getting around to playing the newest edition...It's cool but its not as jaw dropping to me now because its hard to top the 1st edition...
I'm a PLAYSTATION guy since PS1 and I only play Sony systems...I did have a dreamcast when it was out though...But I really got it for my son...lol I picked these games because these were the ones that I couldn't put down...You know, playing them all night until the sun came up!
