I noticed that they didn't have any Sonic games on here.

Also, even though Mega Man Soccer is a genuinely unfinished game, it's still not nearly as foul as X7.

Wouldn't that series basically fill up the whole list?

You are not alone.

Also Megaman Soccer is a perfectly fine game.

I'm shocked that nobody's "cleverly" said, "Where's Twilight Princess / Halo 2 / NSMB / GTA4 / other good game that they just want to troll?" yet.

I loved pissing off Pac-Man in that game! :lol

I'd post a death montage but half of the fun in that game is discovering the several thousand ways in which to die on your own.

I only played it as a rental, but the concept of not directly controlling the main character but influencing him and his surroundings was really interesting. It just would've worked better as a mouse or pointer game than with a standard gamepad.

I think I'm one of the few that actually enjoyed Mario is Missing SNES. Was nothing compared to the other Mario games, but I remember having a lot of fun learning about world landmarks.

I'd love a sequel on the Wii. Maybe a WiiWare release?

Beaten, but I have to say it anyway: how is Sonic not the entire list? How is Sonic not on there at all? This list is more like "Weird games in franchises" (that are also mostly bad).

As others have said, Pac-Man 2 really isn't a bad game. It's certainly weird as as all hell, and it was kind of dirty of Namco to trick kids into buying a game that is absolutely nothing like the previous installments in the series. But once I got past the initial disappointment of realizing the game was absolutely nothing like I expected it to be, I had some fun with it.

I remember renting it. I played it all evening while munching on Little Caesers pizza. Mm, good times.

It's been mentioned a few times in this thread, but I don't think anyone should forget how awful Bomberman Zero (360) actually was. It truly stripped away everything that made Bomberman great.

Honestly, I was expecting something a little more controversial, like listing Super Mario Bros. 2, Zelda II, etc.

It's not really interesting to see a list of stuff we already know. :p

I'm perfectly willing to believe Megaman Soccer probably sucked ass and I was just too young to understand. I mean all the robots facing each other at the same time is such a dorkspasm I don't think I should be accountable for my opinion.
