Mass Effect 2 - Best Story in the series, with massive gameplay improvements on the first game and a list of great characters. The game was perfect in almost every detail.
Agreed. I'm a big fan of the trilogy but ME2 definitely stands out the most. ME3 could have been close or as good if it wasn't for the ending. I hope BioWare doesn't let us down with Andromeda.

I got Starcraft 2 a few years ago as a gift, and I still haven't even installed it on my computer. :(

I wish it was as good as the first. I got diamond the first season and then just stopped playing...it's too stressful to play that game you have to try so hard. I like watching it mroe than playing it now
 

The Green Mile

Tony Hawks Underground 2 or maybe American Wasteland
Crash Team Racing

Just watched a guy on Youtube win the entire Mike Tyson's Punch out from start to finish in 22 minutes !!!

He TKO tyson in about 2 min and 10 seconds .

He is the GOAT
He actually used the crazy first 90 min to kill Tyson and I also used it as survival time.
 
I'm kind of familiar with the elevator game. One of my professors programmed a very similar game back in 80's.

And @-NN- I don't recall it as a true metroidvania game, but you could try the turrican series for something similar to Metroid.
Very nice. He must have been obviously inspired by Elevator Action. Your professor's game is from the golden age of the non-PC personal computer. They released the same game in different platforms like Commodore 64, Spectrum, and Amstrad. I used to have an Amstrad CPC 6128 myself. Great machine, and very capable game-wise!

- Mass Effect series (can't wait for Andromeda)
- Assassins Creed 2
- God of War series
- Star Wars KotOR 1 and 2
- Halo 1, 2 and 3
- Warcraft 3: RoC and TFT
- Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge
- Ragnarok Online

Good on you, brilliant two games.

The first is one of the best I've ever played and really should be on the list, but things like this change by the day. If it was top 10 or even top 5 then it would be there. I don't rate 2 that highly, although I'm still annoyed that we didn't get part 3. Instead, we got some star wars mmo game that I have never played.

Any recommendations?

I've been doing some extensive research on recent years release of Metroidvania/2D platform titles and bought a bunch during the holiday season on Steam.

Axiom Verge (Metroidvania Contra)
Rogue Legacy (a hard rogue-lite)
Salt and Sanctuary (2D Dark Souls)
Guacamelee (very satisfying combat system, almost streetfighter-like, platforming gets challenging in later game)
Ori and the blind forest (nice modern looking, takes some platforming skills)
Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight (Beautifully animated graphics and rich setting, action gameplay)
Cave Story+ (pixel, suspicious controller support)
La Mulana (HARD)
Steamworld Dig (Western-themed mining adventure)
Mark of the Ninja (sealth/action 2D platformer, not a Metroidvania, highly recommended)
Shovel Knight (NES-inspired linear platformer)
Spelunky (rogue-lite, hard)

There's a kotor 2 restored content mod which puts content back in that Obsidian removed due to it being unfinished. Makes the ending not as abrupt. Haven't played the MMO but heard a lot of bad things about it.

Amazing platformer. Played it again recently (but only got to I think it was 118 stars).

Thanks. Have about half of these and will look into the rest. And yes, La-Mulana is hard as heck.

I only really liked sports and racing games with GTA series as an exception and maybe the odd shooter.

My favorite game ever was Rage Racer for PS1. Anyone heard of that? Insanely addictive with arcade and unrealistic style game play but just so fun.

Good game. Ever play Diddy Kong Racing or series like Forza or Gran Turismo? Some of the Need For Speed games are good.

Best racer: Road Rash 2 for the Genesis.

Gran Turismo, has a few of those always enjoyed , had the steering wheel and pedal thing too.

Never had genesis. had dreamcast as well as all the ps's and n64/wii.

Right now I own nothing anymore, smartphones and aging basically killed my interest in videogames.

Need for Speed was very fun I recall as well, they had the same drifting style arcade feel racing as Rage Racer. Ridge Racer too was similar.

I enjoyed Cruisin USA fro N64 as well, amazingly similar feel to the cruisin Arcade machines if you played it with a steeringwheel/pedal

There's a kotor 2 restored content mod which puts content back in that Obsidian removed due to it being unfinished. Makes the ending not as abrupt. Haven't played the MMO but heard a lot of bad things about it.

I can't believe I forgot to put Kotor 1 on my list, incredible game. I finally beat the second one on Steam, it's still pretty good, but it's not the first one. I have no idea how there hasn't been a third one, those games were incredibly well received.

Apparently the whole story was created to round up the trilogy with Kotor 3 but they were forced to cancel the project. The first game is definitely in my top 5 games and the second game is a solid title as well, but the ending sort of ruined it for me with or without the restored content mod which is disappointing.

Tetris was boss. Gotta put that at numero uno.

Probably too many other contenders for the remaining slots, but that Russian dude took it to another level with that one. :)
