Noticeably missing because I haven't played them (much): Vampire Bloodlines, Ninja Gaiden Black, Silent Hill 2, Okami, Arcanum, Psychonauts... I don't have much nostalgia for this era, but there's a pretty deep rabbit hole of games I could go down if I wanted to.

Vice City sharing the slot. I never played San Andreas.
