These games may not be the best in the world. But here's a short list of games I love as a fan.

Been enjoying this classic fighting franchise since I first saw the original.
These games were all instant classics as far as I'm concerned.
Any game with this in it is a great experience. What said games lack in some areas (combat, depth) they more than make up for with what it excels at (voice acting, storytelling, music, visual design).
To me it's the current peak of "games as art".
The original arcade Ninja Gaiden is my favourite and only beloved NG game. I spent God knows how many quarters on this game.
This is the only Elder Scrolls game I've played. I was skeptical when it was suggested to me (as II'm not a big RPG fan of ANY type), but once I broke out of prison ... awe. A lot of times I'll be playing a game and wonder at all the work that went into the whole package, then I remember Oblivion, and it dwarves anything I've seen yet. Bethesda are some hard working folk, and I appreciate it greatly. Note: Also the only game I have 1250 XP on.
I wouldn't call this game underrated by any stretch. But I will say it's over-criticized. For all the barriers Ubi broke through making this game, it staggers me that people can whine so much about a few repetitive yet optional side-quests. I say man-up, turn your HUD off, and soak yourself in this brilliantly realized world.
Best FPS I've ever played. I'm no FPS aficionado, but this game never fails to get the ol' adrenaline pumping.
These guys will change the industry if they haven't already.
