Earthworm Jim 3D
Mostly standard fare for an early 3D platformer, this is also the game that taught me not to touch the analog stick while the console is booting up.
Progress: A short way in
Rating: Average
Gex 64: Enter the Gecko
Some run-of-the-mill 3D environment platform-hopping in a character action game full of TV-related quips and one-liners.
Progress: A short way in

In a somewhat bizarre concept for a Looney Tunes game, Taz must escort a package through various hazardous environments, solving puzzles to bring it safely through each stage.
Progress: Several levels
Rating: High
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Ocarina of Time makes a strong impression with leagues of memorable characters and locations including plenty of creative and challenging dungeons wherein the story takes a back seat and your puzzle-solving abilities come into full play.

Yoshi's Story
A group of Yoshis go on a sugary-sweet adventure to get the Super Happy Tree back from Baby Bowser. The game features some memorable sound design, and Yoshi has a strong set of moves for traversing side-scrolling stages while gathering enough fruit to progress.
Progress: Several levels
Rating: High
Game Boy Advance
Crash Bandicoot XS
Taking heavy cues from the original trilogy, Crash's first handheld is a good side-scroller with an appropriately downsize-themed story.

Feels closer to Wrath of Cortex than Warped.
Progress: Storyline finished

Mario Kart with a shiny new gimmick, which isn't really terribly impressive.

The best combination of features from previous games, before things started to get dropped and chopped and changed.

Mario Party 5
Some alterations, introductions of features and removals of others make this the first Mario Party that is not as good as the last.
Progress: Single-player finished with at least one character, some multiplayer
Rating: High
Pikmin
A clever and original concept, with tight controls to support it, but the story-imposed time limit is a turn off.
Progress: Storyline finished, turned into a Pikmin
Rating: High
Pikmin 2
Too many underground caves for my liking, but otherwise, this bests the original in every way.
Progress: Storyline finished, 97 of 201 treasures

Another SpongeBob game with some good solid gameplay and a strong SpongeBob feel.
Progress: Storyline finished

Rating: Highest
3DS
New Super Mario Bros. 2
The new coin-related power-ups are cool, and amassing hundreds of coins in rapid succession can be quite satisfying, but otherwise this is simply the same solid side-scrolling it's always been.
Progress: World 2-3 completed
Rating: High
Rayman 3D
My first look at a 3DS game. The 3D effects are pretty damn cool.
