A list that in many spots, I can agree with.
Majora's Mask is not my favorite Zelda - I preferred the Gamecube era over the N64 era when it comes to that series - but on the other hand, the amount of detail that went into planning schedules for every NPC was staggering, and necessitated the three-day time limit.
FFIX is a fine game with a lot of polish and definitely one of the high points of the series. FFIX and Majora's Mask were my 2000 GOTYs.
RE Code: Veronica, while I still prefer RE4 and missed this game during its original Dreamcast release, was still a very solid game.
I've always enjoyed the Sim games, or at least I did until Will Wright left Maxis and left the Sims in the hands of EA executives that don't seem to know their asses from their heads with regards to the games. The original SimCity with its EGA graphics and PC Speaker sound (which sounded like two cats screwing in a blender set on "puree") kept my 13-year-old self glued to my computer for hours on end, the original Sims likewise, and my most recent Maxis game was SimCity 4. Love all the intricacies and humor of the Sim games.
