If it weren't for my nostalgia for Mario 64, I'd say Mario Galaxy is the best 3D Mario game out there.
I only got Orange Box once the price went down to 20 bucks so I could play Portal.
I didn't get into Rock Band until I had the opportunity to review LEGO Rock Band. Looking back it was such a fad but at the time it seemed like a mainstay.
Chrono Trigger is one of the best RPGs ever made.
PAX is still around. I just haven't been in a while because it's been a lot smaller since COVID and now I have to watch my money more since my living expenses are different now.
I went to a sushi restaurant where robots served you your drinks!

Okami was my GOTY for 06.
Metroid Prime 2 is great but it sure is hard. One of the few Metroid games I can't beat.
The Ratchet and Clank PS2 games are some of the best 3D platforming of that generation.
Metroid Zero Mission is a fine remake, even if I didn't like the little stealth section they added at the end.
Best part of Psychonauts was the humor. That's why I stopped playing the sequel because we live in a world now where everyone is afraid to offend anyone so humor suffers because of it. Psychonauts 2 was missing a lot of humor.
I'm still currently enjoyed the Thousand Year Door remake.
Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando improved so much from the first game that it was pretty amazing. And Up Your Arsenal took those improvements and refined them. Really great trilogy of games. No disrespect to Mega Man Legends, but Ratchet and Clank is what a 3D Mega Man game should've been.
Well, not very well anyway. But then, I'm a big dummy when it comes to that sort of thing.
Oh no, Electronics Puzzle Lab was probably the worst game I played in this batch.
When I was a kid I would go trick or treating with my best friend and when we were done, I'd give him all the Halloween candy I didn't like, which was more than half my bag. That's probably one of the reasons why I stopped trick or treating once I hit Middle School.
Also If I spent the night at my friend's house and he had Lucky Charms for breakfast, i'd take all my marshmallows out and put them in his bowl. Then his mom would wonder why he was so hyper for the rest of the day. :)
I reviewed the original Moving Out a few years ago:

I like the idea of Little Big Planet but I never got around to spending as much time with it as I'd like to. You can't play them all, you know. My brother Jeff LOVED those games, though. The same folks who made that game also made another one that I liked a lot better called Tearaway. It used paper visuals even better than Paper Mario. It's one of the best PS Vita games and the remake is one of the first games I got for the PS4.
The first Cotton game I reviewed was just a reboot of the original game, but they made it more accessible and let you play different versions of it so that was pretty neat.
Panorama Cotton was a 3D on rails shooter like Rainbow Cotton, but it was on the SEGA Genesis so they had to use some pretty slick graphical trickery to make it feel 3D.
I'll still recommend you consider trying Little Kitty, Big City, though. It's a bit short, but still a neat unique experience.
