Come on now.. that giant spinning soccer ball... a goal at the top of the table with the goalie swinging back and forth.. light the rollover targets, score a goal, unlock a mega-scoring spinner/bumper/drop target bank... it was heaven man.. i had a record at the U of Winnipeg for a day or two:) This game stole my food budget first year uni AND almost started to dent into my beer budget.... almost.:)
The only games I have really gotten into lately are the solid multiplayer games. Unreal Tournament obviously has me by the cajones, NHL 2000 as well, being from the great white north. The only exception I can think of, is MGS. This game can truly be called a work of art, IMHO. I don't know if this game made Hideo Kojima a celebrity, but it was pretty clear whose baby this game was. Anyone with a playstation who hasn't played this game yet, give it a rent, there may still be hope for console gaming with more creativity like this.

I'm not trying to start a flame war here, but come on... no freedom of press? That's a little hard to justify, don't you think?
