I've played Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Half Life, Armored Core, Pokemon Snap and Serious Sam 3. I haven't played the others, and while the ones I listed were ok, I voted for Pokemon Snap because I oddly had the most fun with it. Even though it was a short game and not a particularly deep game, I thought it was enjoyable. It's probably one of the best Pokemon spinoff games they've made, as most of them are total shit.

Really? I think Pokémon Pinball was playable, and the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games are supposed to be pretty good. I'd rather play those than Pokémon Snap, which is boring even for a rail shooter.

EDIT: But then again, those are the only Pokémon spin-offs that come to mind, maybe the others are all total shit. I do remember that N64 fighting game or whatever it was. I only played it once.

Pokémon Pinball is playable by dint of being a pinball game, and the Mystery Dungeons are again passable based on their series/genre. Of course, I say that, but it doesn't have to be true in all cases. I haven't really played Pokénaga's Ambition, so I don't know how well that turned out or whether the crossover saved it. Pokémon Puzzle League was enjoyable, but that's mainly because I like Puzzle League, whatever the paint job they put on it.

I had a lot of fun with Audiosurf. It really kind of opened the door to indie games for me.

I never saw how people liked snap it is barely a game and got so boring for me so very quickly. Audiosurf + Thomas was alone for me.

Man, am I glad to hear you say that. I was beginning to think Pokémon fans would consider any PoS with that marque to be BGE material. Horrible, asinine game.
