Volgarr challenges you to play perfectly for the full 50 minute duration of the game. And you'll do it. Eventually.

Glad to see Pikmin powering through at the minute. I also voted for Minish Cap which is often forgotten as a Zelda game, also up there with the best.

I'm abstaining on this one, having not played most of these.

I actually thought I'd be the only person who voted for Cave Story. I played that game many many years ago when it was freeware and later bought it again much later. It's really a classic in my opinion.

There's a lot of other good ones in this poll though. I almost voted for Pikmin and Demon's Souls and considered voting for some others, but decided to restrict myself to Cave Story.

Pass, the games that I've played (about half) isn't what I'd call good, let alone bge material.

Darn, I thought we were limited to two votes again. Minish Cap and Silent Hill 2 are both very high in their franchises.

I've only played very little of Pikmin, the only one I've actually beaten was Pikmin 3.

Demon's Souls, for reasons previously stated.

Volgarr gets my vote even though I've only played two stages of it. Probably enough said right there. Brilliant design and a must-play for Rastan die-hards.

Kind of ruined my plan to call the whole forum a bunch of baby casuals.
