WELP THANKS IMAGESHACK FOR SAVING THAT FOR FOREVER
Games in bold are super-good
Bullet points under game titles are for DLC.
If available, Game of the Year or "Complete" editions are always recommended.
Some multiplatform titles will have a recommended version next to it. In most cases, it's due to one version having a superior control scheme. In the case of Psychonauts, however, the Xbox version is highly recommended because the PS2 version has ridiculously long load times.
Generation five is barebones at the moment. Sorry.
