Tricky, and both Super Monkey Balls (I'm assuming). You my friend have good taste in console games. Those are three of my fav console games this gen, and all are seriously underappreciated, esp. Tricky since people tend to just lump it in w/ all the other EA stuff I think.
 
Like I could actually list these in order. This is just as they popped into my mind. 20 games that I could have on a desert island and not go insane after 20 years. Well, as long as I'd have a low-latency internet connection for Kohan and CS ;b
