Name your 5 favourite console videogames of this generation in no particular order. That is, only the Xbox, Gamecube and PlayStation 2 counts here. So not Dreamcast, GBA or PC. Each game you mention will receive one point in the overall list (top 25) that I will make up regularly.

Note: If your list doesn't consist out of precisely 5 titles, or if it has titles on other platforms instead of the three mentioned above, your list will not be included in the overall list.

My five games are:

Metroid Prime
GTA: San Andreas
Halo
Pro Evolution Soccer 3
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

Metroid Prime
Grand Theft Auto 3
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Super Smash Bros Melee
Viewtiful Joe

I think... honorable mentions to F-Zero GX, Wind Waker and Pikmin 2... damn it it's so hard to choose, my list is different all the time, but that will do for now I guess.

These list threads are pretty pointless (as if anyone is going to read every single list), but hey, they're easy to post in! Metroid Prime will probably change to Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and VJ might change to VJ2 once I get my hands on them.
 
Winning Eleven 7- Best sports game ever (until 8 comes out).

Super Monkey Ball- 2 is very good too, but the brilliant simplicity and incredible challenge of this game make it a timeless classic, a rarity these days.

Halo- Haven't played 2 enough to include it, but multiplayer and co-op get this onto the list.

SSX Tricky- Better than 3 imo, though 3 is good. Another very classic-feeling game to me, the mechanics and sense of speed in this game are just perfect.

GTA 3- An incredibly fresh experience, haven't been able to get into the follow-ups nearly as much for whatever reason.
 
F-Zero GX - Probably the best GC game so far an nobody noticed it !!! Excellent graphics, tons of speed and superb gameplay. This game screamed for Online Play. I doubt I will ever want to play online a title so much like this....

Onimusha - It made me buy a PS2. Short ? sure. But it's one of the most polished games of this gen. Excellent soundtrack, awesome story and cool arcade gameplay. The locations are the prettiest I have seen (the castle) :)

Pikmin - Simply aweseome. The proof that Nintendo can still push excellent games when they forget about their old franchise. Can't wait to play part 2.

Ridge Racer V - MHGIGAF(Most hated game in Gaming Age Forums). Well, I think it's a pretty good game. More impressing is the fact that it was pushed for the launch date. Bad captures and comentaries have made it the most hated PS2 game. Does RRV deserve this ? I don't think so. RRV is the return to the roots of the series, to the simple drifting, to the cool city where people just races. The soundtrack is excellent and counted with Mijk Van Dik/Namco Sound Team and they did excellent tracks like "Euphoria" or "Nightride" for instance. It's not a game for everybody.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow - Best Konami game so far this gen (IMO). I was very skeptical about this game since it was the 3rd vania on GBA and I doubted it could be any good. It was placed on the Future which smelled even worse...However AOS is the successor to SOTN. Awesome music and stages, cool gameplay and cool characters. Must-have for every Castlevania fan.
I'll change this for ZOE2.


I guess my opinion will change when I play other titles such as MGS3 for instance...GTA:SA would deserve to be there...but I haven't finished it yet. Honorable mentions:

Zone of the Enders 2
Contra Shattered Soldier
Super Monkey Ball
Resident Evil Remake / 0
Klonoa 2
 
Phantasy Star Online - Episode I&II (GCN)
Metroid Prime (GCN)
Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter (PS2)
Halo/Halo 2 (Xbox)
Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack (Xbox) ;)

Where's the Ico love? I don't get this place sometimes!

I can't pick out only five, sorry. I just felt like bitching the lack of Ico support here. :)
