Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: An acton game with a lot of social interaction. I was surprised how much more immersing this title was compared to the earlier MP's. The social aspect kept me playing till the end, but the moments of silence really bored me. I wished that more people would chat it up with me as I blasted space pirates. Also, some puzzles were just plain unnecessary. Swap a few of those puzzles with intense waves upon waves of enemies and I would be one happy camper.
Ninja Gaiden: A fast paced stealth game. Besides being one of the hardest games ever, Ninja Gaiden sometimes focused on the ninja skills like running on water and moving nimbly, but with all the hacking and slashing those skills are useless and unnecessary. In a pure stealth game, though, those skills could be put to good use.
Freedom Fighters: GRAW clone before GRAW. Freedom Fighters was fun and all, but required only the skill to gather ammo and go around corners. The manual aiming sucked, and the automatic lock-on was okay. But now think about it (if you played it) with a GRAW setup. That would just be sooo much, like, better.
Phantasy Star Universe Online: Free (subscription wise). Sure, if you ever played the demo for it you know that it is really repetitive, but if it took after Guild Wars I would be all over it. And so would the other thousands playing the demo.
You shouldn't play Metroid if you think that you should be fighting "intense waves upon waves of enemies"... there are other sci-fi shooters with the elements you speak of.
You shouldn't play Ninja Gaiden if you want stealth in your ninja games... there's the Tenchu franchise for that.
If you like GRAW, then play GRAW... Freedom Fighters is what it is.
The original Phantasy Star was free subscription wise. But motherfuckers with gamesharks and proaction replays found ways to player kill and steal people's shit, so Sega had to start charging to monitor the servers.... blame this on fuckhats with nothing better to do than ruin other people's days.
Really, none of this "criticism" was helpful nor was it well thought out. Anyone can say that a bad game should be better, or a game I don't like should be a game I like.

P.S. This was better than 97% of Jack's shit though... for whatever that's worth.

about me
Nintendo Gamer at heart, but that heart is being slowly torn apart. Currently playing various PC and Xbox 360 games.
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best... And...always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the light side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing. And...always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the light side of life...
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow. So always look on the bright side of death Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you. And always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the right side of life... (Come on guys, cheer up!) Always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the bright side of life... (Worse things happen at sea, you know.) Always look on the bright side of life... (I mean - what have you got to lose?) (You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!) Always look on the right side of life...

I loved Ninja Gaiden, but I agree that there wasn't a whole lot that was ninja-y about it. More like "Brutal Warrior Gaiden" or "Decapitator Gaiden".
Dude, Decapitator Gaiden would be a sweet spinoff title.
