Not classic yet, but out-dated.
I'm not after the ol' classics like Dig Dug or Contra or whatnot. I'm thinking more about stuff from a generation or so ago that are still playable and...well... recognisably 'modern'. I've noticed many people on here loving Spiderman 2, which I never played. Would it still hold up today? Any other recommendations?
I remember having loads of fun with Evil Dead: Fistful of Boomstick, for example. I think there's enough there for a re-release as an Xbox download.
EDIT - screw the "generation ago" thing. Anything you think is still kind of modern-ish, whatever.

What Genres do you enjoy?
Well... I raised the question mainly as a conversation point, really. So I'm reluctant to limit it to particular genres. But it is something I'm interested in, so feel free to mention whatever you loved. Go nuts, fellah. I'll look into any games mentioned and if they interest me I'll give them a go where possible.

Yeah, just edited that and made it suitably vague. I'm not overly fussed about keeping it generation-specific, so long as it goes along with the general spirit of what I meant.
I just remembered the Syphon Filter games. I had a blast with them. I'd love a reboot of that series.

RE: Not classic yet, but out-dated.
For PS2: Ty the Tasmanian Tiger series, Destroy All Humans 1 and 2, Jak series, Sly Cooper series, Radiata Story( A little obscure, but a great RPG), and Ratchet and Clank series.
For PS1: Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and Tomba.
For GBA: Megaman BattleNetwork Series and Pokemon
I tried to not go with really popular series and I wasn't to sure what to do for N64 and Gamecube other than Banjo Kazooie, Mario, and Zelda. I was considering saying Extreme G or Snowboard kids. But other than F Zero their isn't many classic racing style games.

I mentioned it in my post actually. I actually said the game is good but I don't think it would last as long as games like the FF/ToS has. Mainly because the game was dated to begin with.

PS1, Bushido Blade. I fucking loved that game. I still hope that in about 15yrs time it'll be recognised as a classic.
