    50. Pokemon Puzzle League - 8.2
    (51. NBA Courtside 2: Featuring Kobe Bryant - 8.2)


    What do you think? Is there a good variety of genres? Is there a good balance between hard core, casual, mature, and fun games?

    For sports series, I listed the highest rated version followed by other highly rated versions in parentheses. That's fair, right? Otherwise, the list would've been full of Madden NFL games, All-Star Baseball games, etc.


    By the way, this list is different from Joe's Top 25 Nintendo 64 (N64) Games thread from 2002 in that it's based on published review scores only.
