A list of games I'd like to revisit in order of Metacritic score for the years 2004-2006 with some notes.
              			
                				Half-Life 2 - I've played both console versions on Xbox and Xbox 360. Don't have it anymore.
              			
                				Halo 2 - I waited in line outside Gamestop at midnight release with Mad Krammer in '04.  
              			
                				Gears of War - I discovered this series in the summer of 2011 as GoW 3 was about to be released. I have the Ultimate Edition on Xbox Series S. 
              			
                				Oblivion - I got it with my Xbox 360 summer of 2006 from Dell Computers. I've never finished it.
              			
                				Burnout 3: Takedown - Spiritual successor to Destruction Derby 2 imo. I have the first three. 
              			
                				God of War - Always a reason to own a Playstation. I have original disc and in PS3 collection. 
              			
                				Okami - Remembered always with God Hand as two games I loved for Playstation in '06.
              			
                				Metroid Prime 2 - I've always had it but barely played it. 
              			
                				Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal - Own it as part of PS3 collection. Would like PS2 version. 
              			
                				Advance Wars: Dual Strike - Still own it in the box. The first reason I wanted a DS. 
              			
                				Pikmin 2 - Owned on Wii. I guess I sold my Gamecube version as it's worth some $ now. 
              			
                				Burnout Revenge - Exists on OG Xbox, Xbox 360 and digitally for XSS. I've played it a lot.
 
Call of Duty 2 - Used as a showcase for the graphics on Xbox 360 back in '05. I'd revisit it. 
Dragon Quest VIII - My first Dragon Quest game. Mad Krammer and I dug in deep on the PS2.
 
Metroid Zero Mission - I still own it on GBA. Loaded it up today on a DS Lite to play again. 
Jade Empire - I just bought the digital version for $3 on my Xbox Seres S.
 
Far Cry - I played it on OG Xbox, Xbox 360 and now as Far Cry Classic on XSS.
 
Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay - Great looking game I used to own.
 
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 - I just got it. Includes some interesting tactical commands. 
F.E.A.R. - Still looking for the 360 version I used to own but digital is available I think.
 
Psychonauts - I still own the OG Xbox version. Excited to revisit it. 
              			
                				Oddworld Stranger's Wrath - I still own this for OG Xbox. Need to finish it. 
              			
                				Sid Meier's Pirates - Mad Krammer and I have played this to death on all Xboxes. 
              			
                				Paper Mario Thousand Year Door - I have the remake now, just need to get to it. 
              			
                				That's my selections from the first four pages on Metacritic. All are at or above an 87 rating. It's a lot and I can think of more that I played back then that probably didn't rise as high critically.
