Onechanbara. No shit. The loading screen game was better than the game. Because it was so much fun.

I liked Amped 3's loading screens just for the little pink robot doing the running man.

They have random lines of text passing at the bottom of the screen saying things like:
Calibrating snowflakes, Generating angry boss, Fine-tuning bladder, Generating random lines of text passing by...
They keep you entertained for a while.

World of Goo start up screen! Said some funny stuff there, all though the only one I can remember is "scraping funds"... Also Mokey Island for the PS2 had Loading written in pig latin at the very bottom of the screen, that made me laugh.

EDIT: Ooooh! Also Beautiful Katamari's ones where the giant face hovers around spewing words. Sometimes it's fun just to work out what the hell he's saying.

Oh wait...
You mean in Metroid Prime 3 when you're trying to go fast and the door won't open because it's loading the next room? And you get shot constantly while waiting?

The best load screen is the one you don't notice, the screen turns black for a second, then you're in game.

Zing :p

Anyway, I liked the fact that you could fool around/practice with the controls in the loading screens of Assassin's Creed. I also remember another game where there was a little game in the loading screens, but I can't remember wich one. Probably several.

I always chucked my unlimited supply of daggers at the camera.

I saw my brother playing some basket ball game, and the loading screen was some guy playing basketball. All i could think is, "what exactly are you loading?".

I love those. I wish they would pop up during the game as well.

I always liked the installer from the original Command and Conquer. It pretended it was hooking your computer up to the pentagon or something :)

Incidentally, I see someone above mentioned that they liked little mini-games on loading screens/installers. I swear I read somewhere that BANDAI own the patent to this idea. Which, frankly, sucks ass.

Well, it's better than having to sit through a minute of load every time you walk through a door.

Assassins Creed for sure. I always sprint in one direction trying to hit the barrier. (Ive hit it twice so far in about 80+ hrs of gameplay.)

The opening load screen to The Sims games was always good. Like, there would be silly little captions for what they were doing, like "Chlorinating Carpools" or "Spraying For Bugs" or things like taht.
