First-person shooters in general -- The frenetic pacing works well - but it's mostly the older games that capture that sense of mental panic well. More recent ones, well, kinda don't.
Modern Warfare 1 -- The story was definitely above average by the (low as the poxy Challenger Deep) standards of FPSs and contained some decent dramatic moments.
Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (XBox port) -- The formerly abysmal loading times are now severely cut, which is a Good Thing. Shame about the rest of the game, really, I loved that series.
