I honestly feel like one of the few people who prefers this game to Bayonetta. And don't get me wrong, I love Bayonetta. It's my 3rd favorite game in the genre, and I'd say that it's a "better" game than this game and NGB, but I still just "prefer" those games and the specific ways that they each play to Bayonetta's style, if that makes any sense.

It's a hard pick for me. I like all three of those games (and DMC1, as well) almost equally, so I can never decide which is my all time favorite. I usually go with NGB though, since it was my first love from the genre.

TPS - Max Payne

FPS - F.E.A.R.

Bullet time is best time!

2D Adventure- The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons

3D Platformer - Ratchet & Clank

Great list, Foggle! I still really need to play some of those games.

Also, I'm glad to see that we agree on certain genres so much.

Mega Man Zero is on the eshop RIGHT NOW. If you have never played this game or series, you well know that I regard it very, very highly. Go pick it up!

And no whining about difficulty, you can use save states here.
