Genesis Rising: The Universal Crusade. 57/100 on Metacritic (Though does anyone seriously base decisions off of that crap?)
It was cheesy, lame storytelling, nothing spectacular really from an RTS. Yet the whole idea of being able to modify my ships on the fly to fit any situation, made the whole game for me. It was something unique and, imo a hell of a lot of fun.

From recent years; Hydrophobia (360 version 1.5) - it's a really, really good game for 400 points. I thought the PS3 version was much worse, especially replacing the fat Scottish "Scoot" character with a cookie-cutter American muscled douchebag. I would love a "hardcore" mode, something akin to version 1 (that I didn't get a chance to play) where the hud did not display and highlight where to go, making exploration key. I thought the environments were also well designed and convincing.
Duke Nukem Forever - fucking hell it was FUN. Long (for modern FPS) too. Critics were always going to hate on it, pretentious cockends. The original was hardly revolutionary nor tasteful, and I was always a Quake fan but appreciated the humour and fun in Duke, the essence of which was carried over to it's new incarnation. Of course DNF wasn't perfect and I have complaints of my own, but it was certainly worth playing and undeserving of widespread scorn. If I'm brutally honest, I think it's better than Gearbox's other effort, Borderlands.

Going to jump on the Alpha Protocol bandwagon. Seriously, any critic who says it railroads you into a guns blazing route has no clue what they're talking about. Yes, even Brayko can be easily beaten with a stealth-type character. Of course, it helps if you did some traipsing through Taiwan first.
