Video Games you cannot criticize.

I'd say Psychonauts, I loved every second of it.
Also, Monkey Island 1, 2 and 3. I've replayed them so many times, I can remember the solutions to the puzzles in my sleep, yet for some reason, I still keep going back to them... probably to laugh at the witty humour all over again.
Apart from those, I have a couple of games that I would deem near perfect (at least for my style of play), but other people find them deeply flawed (such as the earlier Elderscrolls games and Fallout 1 & 2).

HL2 pissed me off no end. Only the final level justified having played through everything leading up to it. Maybe if I'd played it when it was first released I would have a different opinion. I much preferred the original, without the gimmicky physics and misleading level design.GammaZord said:
OT: I would have difficulty criticising Deus Ex. If I had to, though, I guess it'd be a couple of points in the game where I'm forced to make a decision in a certain way. A lot of people disliked the combat in Deus Ex but I thought it was really well done.
The Fallout Games (except BoS) and all Valve games( except Ricochet). and Tetris. And the legend of Zelda n64 games.
As stated many times above, no game is above criticism. Having said that I would gladly champion Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones against any and all slander. The only flaw I can think of is it is too short- the shortest of the three for some reason. Oh, and the 1st boss may seem quite unfair on the first and second playthrough with his one-hit-kill attacks but that's very a very small nitpick, plus with the Dagger of Time no kill is certain.
I cant criticize only those i haven't played. Other than that every game has flaws, every game has little things you could nitpick at, even those i really do enjoy. Even more so, the more i enjoy a game, the more eager i am to point out its flaws.
Nothing is sacred.

Hm. I had to think about this one, because it is an interesting question. And, it made me think back on EVERY SINGLE game I've every played. So, here was what came to mind:
For the Original Nintendo system
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
The Untouchables
For the Nintendo Gameboy
Final Fantasy Legend
Final Fantasy Adventure (I noticed Gameboy had a thing about a game title being 'Adventure'; the first Castlevania game for the Gameboy was titled 'Adventure' as well)
For Super Nintendo
Dungeons and Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun
For Nintendo 64
1080 (Side note; I didn't play alot of N64, and this was the first game I played on it. For some reason, all of the other games for the N64 seemed quite clunky compared to this one)
I couldn't remember any 'flawless' games from the Sega Genesis, so, the Hedgehog loses here.
For the computer
Dungeons and Dragons: Icewind Dale
Vampire the Masqurade: Redemption
Sanitarium
PS1
Darkstone
Diablo
PS2
Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land
Silent Hill 2
Fatal Frame
Mister Mosquito
Dungeons and Dragons: Baldur's Gate

Portal - Just a really well-crafted experience. Others have doubtlessly championed it far more aptly than I could.
The entire Civilization series from II on (haven't played I) - They define their own genre. Honestly, they can really only be compared to each other.
Defcon - "The World's first Genocide 'em up". One of Introversion's best titles. Fun, and its deliberately limited goals & scope ensure that it does them well.
Team Fortress II - The most fun I've ever had in a multiplayer FPS.
God of War - Best played topless. If Kratos doesn't wear a shirt, I don't wear a shirt.
