Spiderman 2 has got to be the sleeper hit of the year. The sensation of flying through the air with that "sort-of-control" feeling of going around a too-sharp corner... so fun. Plus, exploring all of manhattan to scale with no loading times... it's very cool.
The missions are standard fare, the many side crimes are repetitive, but over all, I've logged about 50 hours trying to get all the exploration tokens, beating all 150(!) races, picking up all the hint markers, delivering all the pizzas, etc etc etc... wow it's fun.
Ninja Gaiden was very dissapointing to me. I also find it very difficult to believe that you beat it on hard in 9 hours.
Samurai Warriors is fun for some good old fashioned button mashing. Just that game you pick up at 1130 at night because you don't want to think, you just want to game on.
I'm surprised no one mentioned Psi-Ops. I just picked up this little gem yesterday, and I've been very impressed with it so far. It's the first game running on the HL2 physics, and it's very impressive. Pick up dudes with your mind, shoot them, then throw them into other dudes, or into an explosive barrell near other dudes, or off a building, or... anything. Total creativity in death. Fun times.
