I know some people are funny about Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine and Kirby's Avalanche being altered US versions of Puyo Puyo games. This was one of the first Sonic spin offs that still being played today. It's loosely based on The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon show. All the opponents are pulled from the show. Majority of them only appeared in the first episode. Sure they screwed up coloring Dr. Robotnik to a degree. The limited background of mostly being rocks might turn some people away. But I can promise you everything else this game does truly delivers. The soundtrack with the sound effects absolutely amazing. You get a good amount of modes to play. I always loved the password system that does cover every difficulty. Despite Sonic no where in the actual game. It's a rather addicting licensed puzzle game. You get some rememberable dialogue from your opponents. I felt the game the most fun competing against an friend or family member. There's just something about that always stuck with me. Yes the AI will cheat to a degree. The key is quickly adapt during matches. Especially when they start hitting you with huge combos. Considering it's among the first Sonic spin off games it's a timeless classic that's been in several compilation games.

Blood Bowl
Blood BowlBlood Bowl is a combination of a tactical and sports game. The basics are extremely simple: two teams, one ball. The team that carries the ball into the opponent's end zone scores a touchdown, the team with the most touchdowns at the end of the game is the winner. However, it’s how you decide to do this that makes things interesting, the ends justify the means! It’s not just the players you have at your disposal either. You can bribe the referee to look the other way as you cripple or trample annoying opponents and hire illegal wizards to give you a hand directly from the crowd… Blood Bowl severely tests the finest tacticians' strategies. There are many races to accommodate every player’s profile (23 in the Chaos Edition, 20 in the Legendary Edition, 9 in the Standard Edition) and even more strategies for experimenting. Winning a game requires a strong game-sense and a lot of self-control. For the player's enjoyment, omnipresent humour and the use of spells, weapons, and other non-regulatory actions place Blood Bowl outside of the classic sport simulation genre.
