4) Pokemon Black & White Oh Pokemon, that silly biggest franchise ever. I loved the anime as a kid, but the games didn't really interest me much. My case of PokeMania hadn't become terminal until the release of Gen 5. I finally understood the hype, and Lilligant became my favorite Pokemon of all.

5) Sonic the Fucking Hedgehog YEAH WAY PAST COOL I think it's the very first video game I've ever played. Came on one of SEGA's many multipack game collections, but none of the other games offered caught my love as much as this lovable blue asshole.
