Revisiting old games

[Impresario]

What old games or not so old previously released console games are you playing for the first time or revisiting?

I played the first Shenmue back on the Dreamcast but for some reason I never picked up Shenmue II for the Xbox. I recently purchased it for $12. It includes a 90-minute DVD that refreshes the original story through cut-scenes. Holy moly, I forgot what a great and ambitious series this is. Shenmue II is really innovative and accomplishes things that more current games don't even try. The graphics are a little dated but still seems pretty stylish - at least to me. Even with all the recent games that have dynamic cities Shenmue II's world just sucks you in and is incredibly immersive. I hope that Fable evokes the same feelings when I play it. What other old gems are any of you playing now?

Pretty much everything I have on the GC. I bought it at the beginning of June. Right now I'm going through Wind Waker and Ikaruga. I really tried to like Metroid Prime but after getting to 40% in two different games I just couldn't bring myself to continue. Normally I don't mind backtracking but there's way too much of it in MP, even more than in previous Metroid games, so I sold it.

I played F-Zero GX to death earlier this summer, and I just picked up Super Smash Brothers Melee, but I haven't played it much yet.
