I rarely play new games and often just (re)play classics.

Super Mario RPG - 9/10. A true classic indeed. Nearly perfect in all marks. The only thing that keeps it from becoming truly perfect is the lack of difficulty and its shortness. Being able to carry only so many items is also quite frustrating.

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - 9/10. Another classic. Does everything great, and its quality goes without saying.

Shikigami no Shiro 2 - 8/10. A mighty fine shmup on the DC. Music is fun and there's enough bullet hell to keep you occupied until you get around to playing the next Cave title. It's Japanese only, but there rarely is a language barrier in shmups. The difficulty is spot-on and the gameplay is great. It uses a Tension Battle System in which your points multiplier increases as you brush bullets, which keeps things exciting and gives you motive to brush mazes of bullets rather than just dodging everything.
