I owned both 3 and 4 back in the day, and loved them to death. I used to play part 1 on an emulator all the time as well. I can't remember part 2... probably because it sucked. Haha.
But, I've always liked how Wario is like a bizarre, deformed, fatter, heinous version of Mario. I also like how Wario doesn't bullshit around with saving damsels in distress, instead his main goal in any game is always his greed. Coin collecting in a Wario game is always much more fulfilling to me than in a Mario title. In short, he's a badass.

Luckily the game only cost $39.99 upon initial release, and was soon dropped to $20 - $15 after being torn to shreds by critics. It's funny 'cause every site I've checked seems to agree with you, and considers the game mediocre, yet when I check the user reviews, most of them praise it even higher than I do.
All I know is that I'm having an absolute blast with this one so far. Okami does look pretty fun though. I love Capcom.

If you can't find it, I'll mail you a copy! Haha. I mean, it's easy as hell to find, again, you can probably find it for $3-5. Imagine Streets of Rage, but oh, COMPLETELY FUCKING INSANE. You're constantly running, spanking people, taking baseball bats to assholes, breaking everything, including ninjas...

God Hand looks fucking awesome! Definitely something I'm going to try and hunt down at one of my local shops. because I just checked GameStop.com and it's going for $13 at their stores, and the closest one that has it is half an hour away.
Where are you finding this so damn cheap? Pawn shops?

Oh god yes! I've always hated Halo, although I've never attempted to play any of the sequels. I'm not too big a fan of FPS's in the first place, but Halo rubbed a raw nerve the wrong way with me from the first time I played it (before it was a household name). It's actually quite odd to me how beloved the franchise is.

I've played all 3 and they're so, so, so insanely boring. I've played 2 online for hours, trying to figure out what the appeal is. I have no idea honestly.

Have you tried TimeSplitters 2? It's made by pretty much the same guys who made Goldeneye and is pretty damn similar. It also has a great roster of wacky characters, fun battle modes, weapons, and a pretty damn well-developed mapmaker.
This reminds me, I need to get my hands on another copy of Perfect Dark soon. Easily the best FPS on the N64.

Do you have a boot disc, or a modded 'cube?
...
All in all, I'm still more than a little peeved that my XBOX crashed, and I can't play my beloved GunValkyrie.
