Honorable Mention - Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour (Gamecube, 2003)

"MSG what is this, how are you not even including the best Mario Golf game in your list?! You're the golf guy!"
First off, this is my list, how did you manage to get a question into my write-up?
Second, no it's not, shut up. Uh..... spoilers, I guess.

I honestly don't remember why I have such middling feelings about this game. I vaguely remember something about it just not feeling right? Something about the physics were really wonky. I also think I didn't care about the courses that much? I looked up the courses and I literally don't remember any of these. Many of the later courses had Mario-themed hazards, like Thwomps, Piranha Plants, and Bob-ombs, which makes me think I was irked by the lack of realistic golf at the time. Teenager me was weird.

I had wondered about whether I actually had disdain about this game, or whether I'm totally misremembering, and thought about picking the game back up years ago, but my niece stole my copy over a decade ago, and I never cared enough to bother buying a new one or something something something Dolphin. Anyway, I'm gonna give it the benefit of the doubt and at least HM it.

Honorable Mention - Winning Eleven 9 (PS2, 2005)

For a decently long period from about 2003 to 2010, I was a HUGE fan of soccer video games. FIFA, Pro Evolution Soccer, and even Football Manager (though that one was a one-off, because it just wasn't for me). I think overall, I actually enjoy FIFA more as a series, but I don't think I had quite as much fun with any of their individual games as I did with the PES entry, Winning Eleven 9.

Picking up some lower class club in League One or League Two and shooting them up the leagues by buying into some cheaper, younger talents and hoping they work out was a ton of fun. I distinctly remember Samuel Eto'o taking the soccer world by storm in my games. I always made sure that guy was someone I transferred in, because he always turned into a star. I remember I'd be hanging out at a friend's house and several of us would be there, doing our own thing, and I'd just be sitting in a room writing down potential transfers I'd want to bring in. They'd go outside and do something and come back and I've got this big sheet of paper with stats on it and they were just like "what the fuck are you doing, dude". Those were the days.....
