1. Transformers (PS2)
Who doesn't like Transformers? Well, you might not like them so much when they're used as a vehicle, no pun intended, for product placement and gimmicky, unnecessary revival of a series that has been going strong for two decades. I'm looking at you Michael Bay. While the movie wasn't that bad, the game based on it is extremely mediocre, and a nasty distraction from the one good whack at a transformers game this generation.
An extremely solid title with expansive environments, strong variety in weapons and items, polished graphics considering the console it's on, and very fun run-and-gun style gameplay. My only gripes playing this were the limiting 3 transformers you're able to play as, and the sharp difficulty curve. Other than those, this is a strong recommendation to anyone who's any sort of a fan, and even action gamers who might not be. Besides, it's around 20 dollars now anyways. Fo' (Out of five) Konatas.
2. The Hulk: Ultimate Destruction (PS2/Xbox/PC)
Next in line is everyone's favorite green meanie, the hulk. This guy's fuckin' pissed and it's no wonder being as how tight those jeans must be on his junk. This title is extremely fun to play. It's a fantastic example of a licensed game because of the fact that it'd be an awesome game even if it wasn't about the hulk and his pissed off doings. The storyline is decent enough to hold your interest, and the gameplay is everything you should expect out of being able to play this guy.
Cars crumple like paper under your strength, the streets line with cracks and show nice variations of damage as you rampage throughout. It's very open ended, mission based, and the learning curve is extremely easy. Just simply beat the shit out of everything that does, or does not move. Here's to looking forward to Radical Entertainment's next gen game, Prototype, which will feature the same engine and concept. Four and a HALF Konatas for this kickass use of a license.

3. The Punisher (PS2/Xbox/PC)
Frank Castle's one bad motherfucker, and if you don't believe me, you haven't seen him stab a guy straight in the face with a combat knife and then turn around to stick his buddy's ear to a drill.
This game capture's this anti-hero's gruesome nature of justice perfectly. The executions and interrogations are brutal, and they did not skimp on the gore. You'll never be more than a minute away from seeing bucketfuls of blood, and being able to blow off limbs as your enemies scream in agony is a testament to the lack of morality in this true-to-comic incarnation.
While the graphics haven't aged well, and the storyline feels a bit empty and uninteresting at parts, it's a good deal at it's bargain bin price nowadays. If you're the kind of blood junkie sadist I am deep down, you'll lose your kicks of God of War soon enough, and this is a wonderful adaptation of the Punisher to turn to. Three and a half Kona's for this more-than-decent title.
