There are a lot of other games out there I've played, but some I haven't got the chance to experience fully.
Also, I think you missed this guy's post. HoN is the "pretty, updated graphics" version of DotA in nearly all respects, and it costs $30 up front, while LoL is the "free" take on the same concept, with almost entirely new original stuff. In terms of MOBAs, you could think of Counterstrike and Unreal Tournament as FPS MOBAs, as they really aren't truly MMOs in the sense MapleStory is.

I didn't miss it, but I just asked him what MOBA meant and what category they would fall into, but he never responded :<
Anyway, updating now.

*=Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal are my least favorite of the series. If you want to play it, you can. I just don't recommend playing it myself.
Edit A: Wow, I am a freaking idiot for not recommending Battletoads. Battletoads is the hardest video game ever, but the Mega Drive version is much easier than the NES version.
Edit B: Updated for Wario Land games.

It may be HARD, but its FUN!

Recommending Silent Hill the first because I completed yesterday and it was great.
Silent Hill | Horror | Puzzle | PS1, PlayStation Store (PlayStation 3 and PSP)
Vidyagames Recommendation Thread - ChaosCorpse - 2010-09-08
Seems you are missing a few that I had in the Recommended by tab. Namely these:
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past | SNES
Super Mario RPG | SNES
Super Smash Bros. | N64
Super Smash Bros. Melee | Gamecube
Super Smash Bros. Brawl | Wii
Cave Story | Wii (Undo this for me for PC, as I have no experience with that version)
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX | GBC
Also, "The Munchables" is for the Wii, not the Gamecube. Can't recommend it just yet since I haven't finished it, but Summon Night: Swordcraft Story is listed twice.
Anyway, seconding the following.
Tetris | NES
Starcraft: Brood War | PC
Super Mario All Stars | SNES
Sekien Densetsu 3 | SNES (I'm surprised I didn't say this earlier, I would've sworn I did.)
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker | Gamecube
Metroid Fusion | GBA
Advance War | GBA
One last thing, I didn't recommend Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth just yet as what I said was the "trilogy". I may be able to change that soon as I get closer to finishing it however.

It wasn't listed on the Gamecube section.
It came on out Gamecube first anyway. Which is also the superior versions.

Parasite Eve 1. Parasite Eve 2.
Vidyagames Recommendation Thread - Piggy 2.0 - 2010-09-30
Recommending Psychonauts. How this isn't on the list already confounds me.

MOBA is something i didnt hear of till Riot (Devs at LoL) used it. But i guess RTS/MOBA is the most fitting category.
And sorry that i didnt reply, i guess i didnt see your reply, thought i skimmed the thread trough, my bad. x.x
Vidyagames Recommendation Thread - SuperNerd - 2010-11-17
Man there are a ton of games that should be added, but I'll start with a few:
God of War - Action/Adventure - Playstation 2
God of War 2 - Action/Adventure - Playstation 2
God of War 3 - Action/Adventure - Playstation 3
The God of War series has got to be one of the best game trilogies of all time, IMO. The story, the settings, and the characters are excellent. You gotta love hack'n'slashing through armies of enemies, gutting centaurs and fighting in some of the most amazing looking and interactive boss fights you'll ever see.
Dead Space - Horror/Sci-Fi - Playstation 3
I have no idea how Dead Space isn't on this list yet, while Resident Evil 4 and such sit up there. Dead Space brings back the horror genre for gaming. The story draws you in from the start. It's incredibly atmospheric, with the flickering lights, all the space stuff, metal sounds--you're always feeling extremely paranoid, no matter where you go. It is a must buy if you enjoy horror games, and even if you don't, buy it anyways, because it's one of the best games the PS3 has to offer.
