now all games seem to just follow the rote and routine of each respective genre with not much innovation, the only game I thought which broke the mold was Portal
But games can convey emotion and atmosphere much better these days. They are far more captivating now, no doubt.

Do you buy these used or something Il? Speaking of Rampage TD, I remember when I was like 10, that game was my whole summer! Unlocking the monsters was so fun!

lol I vaguely remember this game.

I should try to find it.

Aren't you like a dirty cop in the game and you can take drugs that make the screen all trippy.

you either be a good cop or a bad cop

you have to take the drugs anyway if you're good, as you're undercover

Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions. I'm playing it on Wii, which ruins the experience with most multi-platform games, but it's actually pretty badass.
