Gems of this generation

Joystiq has a great run-down of what it considers to be the hidden gems of this generation of computer games consoles. Among those on the list is perennial fave Ico, the critically acclaimed Beyond Good and Evil and the surprising Fahrenheit (oddly titled Indigo Prophesy in the North American version). It's also great to see the indie-developed Alien Hominid included too. It would be so healthy for the games industry to support its non-blockbuster small studios for innovative challengers to the dominant sequel model.

There are many superb titles that languished behind the headlines of other, often better-funded projects that weren't mentioned, and as the post's author Ross Miller explains, their list isn't complete. Anyone have any other suggestions for excellent yet under-celebrated games which lit up our current generation of consoles?
