Meh, Wild Arms 5 was like the 2nd worst game in the series to me! If you wanted good gameplay from the series, XF's the one to go for and that outdoes WA5 on story and music too. Any case, mine are:
Yakuza 2 (PS2)
Bionic Commando (PC/PS3/360, the 3D one)
Infamous 2 (PS3)
Mainly because Yakuza 2 nails what the Yakuza series is good at really well, but is better as an introduction than 3-4 because the pacing is a lot faster and delivers on some amazing action and characterization upfront, so it does a great job at getting you invested into the later games.
Bionic Commando was incredibly fun, the swinging system is the most fluid one I've seen in a game and gives you some insane mobility, and the gameplay mixups between shooting, melee, throwing, and taking advantage of your mobility in huge environments just make this gameplay-wise the best third person shooters I've ever played.
And Infamous 2 just seemed to get sorta forgotten due to being an early year release and the late year AAA titles just eclipsed everyone's thoughts on what came out that year. Improved on pretty much every single aspect of the first game.
