Metroid Fusion

Metroid Fusion is the fourth main installment of the Metroid series, released by Nintendo in 2002 for the Game Boy Advance. It was made by the same team behind Super Metroid, and the games are similar in a number of aspects; the most notable difference is Fusion's relatively linear nature. Though it was widely acclaimed by critics from the beginning, Metroid fans weren't quite as fond of it at first - however, the game's reputation has grown with time, and it's often considered one of the crown jewels of the GBA's library.

Fusion made its first contest appearance in 2010's Game of the Decade contest. Its first poll was Day Three of the vote-ins, where it finished third (behind God of War II and Resident Evil 5); as a result, it received a 14-seed, the highest a vote-in game could receive. After that, it lost in Round One to Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, though it managed to garner a surprisingly high percentage of the votes (nearly 45%)!
