I may be jumping the gun here, but I would say that Metroid Prime looks poised to be the IDMest game of the year.
I'm also a big fan of the Wipeout series, but I don't have a Playstation anymore so I was forced to switch over to ExtremeG3 for my ridiculously fast futuristic racing game fix. Now, can someone explain why they aren't lining up top-tier IDM artists for the soundtracks to these games? I guess for some people, the Ministry of Sound soundtrack on EG3 is pretty exciting, but come on now... what if Autechre were to write some generative tracks that react to some things happening on the screen? Yes, that's right, it'd be rad.
I've never tried it, but now that I think about it, Plaid does seem like a logical choice to accompany Super Monkey Ball. You should really upgrade to Super Monkey Ball 2. They have really improved their formula for rad little games with monkeys in little balls... and they have Monkey Baseball now too! And the story in the single player game is the most delightfully retarded thing I've ever experienced on a television screen.
