Chris Plante delivers this feature that lists game titles with mini or meta games contained within that are strong enough to stand on their own. There are some omissions (e.g. only one of the Final Fantasy games listed - and *gasp* it isn't chocobo racing), so be sure to let him know what should have been included at content@ugo.com

These are the best games within games. Not the best old games ported into new games. Nor the best games from mini-game collections. No, these are the bonus time wasters that designers toiled with on the side (or interns were tossed as a bone). These are those Easter eggs nestled in in-game arcades. These are the games that made you forget you were playing a game within another game.
