That video's ancient by internet standards but I still hear it mentioned when people talk about fighting game tournaments. I'm told they removed the parry mechanic from the forth game, which is a shame.
I've been replaying two of my favourite games - Bioshock and Super Metroid. Both feature atmospheric worlds that feel complete, encourage exploration and both use the same model of familiar environments opening up in new ways after upgrades.
I think Metroid's influence on games, particularly the upgrades opening up environments in new ways, has been huge - even last summer's biggest game was essentially Metroid with Batman.
Aside from that, I picked up the (now discontinued) Metroid Prime Trilogy, Wipeout HD Fury for a tenner and was the only person in my store not to buy Mass Effect 2.
