The original arcade game, which can be emulated with MAME, found on Xbox Live for the 360, played through the not-as-good-but-still-really-fun NES version (TMNT 2), or if you're really hardcore you can get on eBay and try to buy the old arcade machine.

Turtles in Time, the second arcade game, is also really cool. The SNES version (TMNT 4) is on par with the arcade version. This can also be emulated with MAME or an SNES emulator such as ZSNES.

TMNT 3 for the NES is also really good. It took a good thing with the port of the original arcade game and took it to it's NES-level limits. Of course, this can also be emulated.

Hyperstone Heist, while not my favorite, is still also a really good game that you can find on the Genesis or can be emulated. It's similar to Turtles in Time with the graphics and music but goes by a different story.

I've only played the first two Gamecube/PS2 TMNT games based off the 2k3 series. I prefer the first one. You'll have to ask someone else about the third one and any others, though. I think there were 4 altogether.

The PS2/Xbox 360/Wii TMNT game based off the newest movie is like a much easier version of Prince of Persia. It's got a lot of acrobatics and rooftop running in it with some cool action sequences throughout the levels. Still not my favorite, but I still play it from time to time.

Out of all the recent games, my favorite is the TMNT movie game for Gameboy Advance. It plays like an oldschool TMNT beat 'em up but you can level up the turtles and call in back-up for restoring health or helping take out a few enemies when things get tough. It follows the story pretty closely and each Turtle has strengths and weaknesses of their own which makes playing as different Turtles create different challenges and points-of-ease. You can also pick up and throw downed enemies or take weapons from emeies you've knocked out completely and use them for a short period of time similar to River City Ransom on the NES.

If you're really wanting to kick it oldschool, you can play the original TMNT game on the NES. Most people would'nt recommend it, though, because the challenge is waaaaay up there like it's Level 99 of Tetris or something. Pretty cool if you like a lot of challenge, though.
