Recommend a Game

inspired by L-I-C\'s movie thread

Recommend a game(s) that you think got overlooked and would be worth checking out.  Try to stick to the current generation of systems.

Skies of Arcadia: Legends (GC)
I played it back on the DC when it first came out and it quickly became my favorite RPG.  I bought it for my GC and went through it again, the only RPG I\'ve bothered play twice.  Since the DC days Skies has been replaced as my favorite RPG, but it still remains in my top three.  

The story is quite interesting but it\'s the characters that will keep you going.

Mark of Kri - Under rated PS2 game.

Would you mind mentioning why?  Perhaps some highlights of the game to at least spark some interest.

Mario vs Donkey Kong. Good, wholesome fun.

It\'s for GBA, but that\'s considered a current-gen handheld system.

Why? Oh. uhm..

Alright - the single most original and innovating fight system yet - which is to deep for me to explain. Great graphics, great stealth kills and plenty of extra\'s. Or an even shorter answer is, because I said so.

I never could finish \'Skies of Arcadia\', not sure why. I bought it release day and never bothered to finish it.

Dragonball Z Budokai 2:  I like it cause it\'s simple fighting and has a lot of characters.  The "Story Mode"  is alright I guess, but I like the arcade fighting mode.

beyond good & evil- another underated game that slipped under the radar..this game has a great storyline..original characters..and the world of hyllis is a live one..the towns you visit are full of life and people chattering...some of the stealth spots hurt it a little but it\'s an overall solid title...i just wish they would have went with the 1st jade model they created..the one they used was fine but i liked the 1st one better..

rise to honor--i know alot of cats have ripped on this game but i think it\'s a great game..it actually plays out like a jet-li film..the controls take a little getting used to but when you do get the hang of it,..you\'ll truly feel like you\'re in a john woo movie..only thing that hurts this title is the stealth part of it...and once you beat it, it has a decent amount of extras to unlock...this was another sleeper hit...

Here\'s my guilty pleasure game:





Lemmings 3-D for the PS1


This is a great game that really makes you use your head.  If you can get over the poor ps1 graphics, you might find this game very fun.

There are plenty of levels with themes from \'\'candy" to "horror movies."

The funny voice-overs and animations just add to the pleasure of solving the 3 dimensional puzzles.

There is a great satisfaction that comes with watching the last Lemming cross into the safe zone of a level you just beat.

Klonoa for the psx, and klonoa 2 dor the ps2. Quite possibly one of the best platform puzzle games ever.

Big fan of the Extreme-G series over the years.  XGIII for PS2 can be found for uber cheap.

Thats funny. The same exact thing happened to me. Got it at launch and then after a while just stopped playing it.

I wonder how it ended.

[Living-In-Clip]

I dont know. I have tried many times to start over and complete it, but I always lose interest. I guess I could go read an FAQ and find out how it ended...

... Third Strike is better.



But lesse... How \'bout Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram? One of my favorite Sega games of all time. Incredibly fast and very fun at high levels of play, great balance between all of the Virtuaroids, and some nifty extras(Twin Stick Controller support, Link Cable support, Replays).

... Hrm. Makes me sad that VO:Marz was such a disappointment. Can\'t believe Watari screwed up the formula so much, what was he thinking?
