Favourite UNHEARD of Games*

[IamSofaKingRaw]

Try not to list any games from like the 1990's and I know a lot of these threads are made but this time you CANNOT list one that has been listed.

Mine is Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. Its probably a FACT that I was amongst the 5 people that actually played this game. It was/is still one of the best adventure games I've ever played. It combines action and platforming (controlling Sphinx) and puzzle soling (thats REAL PUZZLE solving, not push block here jump on switch, you'll genuinely need to think) for the mummy character. The story between them both and how they come together make it a great game.

Read IGN's review it got an 8.5

PS: Legend of Dragoon, Chrono Trigger/Cross, and the rest of Squares awesome PS1 RPG lineup was most likely played by a majority of us. Try to list a random game you bought that surprised you.

Whiplash on the PS2.

I've posted this before on the site and got quoted about 13 times asking me what it was about. It never sold well but it's still one of the funniest and greatest games I've ever played.

I've also mentioned Theme Hospital amongst friends and gotten totally blank looks back. Although I'm guessing most people here will have played it so I'll suggest it in a half hearted manner, see what happens.

The Suffering. One of the scariest survival action horror games ever made. I've yet to play a game as scary as The Suffering. It's set in a prison which is scary enough on it's own with out the various hell spawn running around killing everyone.

I'll have to revisit this thread after I finish Sharin No Kuni, after which I'll know if it counts as one of my favourite games.

Arcana Heart, a 2d fighter for the PS2. It seemed like I was the only one who had that game. It was a good fighter.

Um, I enjoy Pirates, viking, and Knights 2, im assuming its fairly unknown cause there's only like 10 servers. Download it, it's free

Does Second Sight count? It is pretty unheard of, I think. It is by the same team that made Time Splitters, except it is a Metal Gear Solid-esque stealth game, with one of the most surprising twists I have yet to find in a game.

Okami Oh wait, everyone knows about that.

I really liked Pacman Worlds 2 and 3. Never played the first one, but...what? Stop laughing!

 

[wrecker77]

DAMN IT. I just wrote a whole thing about sphinx thinking no one could possibly use that. Well played....

Steambot chronicles. I cannot stress enough how cool this game was, a great gem. And that trailer for the sequel that is in limbo right now.... Holy crap. Balloon mechsuit firetrucks are the coolest thing ever.

NOSFERATU wrath of malachi great concept okay\acceptable execution this game demands a remake

Awesome game. Half my friends have played it.

So, the answer is The Dark Eye. Four Edgar Allen Poe stories wrapped together, three played through the eyes of the murderer AND the murdered. All in claymation. It's the definition of mindscrew.

Nice use of blood, too. Not very much, so what's there is much more effective.

Hey, I liked Pacman Worlds 2 back in the day! It was a fun little obscure platformer. Good gosh, I have not thought of that game in years...

Indigo Prophecy. More of a movie than a game, and was made by the guys who brought us last years Heavy Rain.

 

[rangerman351]

Republic commando for the original xbox. God I love that game. Whenever I mention it though,I sware that I can sense the ocean of "what" about to appear. I know alot of you guys haveplayed it, but in my perspective there ya go.

Steambot Chronicles was awesome! I played that game all the time years ago. I hardly remember it, to be honest, but I remember I had great fun with it.

Anyways, I loved Project: Snowblind years back, and I still think it's great. I don't think I've ever met someone else who's played it, but I'm sure somebody else has.

Oh! I played the second one! I thought it was nice.

For my game I would say Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. At first the controls were messed up so I couldn't play. A few years latter I played again, finished it and liked it. (except the wastelands levels.) I only know 2 other people that have played that game.Now the company got acquired by Blizzard and can't make a sequel if they really were working on it.

Toy Commander....oh those were the days.....here's to wishing it goes on XBLA

Come on, everyone's heard of that game.

Thousand Arms was pretty awesome back in the day, what with the dating simulator and classic humor. It aged pretty horribly though.
And I don't know how known it is, but I hear no one talking about Jeanne d'Arc on the PSP.

A little SNES game called Lufia 2 (or Lufia 2: The Rise of the Sinistrals if you're being a fag). Frigging amazing RPG which I prefer over both Chrono Trigger and Legend of Mana (which, if you knew me, is BIG).

Please please try it. And yes I realise its from the 90's but who cares.

Did you know they made an Action RPG re-imagining on the DS? It's okay to be honest, not really as good as the SNES version.

Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean is one of my top 3 favourite games of all time.
