Games you wonder if anyone else has played...

Goldeneye : Rogue Agent - I get the feeling everyone just igmnored it when they found out it wasn't linked to the Nintendo 64 game.

No, it just got ripped on for being linear, not emphasizing enough on the evil character bit, killing off James Bond, and such.

 

[ThaBenMan]

I never played The Neverhood, but I always wanted to after seeing an ad for it in PC Gamer. Although I did play Skullmonkeys, a sidescrolling platformer in the same setting, on the PS1. Great game, very funny.

And I also have played a demo of Drakan, it seemed pretty sweet. That was the one with the chick that could ride a dragon, right?

An obscure game of mine is Vampire: The Masquerade: Redemption. It's the same setting as V:TM: Bloodlines (which I've seen quite a few people on here mention), except you start in medieval times and then jump to the present later. It was pretty good, although that's before I was a "serious" gamer and wouldn't have known better.

Bujingai the forsaken city anyone?

Anyone play MDK 2? I think it sank like a stone when it was released, despite it being one of the best third person action games ever made. Shame, that.

dude i played that game. it rocked. a serious sense of humor and a bunch of fun ways to play. althoguh the doctor levels kinda sucked sometimes. but hell yeah playing as a janitor with a super suit or a mechanical chain smoking dog was chill. awesome game!

also ive played hydro thunder. thatss one of the best arcade games out there. i love the racing and im pretty good at it tooo. it was really a great game.

anyone ever play lego island? that game was terrific. a lot of fun and a better free roaming game than san andreas. thats right, i said it. what you gonna do about it. heres a couple more i want to know about. anyone played seaman? that was fun. you got yelled at by leonard nemoy in a fish body. also shenmue? or 2? those were great, and im currently working through 2. also anyone ever played gizmos and gadgets? it was one of those kids games that had you fnd peices of cars and things by solving puzzles and you had to use those peices to engineers faster vehicles to win races. that was an awesome game.

Yeah, I played MDK2 but I didn't think it was all that. The music rocked, and it was fun to a point, but I do remember getting irated with it after a while. I do remember the art direction being fantastic though. Way before Psychonauts.

I'm trying to play through Shenmue once again, before playing the second, but just can't get into it again. Shenmue feels like one of those experiences where, once you've played it round the first time, never again. Or maybe that's just me.

I had Hydro Thunder on the PSX, and that ruled. I've been meaning to get the DC version for a while. I just wish it were 4 players. Still; 2's better than 1.

I wish someone here would say they'd played Under Defeat.

 

[Lord Krunk]

Legend of Dragoon on the PS1. I searched far and wide for a copy, and I loved it.

Grim Fandango on the PC (Tim Schafer. nuff said. I think there was an escapist weekly about it not too long ago. They called it "The last horseman for adventure gaming." Too true...)

 

[_Janny_]

Army Men 2... I think playing with a bunch of green soldiers in a giant kitchen, shooting cockroaches is quite fun.

 

[Lioklian]

I would have to go with... Mount & Blade.

The community, while not small, is quite obscure. At least in my opinion... And I feel as though I am the only one who has EVER played it...

You can ride around, attack pirates, attack villages, attack castles, attack cities... You can attack pretty much anyone...

And the noises the weapons make when they bite into the flesh of those evil Nord bastards, wonderful!

Oh, and when you kill all the soldiers in a fortress/city, you can ask your king to give it to you! YAY!

The whole point of the game is to kill everyone... I think... It's still in it's beta, and you can only get up to level 6 without paying... And, in M&B, level 6 ain't gonna get you any where... But, at higher levels, it rocks!

Also, Sacrifice... Awesome game...

 

[Mourndark]

Uplink? One of the most atmospheric, nail-biting games I've played, despite (perhaps even because) being essentially a text adventure written by one bloke in his bedroom.

Aw, hell yeah. It wasn't one bloke in his bedroom though, it was Introversion, greatest indie game designers in the world. Defcon is also awesome, whilst Darwinia isn't really my cup of tea. I've never heard a bad thing about it though.

 

[the monopoly guy]

what about the Carnivores series? you hutned dinosaurs on islands chartered by dinocorp, they also made Carnivores Ice Age (you can guess what you hunted there)...anyway I really liked them (carnivores 1-2, Ice Age)...

 

[laikenf]

Winback: Covert Operations on the N64. Pretty Cool action packed shooter I must say.

 

[Xocrates]

Hogs of War - Worms 3D with pigs and voice-overs by Rick Mayal. The most amazing thing about the game was how it managed to get a Worms-style game to work in 3D, yet the Worms franchise still hasn't managed this itself.

The Fuck? I played Hogs of war a couple of times, and I can honestly say that Worms 3D played at least as good. The only advantage of Hogs was that it came out several years earlier.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto and Sacrifice were both Great, as is Darwinia (coming out on XBLA this fall I believe, along with Multiwinia)

As for games I don't know anyone else has played... Hmm... Dark Reign 2 was rather enjoyable, so was Mortyr

 

[danosaurus]

Oh, and Anachronox - game with an engine old even for its time, and very dated for now, but it had wit, charm, and humour (actually funny humour). I found it great!

Its pretty good, though kept crashing on my old machine so didnt get far into it before giving up in frustration.


GTA2 multiplayer. Yeah, GTA IV isnt the first GTA to have multiplayer (not including San Adreas' co-op crap). Anyone else give it a go?

Actually the original GTA had multiplayer too, only over a network so you had to have your PC's linked through serial or network cables. It was intense fun though, hunting down your mate and squishing them with your 2-D car mwuhahahaha GOURANGA!!!!

Personally I found it impossible to play any of the Worms 3D games due to the camera's tendency to suffer crippling epileptic seizures whenever it tried to serve its purpose, he said hyperbolising to emphasise his point.

 

[Gooble]

Midtown Madness 3-eventually got bored of driving round on my own, went online and about 6 ppl were on.

 

[stompy]

Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30. Heard of it, got it, and loved it. Though, practically no-one I know has heard of it, let alone played it.

 

[Le' Moog]

Theme hospital - only cause you couldn't get it for love nor money anywhere.

coughs and sneezes spread diseases.

I remember this one bit, where the receptionist said "a VIP has entered the building". 10 minutes later he was found walking into a wall just by the door ?
