Hidden Gems

[CrashTestZombie]

Mega Man Legends 1 and 2

/thread. Best Playstation games ever.

Also, did the Bonnes ever remind you of Team Rocket?

Contact for the DS. It's a nifty little RPG with some pretty cool ideas, not to mention some great artwork.

Is it? I almost bought it the other day for a ten spot. I might have to go back and pick it up.

I recommend it if it interests you, I've heard other people rip it to shreds. I'm not really an RPG person but Contact has a certain quality about it that's hard to match. The only problem I have with it is that it's a bit of a grind-fest in some places, but other than that, it's fine. Easily worth a tenner.

Hmmm... Many games!

Viewtiful Joe
Eternal Darkness
Killer7
Planescape: Torment
Baten Kaitos
Ikaruga
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat

And others I would guess. All of these are games that didn't really sell all that well, but I loved them.

Hells highway isnt a hidden gem. Saints Row 2 Isnt a hidden gem. S.T.A.L.K.E.R isnt a hidden gem.

When was the last time any of those games were ever mentioned in "Best of 2008" lists? When was the time you saw a fan thread of these games? When was the last the last time some one/a group of people said those were "the shit"?

"Hidden gem" is a phrase that usually means underappreciated, and to put it bluntly, HH, SR2, and Clear Sky are very underappreiciated.

Well, saints row 2 you could just look to Yahtzees review. Hell's Highway might aswell have a fanclub where I live
And S.T.A.L.K.E.R has had many fan threads.

Harvest Moon. I've only played the one for GBA and the one for the wii/gamecube, but I think they are both awesome.

Aside from Yahtzee's review, SR2 has only been noticed as a GTA clone.

I have a HH fanclub where I live too. So far it's just me.

I havn't been on the inter-web for a while, and for the brief time I was on it, I've only seen a few S.T.A.L.K.E.R. related threads.

I hope we can at least agree that the games are good...right?

 

[TheDoctor455]

Ico (though I haven't finished it yet)
Shadow of the Colossus
Torchlight (its more addictive that Borderlands, which is saying something)
Chainz (look it up)
Psychonauts (most people I know have never even heard of it)
The Path
Gish
Ceville (the funniest point-and-click adventure game since DOTT)
Abe's Oddysesy
Abe's Exoddus
Dark Messiah (just for its gameplay, the story is riddled with cliches)
Overlord
Overlord 2

...
That's about all I can think of for the moment.

I loved kicking people into spikes and what-not on Dark Messiah =P
Torchlight seems have been a hidden gem but every day its getting more and more popular.

Winback and Perfect Dark, both for the N64
