unknown games that should be mainstream?

[sneezure]

What games that you play do you wish were discovered by a much larger group? for me, Garrys Mod's Trouble in Terrorist Town is my favorite game ever. Its a small group of traitors (who can buy special weapons) trying to kill the innocents without being found out as a traitor, with detectives (with dna scanners and special equip)using his dna scanner to find the approxamite position of killers, its complex, and one of the funniest and most addicting games ive ever played. i wish the community knew about it.

Sounds like a version of AvP

Myself I wish more people played Dark Messiah of Might and Magic when it came out since I found it very fun and had extremely good multiplayer(only lacked the player base for it :/)

High five! Does anyone still play that? Cause dam I want to play that arena game mod again.

Oh and OP stop telling people about TTT it only works because so few people play; there's too many griefers and RDM as it is.

 

[sneezure]

yea, I know its the community that makes TTT work, its just disappointing that there aren't tons of full servers, or a bigger community. I totally understand that mo people mo problems. The other game is PR, Project Reality. Hardcore war gamers only.

Mount and Blade. Its the best game no one has ever heard of.

 

[UnknownGunslinger]

Games like the Soul Reaver series, Neverhood, Vampire: The Masquerade and Blade of Darkness - Games I grew up with which are brilliant and yet almost no one ever heard of.
Seriously go pick up any one of those classics and I promise you unique gameplay and story and the loss of all foreseeable social life

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA a Reckless Disregard for Gravity. I can only describe it as a futuristic skydiving game.

Monday Night Combat. Third person Multiplayer gaming meets Tower Defense.

Okami. Do I really need to explain this? Really? It's like, the most famous underrated game ever.

I absolutely adored that game.

Never actually tried the multi though...

This god damn game, swear to god it was made to test how far it could push before I ending up punching the monitor ._.

Mount and Blade. Its the best game no one has ever heard of.

After buying WFAS I can say there is a good reason for that.

For me it would have to be Serious Sam, only 2 people outside of the net that I know have played it.

WFAS is crap though.

Hahaha, I know, it gets incredibly frustrating. Especially that Summer level!>.<

Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front for the PS2.

It's basically 'SOCOM with mecha' and it's a fantastic, if unpolished game.

I'd LOVE to see a squeal made with some proper love and care given to it.

Monday Night Combat. Third person Multiplayer gaming meets Tower Defense.

Loved that game. I played it on XBLA when it came out and it was a lot of fun.

I loved this game, I just got it after remembering it suddenly, and I thought it was awesome! I don't know why so few people talk about it

Toribash.

Recently found it myself, Combines a lot of things I like, Strategy, (Fake)Martial arts, And Rag dolls.

Easy to download "Replays" and account creation is simple.

Hah, so many games I can think of.

Most of Steam's indie library, really.

One I would point to is Zeno Clash, solely because it does First Person Hand-To-Hand Combat better than any game I've ever played.

Heh, I bought Dark Messiah twice (First for PC and then for Xbox when my PC died). Was a good game. Sword combat was fun. Servers were long dead when I got there though.

I played that once on the Escapist server I think. It was really really fun, and extremely tense, as everyone got more and more jumpy until people started getting shooting each other by accident and aggressively questioning anyone who left the main group.

My suggestion is Dwarf Fortress. I know it's fairly well known, but it has so much potential for popularity. Unfortunately, it seems like it will be remaining as just potential as the creators seem to resist all attempts to make it more accessible.

The X space-sim series.
Never found anyone else that has played any of the games before.... and I love them.
