Dungeon Keeper & Warzone 2100.

Baten Kaitos Origins, the prequel to the first, really was a great RPG. It's battle system was original and fun, not to mention must faster than the first, they fixed the voice-acting to be, you know, good, and the plot was actually really great. But it got almost no attention at all...Le sigh ;_;

I keep meaning to pick it up.

Shadow of the colosses

Bigfoot!

Wild Arms was good as well, hella fun game and i really liked the graphics too.
Shadow of the Colossus is apparantly actually a reaaaally good story.

[Roto13]

Not so much story as atmosphere. There's barely any story at all.

[demondude]

Yeah i agree it was very atmospheric it did a very good job at making you feel alone

[Agrias]

Really? People have been telling me its such a sad story and its really good, i havent played it yet.

[Roto13]

The premise is that a girl is dead and you're trying to bring her back to life by killing giants. I guess that's kind of sad, but there's not much there. :P I'll let you play my copy.

lol w00t i less than three you Rhody!!! Also, harvest moon isnt getting much publicity :S

Robotech Battlecry (not to be confused with the weak FPS shooter that was Robotech Invasion:rolleyes2 )

Seriously it wasn't a bad game, it wasn't exactly what everyone wanted but it had the groundwork for what could have been a damn good series.

A sequel with larger enviroments, mutltiple mecha options (Destroids anyone?), multiplayer, and a revamped Guardian mode for the Veritechs (Like let's make it useful and playable this time:rolleyes2 ) and the game could be great.

Agreed, I really liked that game. The incredible amount of unlockables, and how difficult it is to pull some of them off just added to replay. As you said, not perfect, but pretty good. I'd add in a little difference to the stats of the various Veritechs as well, some of them were just way to similar to play. Destroids could be fun, but I see them the way I see Guardian Mode properly done: Little mobility, but a lot of firepower (currrently Guardian Mode has the worst mobility, lacking both the Fighter's speed and the Battleoid's maneuverability, but its firepower doesn't make up for it).

The story is simplistic, but it's told remarkably well when it is told.

And yeah, it is kinda sad.

Dungeon Keeper & Warzone 2100.

Warzone is pretty great, especially the WZ2100 Resurrection Project.


I think the Worms series is underappreciated in the states, though from what I've gathered it's pretty popular in England and thereabouts.

Oh, and Amplitude. Guitar Hero basically overshadows the other great work that Harmonix has put out, but Amplitude was one of their earlier games that is like one of the best arcade-y music games ever. Love it.

[demondude]

Nah worms isnt that popular in england i should know i live there

[Roto13]

I think Robotech: Battlecry had the potential to be a really good game, but a lot of the missions were pretty much the same. That got pretty old.
