Are you kidding, Call of Duty one of the best selling games of all time. How can you say it never took off???Kadoodle said:
Mini Ninjas.
What an excellent game for kids and adults. Excellently balanced gameplay, cute characters, challenging but never frustrating. It was a really great game.
I can't say it "tanked" in sales, but I missed the mark of warranting a sequel. Shame.

Psychonauts, Vanquish, Enslaved, Wartech: Senko no Ronde. Damn good games that just didn't sell.
Definitely Singularity, I don't think it was incredible, but it was a good experience with some interesting ideas that was totally overlooked.
So I'm not the only person who remembers Custom Robo and how awesome it was? Sweet. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle's Chao Garden was my obsession when I was younger, even if it probably wasn't a good game.aba1 said:
I could add to the many echoes of Psychonauts, Okami and Beyond Good and Evil, but honestly, and I'm ashamed to admit it, but I'm sad Blitz: The League never sold better. Call me crazy, but despite it's flaws, I loved that game. It was completely and utterly over the top with hard, bone shattering hits, and all the drugs and prostitutes a sports game could ever need.
More than that, though, the captain trailers actually made the teams feel real and gave teams an identity. You wanted to beat the crap out of the obnoxious pretty boy quarterback who called bragging he throw for more TD's than you, and you were more than happy to take the good hearted guys off the other teams when the opportunity came (or, if you're like me, the most psychotic defenders). The game had character, unlike the soulless mass that is Madden. It might not have had a good campaign (first one was pointless, second one was too short) and they never capitalized on the league they built (name a good sports game that didn't allow you to play a season with a non-player-created team; never made sense to me how Midway could overlook something so intuitive to the medium), but it was fun, and I miss it terribly.
Wow, that ended up going on for a lot longer than I thought it would...
I am sorry, I feel kind stupid.Falcon123 said:Sarcasm has escaped you. What a pity that you let it get awayjacobythehedgehog said:
Does the phrase "This game stinks!" ring any bells?jpblade666 said:
But yeah, Earthbound is pretty great, I'd surely reccomend it.
