Wait...
"Capcom forgot to advertise it"
...They forgot?
How do you forget to advertise a game when you are the masterful capcom, the best company evar, who obviously don't care about money, only the customer despite on disc dlc, drm and multiple copies of the same game over and over at full price?
Really? i quit after 20 minutes. I liked the future resource war premise more than the actual game.Fisher321 said:
Mirror's Edge and Alan Wake. I love the narrative in Alan Wake but it gets bagged on so much by people who rate it for what it isn't, an open world game.
Gregory's Horror Show - if you love quirky humor, wish Resident Evil is good, and want a tension-induced mental-mindfuck, you can get this game for about $8-14. Also, it's based on a really funny anime involving 2-protagonists trapped in a haunted hotel, who both slowly graduate into insanity. Inspite that description, it's really funny sometimes. And disturbing.
Quest for Glory. I don't see alot of people talk about these games that much, even thought they influenced the RPG genre quite alot, and the wiki is unindepth, shit, and some of the games don't even have image-covers. Basically, a bunch of RPG/Adventure hybrids in which you play as some totally stoned teenager going to various mythology inspired places. First is Germanic, second is Arabian, third is Asian/Egyptian, fourth has a Lovecraftian/Middle Eastern European thing going on, and fifth is Greek. Really good games. 1-4 can be played on DOSBOX, 5 needs a Windows '95/'98 emulator, but I can't find one. The reason why people don't talk about these games alot, I guess, is because they were released during the end of Sierra's "good years", before they started making shitty, cheap knock-offs. Yes, I'm talking to you, King's Quest VII.

Thanks for posting the trailer and Dr. Cox's involvement, that pretty much forced me to hunt this game down. Great voice, and my favorite humor from Scrubs bar none. Thanks.JoshTheREfan said:
I have a list on paper of great recommendations from you lovely folks, and this was a definite addition...until I saw that there was no US release. Ugh. This puts me in the mood to second the displeasure of not having our missing Phoenix Wright games.dylanmc12 said:
The only two games that i like that really didn't get the attention they deserve is Bastion, and Metro 2033
Giants: Citizen Kabuto is a truly outstanding game and received critical acclaim, but sold very very poorly. Shame really; you get to fly around with jetpacks shooting stuff, play as a magic, sword and bow wielding alien princess (who in the uncensored version is nude no less) and a King Kong style monster that eats everything and sits on enemies - what more could you want?
psychnauts.......because its epicness was so great no one bought it
also Folklore, one of the best looking games (not highest graphics but great asthetic) story is mature and love the basic but deep battle system
