There's a few good Indie games on the 360 that go mostly unnoticed. Soulcaster is a clever little action/strategy game that costs about three bucks or so and will keep you busy for an afternoon.

Culdcept Saga is also a fun CCG/TBS for the 360. Hard to find, but I've really enjoyed that one.

I really liked Freelancer...

But we are not really drowning in decent space-combat sims, so it should be pretty well-known.
Wasn't Freelancer game of the year when it came out? Hard to call it a /hidden/ gem, but yeah Freelancer was awesome.

World of Tanks, nobody here plays it but me, you're all missing out (it's still in beta)



Yes,it's a pink self propelled gun, deal with it
What is this game? Online MMO, PC, what? Also, if it is an online MMO, is it free?
It's a free online MMO, in closed beta, and you get all of the premium tanks and stuff, but you don't need it.

If you want to you can sign up for beta, and wait for the code to arrive in mail, when I signed up I got it really fast, not sure about right now.

Give it a shot, it's worth the bother to create an account.
is it going to be FTP when it comes out for real, or is that just the beta?

Think I might sign up, what are the system requirements? (or are there any?)

Try playing Bejeweled with the monitor off. That's a hidden gem.
ZING!

OT: A Boy And His Blob. Does anyone remember that? It was great. I heard there's gonna be a sequel (remake?) for the 3DS.

Is a Boy and His Blob that unknown? I've seen quite a bit of love for it and the recent remake/sequel on Wii was well received. I would easily get it a sequel on 3DS though.

Panzer Dragoon Orta is a wonderful little game. Those SEGA games were the only reason I regretted not owning a Xbox. Thank goodness for backward compatibility.

Hidden gems...?

Nah, sorry. Can't say I have found one. Games are games to me, I don't really hold one above another, but I will drown many that deserve it.

I'm thinking of one I used to play all the time on the Playstation and never could find it to purchase it so all I could do was rent it. Geeze, that was quite a long time ago, I can only remember bits of it. Basically you could choose a specific character model to play as and you're in this arena where you throw objects at people and knock them out to move on to the next round.

OT: Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire.

I bought it for $15 and I've loved it ever since I popped it into my PS3. I liked the detail and special care that was taken with the modeling of the Mobile Suits. And with an abundance of MS to purchase and upgrade, you could do whatever you wanted to any one. You could even buy an Ez8 and two Gundam [G] and call yourself the 08th MS Team.

Just too bad that the best thing about the game was the Mobile Suits. Not much attnetion was paid to much else.
The great thing about that is if they ever decide to make another game, they can just take the coding off of that and work on the parts they missed before. Which I hope they do, I'd be devastated if they didn't...

There was an old playstation game I got really into for awhile but the name escapes me. I think it might be Zeus? Hard to say.

At any rate, the entire game was you programming the pathing and AI for robots that fought on a grid. The learning curve was nonexistent or, if it had one, started at ridiculous and scaled up to infinity (and beyond).

Another older one here, but Command and Conquer: Renegade.

RTS players said "FPS from Westwood?" and never played it.

FPS gamers saw "Command and Conquer" and "Westwood Studios" and never played it.

I REALLY enjoyed the multiplayer. Even more when they finally added helicopters. Admittedly only in a couple of specially modified levels, but it was still good.

One word: MASHED. Never has a game brought people complete strangers together and become friends in a matter of hours. Thank God for university. Best multiplayer gem ever. Anyway, its getting a sequel soon!

E.V.O. by Enix on the SNES (before SquareEnix) You are Gia's champion and if you make it through all of the ages of time you get to be her husband in the garden of Eden. A strange yet satisfying sci-fi about evolution and origins of man. It took a REALLY long time to get good stuff in that game though.

I'm going to be a broken record again, and say the following:

-Pocket Tanks
-Escape Velocity

I always do that, sorry.

Yeah it will be free to play, the gold accounts only get the higher tier tanks faster, that's it, no advantages in battle.
Emm the requirements are pretty low, at least I think, but it's beta they are still figuring which pc's can run it.

Yesterday there was a wipe, after which everybody received a reset but kept their experience , credits (ingame money ) and gold (premium stuff money) .
So now, except for the recruit battles, it's pretty rough out there, super heavy tanks everywhere @.@

Just look at an entire team fighting one of them xD, many don't even scratch it's armor.


The game has a physics engine, so when you fire it calculates if it will bounce, or if it will blow an engine or kill the crew or something.
It's really awesome.
