I thought shooter are usually more, ya know Halo, TF or even Ikaruga? I wouldn't toss those shitpot games into the same sort of genre as traditional shooters.

Ka for PS2. POS game really, but it has it's moments. Called Mr Mosqito here with terrible box art and sold 2 copies, one to me and another to me because the first disk was broken.

Typing of the Dead. If that counts.
O.O I love that game. Its the one where you type the word it says on the zombie and the zombie dies, right?
Hell yeah!! It succeeded in teaching me how to type where Mario Teaches Typing failed. SEGA > Nintendo... jk jk, both are good in their own rights.

Either Katamari Damacy or Puzzle Quest is about as far outside the infield as I ever venture, and really, that's shortstop in shallow left center calling for a popup rather than truly out in left field.

Irony would be if you didn't own a copy of Big Game Hunter, wouldn't it? ;)

Does it count since I borrowed it from a friend and forgot to give it back

That depends, will you hunt me down and shoot me if I say no?

Endless Ocean, the source of constant taunting from some of my friends. But it is the most relaxing game ever made.

Left Behind, that freaky American Evangelical Christian game that Yahtzee referenced in his latest ZP, where you have to convert street punks into khaki-wearing missionaries who then recruit warriors to man tanks that shoot the "forces of Satan," I guess UN troops or something.

I didn't get very far with it, because it's basically just an extremely crappy Civ. To be honest, it's better than any other Christian game I've ever played, but that really doesn't make it good.

Still, if you know anything about tiny-brained, ultra xenophobic American Evangelicals, you'll get hours of pointing-and-laughing fun out of it.

Of coarse not. Why in the world would I shoot you over such a small matter? *sharpens skinning knife*.

As for the irony part *flips to wikipedia*, I guess I was wrong. English was never my best subject.

Star Wars Episode I Podracer.
Thanks to that game, I have the words "Its a new lap rec-ord!" stuck in my brain. To this day I still use it as a catchphrase to bug my little brother.

I found out the other day that the only other person I've ever met who's played the damn game (besides me and my little brother) just so happens to be my gf. I love having a girl who loves games like I do. Gooooooood times......

Yeah, that's like saying "It was the least painful kick in the balls I ever received."

Probably the weirdest game I ever played was Skullmonkeys [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKdADhk0HYo&feature=related]. It was a pretty standard sidescrolling platformer for the PS1 gameplay-wise, but the style and setting and characters were wonderfully weird and unique. I mean, just listen to this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1qb6d_i3To&NR=1] - it's the music that plays during the bonus levels after each main level. Hilarious.

What's so bizarre about that game? It was marketed like the second coming when the Star Wars film hit. A futuristic high speed racer too, quite a common genre. No bizarre, not obscure.

If you had mentioned Pod Racer Revenge on the PS2 you might have been on to something.

Oh. I played it on PC. Idk, I thought it was kind of obscure. I asked a few good friends of mine if they had played it (both are avid gamers) and they just looked at me funny. Also, no one else gets it when I yell "Its a new lap record!" while racing. Those announcers just... idk, they made my day...

Oh dear Lord. The months I spent playing that game on the PC when it first came out. I know it's a cheap Star Wars product, and it was like the easiest thing on earth, but damn if it wasn't incredibly fun. And thinking back, the voice acting and sound work were pretty fantastic. And honestly, as simple as they were, the maps were pretty good.

I agree entirely. I wonder when other religions will start making their own horrible games. Like a Muslim game letting you play as Mohammed conquering the Middle East, or a Zen Buddhist game that asks you a bunch of goofy questions, then gives you the blue screen of death when you pick an answer. Or a Hindu game, with an instruction book 1200 pages long, and a tutorial that takes about 10 hours to get through. And then when you get to the actual game, you have to just sit there and not do anything or the game immediately ends with Kali eating you.

(No offense intended against the varieties of God-theory mentioned above. Like the makers of Assassin's Creed, my existentialism makes me think everybody is stupid but conceal that truth under a blurb of vague legalese. Cuz daddy gets more $$ that way.)
