[Urgh76]

A sidekick who runs when you aim a bow at him.

And yes I am totaly stealing the idea from shadyh8er.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Shadow of the Collossus. If it is not this I will commit hari kari on this spot with a pen.

Press middle stick to dodge.

Arkham Asylum.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

[Urgh76]

PILLZ HERE!!!

 

[JohnDoey]

You are in prison because you may have killed you're family.

 

[Zenichi]

You wear a living gauntlet and try to clear fog.

I'll add a hint:
D,D,D,U,U,U,D,U

Legend of Legaia (oh man i gotta dust of mah ps1 now...i wonder where i left it)

[omega_peaches]

Your a yellow alien and your best friend is a fat kid

 

[nisgod67]

I've got one for you,
You're a guy trying you rescue his girlfriend from a creepy old house.
Quote: "Would you like a 'chop,' sir?"

That would be Hugo's House of Horrors

 

[Tanto-chan]

You'd better be good or I'll use my digipad and make you a paradox.

 

[Skorpyo]

Super Joe

That one isn't too obscure, but it is a nice one.

Bionic Commando

 

[teutonicman]

Played as a character for the whole game and in the last level is killed by his "employer". His son takes revenge on the murderer but you never find out why his dad was killed.

You are correct, bravo!

 

[JohnDoey]

A water gun that kills zombies

GUESS THAT!

zombies ate my neighbors

 

[RoxiLore]

Really, no one has even guessed one of mine? Ugh... I'll throw out one more for today.

The final boss has two lightsabers.

Hint: Not a Star Wars game.

This should be simpler than the others.

OH! I got this one. Kingdom Hearts II?

Lame guess, I'll go away now.

You are correct sir you win +5 Brownie Points!

Also: Holy Santa-Christ! This is my 100th post already? Woo Hoo!!!

Fuck yes gamer-girl wins again! And dad says nothing good comes of video games.

Okay shitshit. I can think of one. Got it!

You're a dog-fox-thing and you bounce on boxes and ride polar bears and have a dillweed for a nemesis.

crash bandicoot, not obscure at all

Well fuck. Well, I tried. Anything I played before that I was too young to really remember.

Maybe...

"NOT TAKE MIRROR!!!!" Is a better one?

Zelda TP:
Here's another from a series that is looked fondly upon

"Look out! It's a dragon!" OR "I wanna cast a spell...."

Both are from the same place

Well shit. I suck at this.

 

[signingupforgames]

No idea if this game is obscure
You use a cane to swing and hit people.

 

[JohnDoey]

"I am on the road crew."

uh brutal legend.

 

[AstylahAthrys]

You receive orders from a sarcastic, insane ex-door operator that sends you through space to fight aliens.

Why does that sound like Yahtzee's game:
'Adventues in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment'?

Mine shall be:
I FEAR NO EVIL, FOR I AM FEAR INCARNATE!

XD It's not, but it does fit #3 in the OP for the most part.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I suppose I should think of another one. Hmmmmm...... Ok I've got it!
You pilot a submarine (which incidentally happens to be yellow) to recover fragments of a crashed space probe.
