OT:Most games I mention to my real life(as opposed to those i met through internet) friends get me blank stares... none of my friends are gamers, but Primal is one I've never seen mentioned on this site... anyone else like it?
I liked it because of the characters, the worlds you visit(I have yet to complete it because i got it just before christmas, and as good as it is, It can't compete with the games I got for christmas between me and my brother[ACII, GTA:CW, Saints Row 2,MGS4 and Fallout 3])

Released on the original Xbox, and developed in the UK of all places. Shooters are usually doomed to obscurity, but this one is especially unknown.
The story kept my interest, and it also helps that the game is hardcore. The second highest difficulty level is almost beyond my comprehension. It's something of an arena shooter; the levels move along rails, while enemies appear around you. The ship fires at 360 degrees, with all kinds of firepower options.Somewhere in an alien galaxy lies the planet Mardar, a planet inhabited by humanoid people. These people have been worshiping a small-growing black hole called the Maelstrom as a holy execution tool for administering righteous judgment against their most heinous criminals, judged by a sentient machine called the Inquisitor. After a recent struggle, the people have successfully arrested the witch Aguira; a deceptive and destructive creature often disguised as a young girl, Aguira is sentenced to death by the people by being sent into the Maelstrom.
However, Aguira's transport vessel is struck by a nearby asteroid orbiting the sun, killing everyone on board but fatally injuring Aguira. To her surprise, the asteroid was rich in a chemical called Xyanide, a chemical known for its abilities to make an exposed person's thoughts become reality. Aguira uses the Xyanide - now pulsing in her blood - by creating her own space station and fighter squadrons at her command with herself as the ship's core to exact revenge against the Inquisitor and spread her destructive influence. It is up to the Bioship escort pilot Drake, Aguira's executioner, to stop her from accomplishing her goals.
It also supports custom soundtracks if that's your thing(which is a huge plus IMO).
So what other games are out there that you love that no one's ever heard of? Dig deep.
Persona's a niche series, for example, but it's got more than enough of a critical and cult following.
Bonus points if you explain what makes it awesome.
Primal, ah that game took me ofrever to finish, just because I got stuck in the 4th world.Spacefly said:I heard about that game... but only because theres some famous voice actor in it or something...robert632 said:no one i've seen has really heard of deadly creatues, and it's awesome because you're a spider and a scorpian(you switch between them with each level.) going around killing shit, including snakes and a person.

Ahh, yeah, I had a copy of that. Unfortunately, there was never enough sunlight/I never got outdoors enough to be able to play much of it, but what little I did play wasn't bad at all.e2density said:
i have looked for that game forever without success='(Onyx Oblivion said:I own a copy of Mister Mosquito.
It's not THAT obscure, though.
Never speak of that game again!Sevre90210 said:RF Online, because it was that awful, and also Blinx, because no one wants to remember it.
Yeah the last few levels are quite hard in a rather unfair way.matnatz said:You and me both. I can't remember ever actually completing it though.justsomerandomguy said:I believe I paid something like 30 Euro for that back then!
