Man, Urban Chaos was fun as shit. I hired it one time, loved it, and have't been able to find it since.Gaiseric said:
Unknown...hmm...Infinite Undiscovery?
It's the only JRPG I've ever finished because I actually cared about it.

Cthulu Saves the World is definitely one you should try. I'm not really one for turn-based rpg's but I really liked this one because I appreciate a game that has a sense of humor. This game had me laughing the moment I started the campaign and title alone made me go "lol wtf?".
I think you can still get it on xbox live indie section.

I was playing that not 10 minutes ago- getting my head sliced open as usual...Doctor Steel said:
The "Croc" games, Whacky Wheels, Microsoft Monster Trucks and Midtown Madness, The Haunted (a mod for Unreal Tournament 3, anyone with the game should REALLY get this mod, its amazing), Freelancer and Crimsonland. I know some of these games are reasonably well known, but you should still check them out.
Own a DS? I'd really recommend either Elite Beat Agents or The World Ends With You if so. I've seen tons of Wal Marts and GameStops that have EBA sadly on sale for 5 dollars, so that's an easy one to get. Also, the Trauma Center games are fun and cheap, both on Wii and DS.
Rise of Legends.
Nobody plays that anymore, and it's not like many people ever really did.
Also, too bad that the game was so rushed to release. Judging by concept art and conversations with the developers, it seems that a fucking quarter of the game was cut so it can be finished sooner. One of four unique factions, one of four campaigns, one of four sets of multiplayer maps.
The game world is incredibly imaginative, and it's really a pity we can only see three fourths of it.

Chase the Express for PS1 (Also known as Covert Ops: Nuclear Dawn in America)
It had terrible graphics (EDIT: Actually, looking back, they wern't that bad!) the voice acting was horrendous and the gameplay was essentially ripped right from Resident Evil. Plus the controls and camera angles make walking down narrow train corridors very difficult at times.
Basically Russian terrorists have taken over a train that contains the French Ambassador and they have planted a nuclear bomb on it. They plan to drive the train straight into France and evidently blow it up? Hell, I've played it so many times and I still don't really know! Either way, you're a lone NATO operative who has to take them down from the inside (of the train.)
I love this game, I don't know what it is about it that appeals but it's definately given me some fun times over the years. I remember being terrified of playing it as a child though, there are some really tense moments.

I'm sure most of the Escapist people know of the Oddworld series, espically Abe's Oddysey one of my earliest favourites that I've played for years, but no one I know apart from my family know of the Oddworld games. Even my friends that call themselves 'real' gamers! Shame on them for not knowing such an awesome series.
I recommend the Japanese version of Elite Beat Agents, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan(Which translates into Hey! Fight! Cheer Squad. Awesome, I know.) Both it and the sequel are great, with fun music and comic-style narrative, they aren't region locked and none of the text is essential so it's definitely worth getting especially if you are already a fan of EBA.omegawyrm said:
Fatal Frame ? any of its incarnations, but it would probably pay off to play the first three in order.
Tales of the Abyss
Tales of Symphonia.
Seriously, the Tales series never gets enough love and they're arguably my favorite series. I fell out with Final Fantasy after X and even before that I was never a big fan of them. I've always loved Tales games; their plots are interesting and the characters are intriguing and are developed. The only problems being that no one seems to know them very well and they can be really hard to find.
