Stubbs The Zombie maybe? I don't remember many people ever playing that one. But is was the most fun I've had with my xbox in a good ol' age. Damn people of Punchbowl, teach you to... be alive I guess?

Jak gets plenty of credit. Especially compared to the Sly Cooper games, which are the real hidden gem of PS2 platforming.HSIAMetalKing said:
I'm gonna have to second Blayze with his choice of Metal Fatigue. Custom units, and multilevel combat is always fun.
Excellent, Wcay. It's good to see a fellow Fatiguer here. It was always fun to crush one of those Neuropa mechs into the ground with the might of stolen Rimtech technology.
I can't believe I forgot about Soul Blazer, Terranigma and Illusion of Gaia, though. Bridge Builder was good fun too, especially when I was able to explain away why I was on it in school with the simple phrase "It's educational."

Star Control 2 ~~
It's freeware as The Ur-Quan Masters now. It's a sort of adventure game with fighting gameish battles. Each ship has a different way of fighting, and you only fight one enemy ship at a time. If there are several ships you fight them consecutively.

Stubbs. How could I have forgotten my dear, dear Stubbs. Not a perfect game, but damn good.
As for the Marathon freeware, browse to trilogyrelease.bungie.org (deliberately not linkified to avoid t3h Google-bomb, don't add "www" anywhere) and make certain to read the directions provided; the emulator's good, but it is an emulator and does take some setting up.

Totally agree with the highlighted.Incommunicado said:
Freelancer I think gets a lot of criticism cause it's a sequel to something that never "lived up" to the fans anticipation for it.
Hi-Octane I only had the demo for when I was young, but it was such a lot of fun. Like Wipeout, only playable for me
Jagged Alliance 2 lost a lot of character for me. It wasn't as pretty or unique as the first, but it added a gritty level to the action (sci-fi mode off, for the love of god!!!!) and the map aspect was a lot better in my opinion.
Z. I loved it, but it was just too hard for me. I loved watching my brother play it though. We had the huge special edition box that came with a keyring and t-shirt and whatnot.
There's a Jowood published game called Chaser. A compelling story-driven FPS. Sure, you needed to patch it before you could install install it, but for me it was definitely worth the trouble. I think I'm much more forgiving of flawed games from small companies than I am with this years blockbuster releases.
Silent Storm.
Hi everyone, I'm new and this is my first forum post - have to say, nice to go on a gaming forum that doesn't descend into nerd rage or console wars.
Anyway, on-topic, No One Lives Forever is one of my favourite games ever, and still one of the best First Person Shooters I've played. That it only got one sequel is criminal. Given the scope, variety, and surprising length of the game I'm hoping (perhaps in vain) that it'll get the next-gen treatment. Nonetheless, it doesn't deserve the tumble into obscurity it suffered from

I second the vote for the Suikoden series but I would add 1 and 5 on there too.
Onimusha series
Valkyrie Profile 1 and 2
Power Stone 1 and 2
Xenosaga

- Abe's Odyssey and the rest of the Oddworld games always felt criminally underappreciated as a whole.
- Psychonauts
- Star Wars: Masters of the Tera Kasi. Always got killed by reviews, etc, but absolutely loved a fighting game with lighsabers and force powers.

A port of Marathon 2 is also available for download for the XBox 360, but for me personally the controls just don't feel right. And it's not free.
brute force the co-op on that was so fun 2 play with m8s that is until they dont let you respawn because they think they can take the enemys all by themselvs
