Well me is bored. So I have decided to start up a thread. I would like to suggest that everyone who contributes to this thread post their choice of a game (or games) that few have played but that everyone should play. While this is difficult in a time where fantastic new releases are around every corner; there are still those classics (and perhaps not so classic) games that did not recieve the attention they deserve. Aside from Mercenaries, I cannot think of one myself. Hmmm, maybe Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge also. Anyway, I would love to hear the rest of the community's thoughts on this matter and their picks for "games no one has played but everyone should."

Blood will tell. Simply a great game with lots of weird aspects that make its story ingrossing.

Shadow Of The Colussus (PS2) - While not completely unknown, it still deserves much more recognition.

Okami (PS2) - One of my favorite games of last generation. Didn't sell too well, who's lack of success helped put the talented developer (Clover) under. :( At least it's coming to Wii, and may get more recognition. Just an incredible game in ever respect.

James Bond: Evrything or Nothing Nick-Nack94

I still have that wraped in the plastic. Golden Eye 2 was/is so bad that I didn't feel like touching another James Bond Game ever again.

Seems everybody has beaten me to the good ones... Save one exception.

Please play Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. The Sanity meter will give you some of the biggest scares (and laughs) in a game.

Not to sound like a broken record but... The Kingdom Under Fire titles on Xbox.

Also, not enough people have played Portal yet.

Agree about the KUF games, but please STAY AWAY from the X360 one (Circle of Doom), it's nothing like the old ones.

I'd also like to recommend Frequency and Amplitude. If it wasn't for those games, Guitar Hero would never have happened. Plus, viewed purely as games, I think they're better.

I assume we're only considering this and last generation, so P3, Killer 7, Grim Grimoire (well, maybe EVERYONE shouldn't play it..), Okami, Rez, Space Channel 5, Beyond Good and Evil, Psychonauts, Ico, Oddworld: Strangers Wrath, and Mr. Mosquito (regardless of the collision detection in M.M.) all come to mind. I can't really think of any current-gen unrecognized gems, unless Viva Pinata counts, which I don't believe does.

I'm pretty sure Shadow of the Colossus is a PS2 Greatest Hits title...

"Cell Damage" for the GC and XBOX. I absolutely loved that game. It was a cell-shaded car-combat game. It was like going crazy in a cartoon. I might just have to pick that up again now....

I'm surprised nobody mentioned suikdoden 3. That is easily my all-time favorite rpg. I love how you play through the story going back and forth between the perspectives of the 3 main character who all seem to be on different sides of a conflict, but then come together and unite for a common cause.

wouldn't really agree with shadow of colussus seeing as its a greatest hit game which means it has sold over 1 million copies
anyway some games people should have played,
pyshconauts(made me lofe platformers again)
suikoden 3 (one of the best RPGs for ps2)
vanguard bandits (really good SRPG for ps1, )
grandia (really good RPG for ps1, with a really awesome battle system)
gitaroo man( one of the best rythme based games out there)

Second Sight : One of the most clever Storylines in years AND a lot of fun.

Beyond Good & Evil : Really funny,sold terrible.

Prey : Maybe the best Level-Design a FPS ever had.

Storywise, Suikoden II is the best rpg of all time. Along with Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy VI.

Suikoden II is a RPG that EVERY, and I mean, EVERY RPG fan should play.

But because of more technically advanced games (at its time) like FFVII, Chrono Cross, and Legend of Dragoon, I think Suikoden II got overlooked.

Lunar : Eternal Blue is unique and shows that even for todays standards "bad" graphics can be beaten by gameplay.This game fits from beginning to the end.

well that all depends, ive played this game quite a few times. and its fun for awhile, but it lacks compeitivieness, now i know its really popular in japan, but some is melty blood, and i feel the same way about that, its people doing there one bread and butter combo over and over again.
