lol Mass Effect 2 wasn't exactly a hidden gem... but I would say Far Cry 2, Dark Sector, and if you are cool with buying some PSN titles, pick up Dead Nation

Shadows of the Damned was an "under-the-radar" game. I found it enjoyable and would reccomend it to what you are looking for.

The Darkness

Condemned II: Bloodshot

Kane & Lynch: Dog Days

Conan

Alien vs. Predator

Heavenly Sword

R.U.S.E.

Some that I can think of right off hand that I enjoyed pretty well

  • Dark Sector
  • Enslaved Odyssey to the West
  • Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom
  • Eternal Sonata
  • Tom Clancy Hawx?
  • Heavy Rain
  • Rayman Origins
  • Champion Jockey G1 Jockey & gallop Racer
  • Resonance of Fate

Least ones I can think at the moment anyway And would definetly recommend Dark Sector game should be pretty cheap and found it to be a fairly surprisingly good game

Littile Big Planet (kind of a kids game, but It's good for any age.)

Infamous 1 (the second one sucked though)

A lot of the PSOne classics are good like the older Final Fantasy games. You can get most of those for around $10.

Tekken 6. Online is pretty laggy, but single player is great.

Sonic's Ultimate Genesis collection. It's got a BUNCH of the old Sega Genesis games including the original Sonic games and a few of the Phantasy Star games.)

There's a few others that I can't think of at the moment, but those are some good ones.

Really?

:?

I've heard so many bad reviews of it... I have the first game on PS2 and I haven't started it yet. Is "Godfather 2" good? Or would you say it's more a guilty pleasure/ Fan of the Subject Material sort of good game?

3D Dot Heroes. It shamelessly rips-off 8bit Zelda and is all the better for it. Very charming good old school fun.

You asked for a hidden gem, The Godfather 2 is one of them. You havent played the original? Really? The original Godfather got great reviews, so much so that later it was ported to the 360, then later ported to the PS3.

You should play the original, especially if you're a fan of the movies. Its by far the best licensed game ( Movie game ) ever created. The game is just amazing. The Godfather 2 is also really great. Not as good as the original but a worthy sequel with lots of new gameplay mechanics.

Dont listen to any of the poor reviews, Godfather 2 is a wicked game if you liked the 1st one. I should say though that someone told me it can be quite glitchy on the PS3, but i played it on the 360 so i wouldnt know.

Yeah, I got the original for PS2, it got "Good" reviews, so that says to me, it all works and if you like the subject matter (which I do) then it's a game worth playing. I absolutely LOVED "MAFIA" (the port for PS2, even) so when I found a copy of "The Godfather" it was a no-brainer. I have been so busy with other titles after i finished "MAFIA", I figured I would give the organized crime a rest and knock down a few other Rainy Day purchases... But I promise, I will play it one day, fairly soon.

I went through a heavy patch last Spring when the PSN went down; I played "Just Cause", "MAFIA", and "Scarface: The World is Yours", while watching my roommate finish "GTA San Andreas"...

:P

... Sooooo, "The Godfather" hadda wait for a bit!

:lol:

Will pick up G2 when i see it on a shelf... Thanks for the tip! I love 1920s-1950s crime games!!!

3D Dot Game Heroes is amazing and it's only 15$ brand new at Gamestop. Not sure how much on Amazon but it's totally worth it, awesome game.

You beat me to it, such a rare gem. The art style and the way the enemies break into little blocks is so cool.

All can be had for $4.99 or less. Riddick is the best deal of the three as it contains 2 full length games.
