Secret Gems [56K] (Great games that arn't well known.)

This thread is dedicated to all of those amazing titles that most people know nothing about. I'll start off with one of the best games I've ever played.

Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl (Complete 2009)

Now its your turn to post games that you think are secret gems. ( Don't forget to post pictures :) )

I'm pretty sure a lot of people know about S.T.A.L.K.E.R :P

This is just for current-gen games right?

Here are some:

EDF 2017

Mount&Blade

Gladius

Pac Man VS.

Beyond Good and Evil

X-COM: UFO Defense

Herzog Zwei

Jet Set Radio

Blackthorne

Bought this on the Xbox when it was first released. Was one of my most played games on the Xbox. Honestly, I wish Ubisoft would make a sequel. Xbox Live/PSN play would be awesome with this game. One of the more unique sports games out there. Very brutal combat as well.

Scored an 8.7 on Gamespot as well.

That reminds me, I've been meaning to reinstall Stalker with Complete 2009 again...

Anyways, my contribution is:

Arma 2

Thrill Kill. One of my favorite games ever.

[QUOTE="psn8214"]

[QUOTE="Cait__Sith"] Nice, I finally got around to downloading the demo, and this game is awsome.

I have issues running it maxed at times on my GTS 250, but I will also be upgrading around then, so no worries. This thread has gotten a bit off topic, eh?

I second Vampire Bloodlines. The best vampire game ever. Everyone NEEDS to play that game right away.

Bushido Blade 1 & 2

Battle Fantasia for the ps3...

most people don't know it exists, and it was made by Arc System Works... granted that the ps3 version only came to PAL and to Japan... but still, it is such a fun game...

[QUOTE="Cait__Sith"] Awsome, and it will be even better once I get a new GPU, though my current one can run it at very high with some frame drops, but some things I've seen in trailers I'm sure would cause my 8800GT (OC@700) to cut its wrist if it had any. (I'm waiting till Q1 next year to get my next GPU)Cait__Sith

I am sure you will be fine for the most part. I can get smoother performance at non-max settings.

EDF 2017:

Advent Rising:

Galleon:

Stoked:

Raiden Fighters Aces:

Rise of the Argonauts:

Velvet Assassin:

Dark Sector:

Ninja Blade:

If I'm not mistaken they released the 360 version in the USA and Canada, but it is still such a niche game that even people that like fighting games don't know about it...

Oddworld (on sale for $3 on Steam this weekend...or 2 games for $5):

BTW I second Beyond Good and Evil.

Valkyria Chronicles (Buy this damn game):

BlazBlue (Buy this damn game NAO):

Red Orchestra (VIOLENCE. SICK!):

Dystopia (Best HL2 mod ever....best mod ever....potentially best traditional multiplayer game I've ever played?):

YES. THAT'S A KATANA. PWN.

BTW if you don't own Shadow of the Colossus, BUY IT, DAMN IT.

Phantasy Star Online

Skies or Arcadia Legends

Chromehounds

STALKER isn't a game. It's a playable glitch.II_Seraphim_II

Vampire the masquerade bloodlines

malikmmm

A lot of games already mentioned I really enjoyed, like Dark Sector & Rise Of The Argonauts. I'll see if I can show a few:

Ceville

Conflict Globat Terror

Frontlines Fuel Of War

DCS Black Shark

FlatOut Ultimate Carnage

Condemned Criminal Origins

Chaser

A Vampyre Story

The Operative No One Lives Forever

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

I can't be bothered to post pictures but here goes:
Future Cop: LAPD (PS1) - one of the best co-op games I've played.
De Blob (Wii) - kind of like Jet Set Radio except you're a blob!
Heart of Darkness (PS1) - very hard but fun platformer.

Herzog Zwei

tagyhag

"IT" is precious here

only WE know of it, and only we play it

unbelievers are shant taint our precious

The Darkness. Great game that a lot of people skipped over...

Serisouly, what a fantastic game which really had a lot of creepy parts in the game. Had one of the best final levels I've played in a long time and the WWI scenes were freaky as hell.

Lufia 2 and legend of dragoon best rpg games ive ever played. beats ff7 or chronotrigger imo

I agree with the guy who said grandia, and the guys who chose mount & blade.
