The Movies. Cronically under-rated, could have been as big as the Sims IMHO! Hey Nazheeh, my gamertag is PaulECoyote, if you ever feel like a game of Shadowrun add me :-)

I never played that myself. So there you go, another person that totally missed out on this title. I do have to say though, I did like Gears of War quite a bit. Sure it looked pretty, but the best thing about it for me was how it made multiplayer more about cover and strategy vs jumping around tossing grenades. It was a breath of fresh air. But... the true breath of fresh air in FPS genre is still Shadowrun for me. “Psychonauts!”, yeah… I never played that myself. So there you go, another person that totally missed out on this title.

I was in the beta and then I got it from Gamefly. I'm thinking of picking it up for the PC and playing as it's only about $5 right now. I loved Shadowrun.

(original xbox) - Oddly enough I think this game is starting to get recognition simply because it continues to show up on list similar to this ("Great games you've never heard of"). I played this game when it was first released, and I have to say, I was amazed at how little any of my friends had even heard of it. Great story, polished platforming style, and just overall entertaining. I think those are key, I've been seeing entirely too many games that are just plain crap, but everyone raves about them, simply because they're the "IN" thing. Don't get me wrong, some of the more "popular" games truly are great. But a large majority fall way short on the greatness-scale. One game that comes to mind would be a recent FPS that goes by a name similar to Gears of CRAP! - sure it was pretty, and you had a chainsaw attached to the end of your gun.. but the story was crap, the replay value was horrible, and all it led to were countless online death matches of eager individuals rivaling to pump up their gamer scores. Sorry, got off on kinda a rant there.. good list, I agree with most. I wish more of the truly GREAT games were known for what they really were.. Psychonauts!

Amazing graphic, fun game play and hilariously funny. Don’t forget “Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath” on the original Xbox. Amazing graphic, fun game play and hilariously funny.
