Skies of Arcadia - Dreamcast - RPG

ShenMue (If you are into it) - Dreamcast - Adventure/Fighting

Grandia - Saturn/PlayStation - RPG ( although the PlayStaion version is censored for USA)



You forgot (imo) Grandia 2, suikoden I & II, silent hill 1, powerstone 1 & 2 and Columns (sega genesis and it's way cooler than Tetris)

Well I already had 20 down. I didn't like Grandia II myself, But Suikoden, and Columns were awesome. I'm not a big fan of Powerstone - The weapons are cool though.

Thx for the links GameJunk ;) I was too lazy to look them up :p

Edit: Grandia II was good, but it wasn't great like the first one, which still has one of the best (read: most fun) experience systems of console-based RPG's (imo). I also loved the voice acting in parts of both games.

Here's one: Freedom Fighters. It got a very high score (9.3 from Gamespot to be exact) and yet almost no one knows about it. It's one of my favorite games of all time. I can't wait for the sequal !


I love that game. I beat it very quickly though. The last mission was extremely complicated. Take out this, then in turn you can move without the helicopter taking you out, then kill blah blah blah, things of that nature.

Also the Mp rocks! i play it religiously with my friend. (That and Halo) And we managed to get three people interested in it and now they have it and play it with us. I love the Soviets in Mp ("Right away sir!" in Russian accent is tight) and the AK-47 assualt rifle.

They are making a sequel?!!? Cool -blam!- mother-blam!- -blam!- -blam!-!!


Rock on Freedom Fighters! : )

Opinions are like arseholes - everybody has one.

Knowledge is knowing Tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

There is no such thing as a bad decision, only good decisions based on flawed information.

Panzer Dragoon Saga on the Saturn. It was released right before the console died which was a shame. 4 disc long, took about 10 hours game time to complete and that was without the hours of cutscenes and FMV. Team Andromeda were the best at full motion video at the time.

Panzer Dragoon Saga is a great game, but it was never really underrated, people just weren't interested in RPG's again yet. Then again it makes a great collectors item. I got the copy I have for only $150 bucks too!!

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Alice, Shadow Warrior, Deus Ex (I know, I know... it got the game of the year... but most of the time, when I talk about it, people go, "What? What the hell is that?"), Daikatana (playing online in that KICKED ASS!), and Tachyon: The Fringe.

Alice was definitely underrated. That game was really freaky... The Cheshire Cat was the sh.it though...

Yeah Serious Sam was underrated a bit, but I don't know that Morrowind qualifies as underrated...

the 2 best games of all time, when it comes to being underrated are

1.Shining Force 2 for the genisis
2. Dragon Force for the saturn

I seem to have grown up in a world of nintendo then sony. maenwhile i was buying consoles like the genesis, saturn, and dreamcast. if there was a sega fanboy, (i think there are less than 30 of us now, and no females....)than i am one by heart. I HAVE NEVER heard anyone ever talk about the 2 games above. if you have played them or even heard of them i am very surprised. I still play shining force 2 all the time on an emulator and i would pay any amount of miney to get my hands on a saturn with dragon force. DEAR GOD! these games would have to be easily 11s on a scale of 1-10. it's like they achieved perfection than gave you some extra -blam!- to keep you happy. i can only hope halo 2 will be a 12.

P.S- did you know OXM rated splinter cell higher than halo? wtf were they thinking? what kind of bogus rating system were they using? do they give points for being boring, repetitive, and a waste of time after the first time through? if so then splinter cell earned that rating. i swear, the olympics are less controversial. stupid bizzatches, you'll see what i mean when they give Halo 2 a 9.5 and doom 3 a 9.8, ya you heard me right doom 3. i wouldn't put it past them, they can't go to low.

Those are two that deserve links...


Shining Force II


Dragon Force

By the way, if anyone was wondering why I've been trying to link most of these games in here, it's because I want the errant passer by to be able to see what we are talking about. All of these games deserve a little more exposure. Everyone who isn't familiar with any of the titles listed here- Take a look! These games deserve a special place in the hardcore gamers heart...
