Thread: Recommend some games

  1. #1

    Default Recommend some games

    Prinny [PSP]: Hardcore action platformer puzzler with tight physics and humerous story. You play one of a thousand Prinnies (you have 1000 'lives'), trying to get Etna the Ultimate Desert by finishing some seriously hard platforming sections. It looks stunning and is hard as hell, but oozes quality and focused design.

    Brave Story [PSP]: I've not played a good jRPG like this since Breath of Fire 3 - it's based on a manga from start to finish so it has the same kind of plot rise and fall as the manga itself, which makes it involved. The combat is fast and focused with damage flowing over from a dead enemy to the next, so nothing gets wasted. It's beautiful to look at, and quite stunning for a PSP game.

    Silent Hill Origins [PSP]: It's like Silent Hill 2 on your PSP but scarier. I almost dropped my PSP a few times from the frights, and the headphones makes the sound even more intense. You run around Silent Hill being scared, and when you reach a mirror you can 'swap' to the mirror-realm (think the movie), where **** gets weirder. Highly recommended if you're a Silent Hill 2 fan.

    Dead Space,

    The sound fx and innovative HUD by themselves make it worth the $$$.

    Dead Space (any platform): Best 3rd person survival horror
    Street Fighter IV (Xbox 360 & Ps3): Do u really need a reason?
    Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword (DS): Probably the best ds game except for...
    Advance Wars Days of Ruin (DS): This is how strategy games should be done on the DS. A Must Buy!

    I highly recommend Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War II! For those who love warhammer and strategy games.
    Dead Space: Awesome survival horror game. It really makes a mark in terms of Atmosphere.

    The Witcher: Never been a fan of RPGs (besides Fallout 3) but this game has pulled me in. The graphics are beautiful, even when I play it on low, the fighting is addictive and fun, there's a great level up system, great plot... and ze boobies!

    I honestly believe these games are worth playing, hard to find though. Wish they could make a new iteration of any one of them... if only i had 50 million dollars... :)

    1. Battlezone 1 and 2 (enjoyed 2 more, loved the art direction)
    2. Sacrifice
    3. Giants Citizen Kabuto
    4. Nomad Soul
    5. Outcast


    Hmmm, there are a ton of AAA titles I would recommend, however, they are AAA, so im sure everyone know what they are... and that they are worth playing.

    You win, syvlyn. Where everyone else was recommending obvious stuff, you actually put in some effort and recommended some real gems. Congrats.

    The John DeFoe Quadrilogy (PC): Probably the best adventure game series I have played in an exceptionally long time. Superb story, amazing depth, top notch graphics and gameplay and an ending that is awesome. And the only adventure game series that will force you to think quickly (and make me suppress a scream :p).
    All four are free to download:
    5 Days a Stranger
    7 Days a Skeptic
    Triby's Notes
    6 Days a Sacrifice

    Warning: These games contain some very adult scenes with blood and guts, not advised for the squeamish.
    And yes, it is made by Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw of Zero Punctuation.

    @syvlyn: Choices of pure win. Nomad Soul is probably the best game I've ever played.
    Mine:
    deBlob (wii): Just the way your actions add to the music make it worth price of admission. And the cutscenes are awesome. It's just good innocent fun
    Peggle (XBLA): You will lose your life to this game. More addictive than crack
    World of Goo: Probably the perfect game, taking a simple concept, builiding on it in unexpected ways, with crisp and hilarious presentation
    Shadow of the Colossus: Steal a PS2 if you must. Everyone should play this incredible game that reminds us why we're all gamers. Because nothing you ever do in real life will EVER be this epic.

    @Cleric: I think you and I need to be friends; couldn't agree with you more re Shadow of the Colossus.

    If you're on the PSN I can recommend flOw and Flower. VERY different games that are incredibly relaxing and easy to pick up and play.

    Here's two adventure titles I'd recommend:

    The Three Skulls of the Toltecs
    The first two Broken Sword games.

    All are really great, but good luck finding them, especially the 3 skull of the toltecs, I've been trying to find that one for quite some time now, people just love it too much to get rid of it.

    If you looking for a platformer with big bosses, tons of weapons and moves, and cool cinematics, then Devil May Cry 4 is for you. I recommend playing the game on Devil Mode, Human Mode was made way to easy.

    Fallout tactics - Strategy gameplay set in fallout universe
    Broken Sword - Shadow of the templars - point and click adventure
    Phantasmagoria - puzzle of flesh - disturbing point and click game.

    Odin Sphere: Hard as an age old nut, but beautiful and rather unique.
    Beyond Good and Evil: Lots of people have still missed this, it's still a joy to play.
    Silent Hill 2: People need to play games that are actually true horror games :P

    Nobody's yet recommended The Movies? It's only the best management game made in the past, irunno, 5-6 years. The poor game got eclipsed by Fable and Black and White, and it's probably better than either.

    I took months to get to the year 1990 and then my harddrive crashed and I lost all my data. Never got the courage to do it all over again. Really great game though.

    I totally agree. This game was awesome, and I think a remake on the latest technology platforms should definitely do this game justice.
