Hidden & Dangerous 2. Best WW2 shooter out there.

Alpha Protocol (from Obsidian).



Panned by critics, never really talked about afterwards (aside from some cult followers).



But man, I really loved this game (it's a spy/espionage RPG). It's pretty short (10 hrs IIRC) but it's got some fun spy elements, shooting elements, good enough story, and some good replayability as you can't really max out your character in a single playthrough. Different character builds really influenced how you played the game and made different sections of the game more/less difficult depending on your build.



It's harder to get now because of music licensing rights expiring; but I'd have to imagine hard copies aren't too bad to get ahold of.



It's not a perfect game...but I really liked it.

Played this way back when. Just broke it out and NCAA 14. Fixing to hit them both up.

I loved this game and thought the criticism of it was unfair.

High Heat MLB 2002. Played a few seasons ironman style of this game. Lost a game 7 of the World Series in the 12th inning after blowing a 3 run 9th inning lead.

Railroad Tycoon 2 (1999)
Railroad Tycoon 3 (2003)

I still play them both occasionally (I get on a binge every few years, it seems).

Xenosaga 1-3

Kind of have to include all 3 together.

Man these games... If you're a fan of jRPG's or great video game stories then you owe it to yourself to check out these games. All 3 games had been released by the time I got around to playing them, and it was fortunate that I was in college with a lot of free time because the cut scenes are LONG. I remember at least one that was ~40 minutes long, and many others were at least 15 minutes. The first game alone has about 7 hours of them. And honestly, that's part of what made Xenosaga so good. There was so much build up of this extremely complex religious/philisophical space opera with deep dives into each of the character's back stories, motivations, etc. It was so rewarding to finish some big boss battle and then move into some epicly long scene that really helped connect you to the story and the characters.

There were plans to do a remaster of the series, but a few months ago it was announced that it failed a "profitable market analysis"

NFL Fever
Street Hoops
The Warriors
Scarface
Battlefield Bad Company 2

I've been trying to find a way to play Scarface on PC, but I'm not finding any sites that look legit. I somehow never played the game even though I loved the movie, I love the 80's. I love Miami, and I love the genre. You think I'd have played it day 1, but I never did play it. I really want to get to enjoy this game, but if I can't figure out how to play it, I may turn to watching someone play through it start to finish on YouTube.

Not like way odd but modnation racers. I think its like a better version of Mario kart but it didn't sale that great. I would love to get a sequel on ps5 but don't think that is going to happen and i fill like people don't talk about it enough when it comes to great racing games.

That's a game I always had interest in but never played. And back when it came out I was playing any JRPG I could get my hands on. Any idea how it holds up today?
