I remember a PC game called Black & White 2. You played a god basically and it was a real time strategy game, you had a massive animal for a pet (sort of like a Godzilla or Kingkong type deal but more endearing) that was your strongest unit and really made the game unique. For the time it blew my mind. On original Xbox there was a game called Kung Fu Chaos, it was basically a stylised arena fighter in the vein of smash brothers. There was also a game later called Tom & Jerry War of the Whiskers which was a similar deal. More recently in the 360 generation there was Sleeping Dogs which is kind of like GTA but in China and the combat is much more fluid, think of like Batman Arkham melee combat. It was an amazing game, one of the best that gen. |

A very good game that defenitely flew under the radar of many gamers was the PS1-RPG "Koudelka" by SNK / Sacnoth. I actually didn't know of it's existence until I started to purchase the "Shadow Hearts"-Titles for PS2, which this Koudelka-Game is a prequel of. People say it didn't get that lot of recognition back in the day for it being released quite simultaneosly to another - well known - PS1-RPG, which must have been Final Fantasy VII or VIII ... This title, as well as the also lesser known sequels called "Shadow Hearts" are somewhat like hidden gems. Full fledged JRPGs with a unique creepy design. Enemies you encounter really give you the shivers. Imagine battling against an Blob-like enemy made out of rotten baby-corpses and other heisenbergish creatures that challenge your stomach when looking at them. Another neat feature of Koudelka (and also it's Sequels) is, that it's set in real places like Hong Kong, Praque, Ireland, Germany, etc. and playing in the late 1800s to early 1900s. So, all in all a very unique, one-of-its-kind RPG, that's hardly comparable to other games in it's time and genre. I truly recommend checking it out, if you like that oldschool, tactical, turn-based RPG-Stuff, like I do. 8) |

Dynasty Tactics 1&2 for ps2 like the title says a good tactics game same play style as Fire Emblem. 3. Extermination ps2 3rd person horror. 4. Gunship ps1 combat flight simulation. 5. Wargames: Defcom 1 ps1 strategy game. 6. Galerians ps1 survival horror with psychic powers instead of guns. 7.

I will say though that most of the golems become completely outclassed by the human cast as you get through the game. What I found enjoyable was the battle system, as instead of a traditional click and attack style, all characters were on opposite sides of a grid, so you'd have to move your characters around the board to line up attacks and abilities, which all had their own special patterns. |
