360

Fracture -  Awesome game, cheap too. :)



PS3

Naughty Bear-   Fun and unique.  Definitely worth it's presence on a shelf.
Puppeteer   - Exclusive gem that's over looked by many :D


PS2

The Bouncer -  Fun squaresoft beat em up, a beat em up after the beat em up craze, one of the last of a dying breed :)
Gun -  Pretty fun western shooter, similar to red dead games.


Switch/Xbox One/PS4

NBA Playgrounds -  This game is truly a underappreciate arcade style, nba jam clone that really can consume hours of time.  It's addictive collecting the packs and unlocking new guys.
