"Indie" Games or Sleeper Hits
Stranger Dan:
I'm tired of hearing about Ico. It might not have had a big television advertising campaign or anything but few games do. Any gaming publication for about a year after its release hailed it as the most wonderful revolutionary game ever made in every issue, on what seemed like every page. I rented it and instead what I ended up playing was an uninspired platformer with simple puzzles and button mashing combat. I then beat it in the time of the rental and had no reason to buy it.

Excellent 3 person shooter.

Man, I completely forgot about Metal Arms! That game was awesome.
There was a game that came out in Japan a few years back called Chaindive that was one of the most fun games I have ever played. They were going to bring it to the US, but it got canceled... :(

Back in Korea I used to play this side-scrolling beat-em-up based on the Chinese Zodiac. The playable characters were like Monkey and Pig and such (my fave was Rooster,) and you fought all sorts of monsters from Chinese mythology. All the arcades had this machine. I forget the name, and I don't think it was released in this country, but that game was so much fun.

I enjoyed this rather odd old SNES game called EVO. It was basically a game where you fight other creatures to gain points so you could evolve to fight even bigger, stronger opponents. It was teh awesome, and was underappreciated.
Also TNMT 4 in arcades is my god. Turtles in Time has devoured my money. Good ol' emulators have saved me though.

I never got past the first boss in Evo. I should try again from the beginning; I'm pretty sure I just didn't evolve in useful ways and that's why I couldn't beat the boss. snes9x on powerbook ftw
