Hey everyone, Tamaki here. Now, I consider myself a pretty big gamer, however, I am also someone who is, and has always been, lacking in very much money. As such, I've always ended up not being able to afford consoles until they've already been out for years (I purchased my Xbox 360 last year). Since I can't afford the latest stuff in a timely fashion, obviously I've spent more time with older games and systems. Having to hunt for new games for them can be challenging, but has lead me to stumble on some rather interesting and extremely fun titles. But since they're for older systems and are obscure games in the first place, I can pretty much never find anyone else who knows what the heck I'm talking about, and I feel it's a real shame, because a lot of these games easily make my all-time favorites list.
So what are some games you love, but are obscure or you feel are under-appreciated? Tell us what you love about them and see if we can find any other fans.
I shall start: There's very little-known oddball title that came out on the PS2 called Okage: Shadow King. It wasn't anything special in terms of gameplay and was pretty short. The premise was very strange (you can look it up, explaining would take too long), it was kooky, quirky, weird, and abso-frickin'-lutely hilarious. With the possible exception of the Mother series, I have never played a funnier game. At the same time, even with all the strangeness going on, it really makes you care about the characters. Even with the gameplay itself falling a bit on the boring side, I have always loved this game to this day am disappointed that it didn't get more love. I'm also a fan of the Katamari series, and seldom find anyone who knows what that is, either.
