    So recently I went on a mini shopping spree at gamestop where I got a bunch of cheap games for the xbox that don't get too much attention at all. They were all around the $5-10 mark and I found some really great games.

    My favorites of them are:
    Brutal Legend
    Rage
    The Last Remnant
    Quake 4

    What are some hidden gems for whatever console that you love? I'd love to know!

    Anything by Double Fine, as can be attested to by the before-mentioned Brütal Legend. Monster Tale and Henry Hatsworth are both excellent genre combining DS titles. MT being a MetroidVania / Pet Sim, and HH being a Playformer / Falling Block Puzzle. The Shantae series by WayForward are. beautifully animated MetroidVanias. Anyone who enjoys Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Ratchet and Clank, etc, would be remiss to gloss over SpongeBob Battle for Bikinni Bottom and SpongeBob the Movie for PS2, GameCube, and XBox.

    To The Moon.

    Not enough people have played this incredible game/interactive story and it's one of the only games to make me physically cry, it's genius and lovely and it's quite cheap so everyone should play it.

    I loved this game, too (especially the soundtrack)! More people definitely need to play it.

    I'll echo that statement: To The Moon is absolute genius.

    I've just had a look at that. Dear lord it looks incredibly similar to FFXII in style and gameplay dynamics, almost...too similar. :dry: :lol: Even the fonts and sound effects are the same! I reckon Square Enix must have decided to cut costs on it by using FFXII as a template.

    I'll give it a go though as I love 12.

    It's the other way around, in a way... Also, have fun figuring out whether to use English or Japanese dub. Since, lip sync is for english but that just sounds "wrong"... (*≧▽≦)ノシ))

    Those games are amazing. They always reminded me of Banjo Kazooie/Mario 64 and similar games.

    Xenoblade Chronicles, but perhaps that one doesn't count now that Smash Bros is boosting it's popularity... aside from that, probably The Last Story.

    Was thinking someone would mention "Resonance of Fate" & "Lost Odyssey" by now, but since, no one has... There!

    Haha, it is very ominous so I get that :icon_bigg It's got an interesting story, but other than that you didn't miss out on much.
