Hey now, that game was pretty badass. Hope there's a sequel.

Highlife3896d ago

The only game I have played where the game got better if you turned off the volume.

Godmars2903896d ago

All of those games came out at time when FPS burnout started, and Alpha Protocol was widely reported to have horrible, unfinished, mechanics.

ChuckieRoberts3896d ago

Yup, it was around that time. People were just a bit sick of hiding behind a conveniently waist high wall and shooting things.

And the mechanics are absolutely flawed, that game dug its own grave by not employing some elbow grease and just cleaning it up. Past that, though, in terms of narrative, it's very intricate and enjoyable. Guess that's a preference thing, though!

Hellsvacancy3896d ago

Singularity was a good game, I think I was the only one that played it, I quite liked it

ChuckieRoberts3896d ago

I've made a note numerous times to play that but haven't gotten round to it. I'm doing a huge generation clear up before next gen so I'll probably pick it up, because it does look fun.

Eldyraen3896d ago

Good game: sort of a Bioshock-lite experience. It had a crazy setting but was part of the game's character more than your standard shooter. At the time anyways was a good explanation on "what is was".

I played it in consoles first but bought cheap on PC and haven't finished it again yet :( Just one of those games I liked a lot and want to play more of but other games/RL distracts me.

InTheLab3895d ago

Wayy underrated. A solid shoot that happens to not be CoD much like Metro...

AznGaara3896d ago (Edited 3896d ago )

Idk about Bulletstorm.. but for me

Bayonetta - That way EVERYONE would actually get Bayonetta 2.
Valkyria Chronicles - This truly was a gem. Came out along some blockbuster games that took all the spotlight. Still one of the best JRPGs/SJRPGs of this gen.

Eldyraen3896d ago

One I think should had done better is Enslaved. Not a great game but better than many that sold much better and rather solid experience. Sort of like Heavenly Sword (although HS>Enslaved IMO).

A ton of gems this gen that didn't get attention they deserved.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Cacabunga64d ago

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics64d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend64d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long64d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons64d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor64d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5264d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60264d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor64d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

Duty Calls - Epic Games' Forgotten Call of Duty Parody

Back in 2011, Epic Games and People Can Fly launched a Call of Duty parody - Duty Calls - that has been lost to the annals of history.

closed_account314d ago

"Duty Calls: The Calm Before the Storm" sounds more like a massive case of the sh**s. 😂

I saw the parody mention, and half expected the ability to drop a deuce on your opponent... I left disappointed.

Never too much Taco Tuesday!! Now if only we could just achieve eternal Taco Tuesdays without the inevitable Wipe-It Wednesdays!!! 😂😂
