Probably one of the best action shooters out there, it was crazy good in terms of how much crazy action you can do, slowmo dive, ride on carts, hang off chandelier, shoot things to make it fall on people, run on rails

And so much destructible things!

This was one of my first 360 games. I had fun.

I have this game on the PS3 collector's edition including the movie. Big fan of John Woo's gun fu and Chow Yun Fat. Too bad the PS3 version didn't have trophy support. Was hoping for a sequel, but they cancelled it and Midway went defunct.

EverydayJoe2997d ago

I have the same. I remember the release of it getting delayed a few times in the early days of the PS3. It was the first game I was really hyped for. I wouldn't mind revisiting it, havING not played it since release.

TheJacksonRGN2997d ago

I heard of this game and played the hell out of it. Should use a better headline.

Heli892989d ago (Edited 2989d ago )

Headline is not to be taken literally. The point of the series is to highlight lesser known games in general, or non-franchise games.

TheJacksonRGN2989d ago (Edited 2989d ago )

The better choice would be "Games you may have never heard of". The games may be lesser known but they are still known.

I remember downloading the demo thinking it would suck but man oh man was i wrong! Bought the game about a week later (had trouble finding it in stores).

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel

Space Marine II !! My most anticipated game of 2023! Woot

Best game based on two movies that were never made goes to robocop vs terminator.

Owlbert474d ago

Did you play RoboCop Vs terminator... pretty sure it was on the mega drive) genisis.

HeliosHex474d ago

Yes played it on genesis for the blood. Snes had a version but I think the blood was censored not sure. I just remember genesis being the go to system for games with blood.

Definite lack of Doves in games this gen.

TGG_overlord1615d ago

True that...Good thing that I still got the whole "Max Payne" series in my game collection.

TGG_overlord1615d ago

With no doubt, so this release sure made my day.

isarai1615d ago

Hmm, the thought of playing this through HDMI on my 4K TV through my rig sounds worth another playthrough of this gem. Especially at $10.

TGG_overlord1615d ago

I don't have a 4K tv or monitor I'm afraid :S But I'm going to pick up the game anyways ;)
