Game(s) you LOVE, but somehow have NEVER heard anyone else mention

Jurassic park 2 The lost world

lol i dont know any of the games that people write here exept for fortxi and mirror edge

Re-Volt, NFS Porsche Unleashed, Rollercoaster Tycoon (2, 3? don't remember number) and last, but NOT least: HL2DM!

Rune Halls of Valhalla, Earth Defense Force 2017, Corpse Party

the saboteur

1. Skyrim
2. Minecraft
3. Call of Duty

WildTangent's "FATE" series of games. They're basically dolled-up family-friendly knockoffs of Diablo, and even introduced the fishing aspect to the genre long before Runic implemented it into their Torchlight games...

Others that come to mind:
The Etrian Odyssey series for Nintendo DS;
The Tactics Ogre games;
Scorched Earth 3D (a recent freeware 3D reboot of the classic DOS game Scorched Earth).

Arcanum.

The entirety of FunOrb(casual gaming site with a lot of small browser-based Java games- Google it or something). Chances are if you haven't played one of the games there, you've never heard of it... in fact there's a really small chance that you HAVE played one of the games there(Arcanists) but still haven't heard of it. :D

Probably because it's developers decided it wasn't making enough money 2-3 years ago and just abandoned it. -.-

Atom Zombie Smasher and FTL are both amazing indie games that no one really talks about, except for a small few that actually like good games.

Flashback, and its sequel, Fade to Black. But I wasn't on the internet back then. So, for all I know, this could have been a really popular game. Never heard anyone in real life talk about it, though.

Descent I, II and III
Terminal Velocity
Jane's WW2 Fighters

Hidden & Dangerous 2
Conflict: Desert Storm
Alien Nations 2

Torin's Passage

I'll add in Lego Racer. Wish I still had that, that was stupidly childlike fun. <3

[1] Toonstruck--a point-and-click adventure about a cartoonist(Christopher Lloyd) sucked into a cartoon world. And his boss is Ben Stein. And the major villain is voiced by Tim Curry. [2] Operation Cleaner 2--a free download about managing your own demolition company. "And now I'll place a shaped charge in this convenient nearby tree, just to see what happens". [3] Iji. That's i-j-i. Platform shooter with RPG elements about an alien invasion, and what you intend to do about it. [4] Overlord. Your minions are ready. [5] Tyrian, a vertical scrolling shooter. Though it's most accurately "OpenTyrian" now. [6] Legend of Legaia. Possibly an allegory about reliance on technology... except with organic monster parasites. Whatever. It was fun except for that prick Songi. And finally, [7] Xenogears. Best battle system ever. A story more convoluted than your first play through FF7. And full of concentrated badassery.

Creatures 2. I love virtual life games, but no one makes them. :(

Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean

Okay, "never" is quite a big word, but at least only very very rarely.

Septerra Core was epic. Too bad the ending was so weak.

Max Payne is pretty rarley talked about.

Lagsterz haha :)

Probably the Might and Magic(not Heroes) series for me, I don't know many people which ever heard of those.

Wizardry 7 and Wizardry 8 from the guys that made Jagged Alliance 2
...also the Realms of Arkania series - especially part 3 Shadows over Riva. These last ones are quite famous in Germany (since the belong to the Dark Eye), but not so much in the rest of the world.

Master of Magic - the fantasy version of Master of Orion

Oni
Armed and Dangerous
