Final Fantasy X-2 (not by reviewers, though.) Insanely agreed. X-2 was a whole lot of fun and I actually really enjoyed the story too. I liked everything about the game, but MY GOD is it ever hated. The game itself it's fun, but I'll say the main problem with it IS the storyline. {Spoiler}Tidus fading away was a perfect ending. It was powerful and made sense. It was the way to show how much he had grown during the journey, the way to show the sacrifice he's willing to make for the good of Spira. He HAD to die. It was perfect. When I heard that now you can bring him back and have a mega-ultra-happy ending, I just couldn't believe it. They threw away what I consider to be the most important moment of FFX. And that's why I hate X-2. Note: None of this means I think the game was RUINED FOREVER or something like that. After all, the games and the fun they bring don't disappear.

I'm going to say that I think VERY few people played this game, but MAN is it ever fun: I loved spawning the little Darklings and sending them after my enemies. Eating enemy hearts was also badass.

I loved this game, and agree with ya that it was a good example of how to make a decent tie-in, or licensed, game.

Absolutely, this game is awesome. Although, it was reviewed pretty well back when it came out.

I understand what your saying, but that is the point of the game. So as not to spoil it for anyone, I'll put my response in the spoiler button. {Spoiler} Tidus is NOT in FF X-2 at all. It is just a bait and switch. You are lead to believe it is him, but it is actually just someone who looks like him from 1,000 years ago. And in FFX, Tidus, like his father Jecht, was never real until he was transported out of the dreamworld of the Fayth to Spira. So I don't see a problem with the storyline for the sequel at all. And I'll agree on FF X-2, and it also seems FF XII gets a lot of flack from gamers, I enjoyed that game just as much as the X or X-2.

Wasn't a huge fan of Nightfire myself, but I do think that 007 Everything or Nothing is criminally underrated. In my opinion, it's easily the best Bond game other then Goldeneye

Jones in the Fast Lane was a really fun PC game by Sierra. It was essentially a computerized board game/strategy game with the Sierra twist (complete with a Monolith Burger restaurant). You'd set your life goals (career, happiness, education, and $$$) and play against each other or the computer (the eponymous Jones). Each turn consists of the activities for a week. You can spend your time as you see fit. You can work, shop, attend college, job hunt, invest your money, or merely relax at home. You don't even need to eat (though you lose 1/3 of your next week due to hunger, and you increase the odds that you get sick), work (though it is hard to pay for a damned thing without money, and do that often enough you will get fired), deposit your money at the bank (though there is Wild Willy, a thief who mugs people at both the bank and the grocery store), own a refrigerator (though eating at the Monolith Burgers for the week is more expensive and time consuming), or get a nice apartment (though Wild Willy occasionally breaks into apartments at the slumhouse). Honestly, that game is a blast, either by yourself or with friends. Unfortunately, it is from the early 90's, so there was no online play available.
Another early 90's game for the PC that only a few have heard of (though many of those few STILL play it) is Forgotten Realms: Unlimited Adventures. It was a RPG game that used the mechanics of the AD&D, 2 edition system. While the packaged game was fun enough, the real fun of the software was an editing function. With it, you could fashion your own RPG game to share online with others. There are nearly a thousand such edits available online, and some of them are actually far better than not only the original game in the package, but most commercial RPG games for the PC from the same era.

In my opinion, it's easily the best Bond game other then Goldeneye I liked Everything or Nothing as well (Willem Dafoe as a Bond villain=win!), but for some reason, I simply enjoy Nightfire more. It felt like Goldeneye-style gameplay in the (then-) modern age, and the scenes in it really felt like a Bond movie to me, with all the stunts and cool stuff you could do. Different strokes, I guess.

I also want to add all the GC WWE games(sans Wrestlemania X8) since they always seem to be treated like the bastard step child in comparison to the Smackdown games.
To me they're pretty much a mordern No Mercy with a few tweaks and does some things better than the SD games.

This game made me fear Mike Patton. I couldn't hear Faith No More songs for weeks. It also made me care for the characters, and not see them as 1s and 0s of programming code. Only a few games I remember have given me that.
