[quote name='Drico']Shenme (Dreamcast) and Shenmue II (Euro Dreamcast, Xbox) ... Best games ever made, period. Alot of people seem to think it's "boring" but that's what I thought at first, too. Keep on playing, and you'll fall in love. :shock: Not
that much action, but when there is, it's good.
Very much a story/character driven game with OUTSTANDING music! It seems the closest thing you can get to oldschool gaming, but with modern features.[/QUOTE]
Shenmue at it's release was the most amazing gameplay experience I had ever had. However, I bought II at release (preorder actually I think), and could never get into it. I don't really know why that is, but the first at least (and maybe the 2nd too, might just be me) is a gameplay experience not to be missed.
Ico- Speaking of gameplay experiences, I can't believe no one has mentioned Ico. This game is/was so far ahead of its time, it's not even funny. The structure of this game was one that will be the template for the next generation of gaming. Every thing from Fight Night Round 3 to King Kong is using elements from this game. It is everything a "game" should be. I can't really explain it better than that. Just play it.
Final Fantasy IX-I know, how can a FF game be overlooked. Well, due to it's release (on the PS1 after the PS2 was out), this one mostly was, especially after the disappointment that VIII was, but it is actually one of the better entries in the series. Not the best, but still a damn good game, and deserves more recognition than it gets.
D2-for the Dreamcast. Back when I was playing EQ 14+ hours a day, this was the first game that pulled me away from it. I did not touch my computer again until I finished this game. Very, very good game that like 5 people played.
Einhander-for the Ps1. One of my favorite side scrolling shooters, made by square, and again, like 5 people played it.
Armed and Dangerous-xbox. The game itself isn't the best ever, but the cutscenes are possibly the funniest ever in a game, and rival most any movie.
