I got this game as an Xbox original for my 360 back in the day until it got lost, and it was a very challenging yet satisfying time. I am saddened that the sequels were never made, I want an official PC version since Xbox does not seem like they will not put it on Series X/S.
I remember when my father got the PS2 Version back then. It laid on the table in the kitchen. I didn't know anything about the game, but immediately put it into the console, and was completely amazed. It was my first action game on the PS2, and it became my favourite. From the destructive environment, to the ability to control enemies. Getting scared in the wastelands levels (I was 12 back then), and ... maybe I stop there, don't wanna spoil anything. In my opinion, a must-play, but unfortunately not digitally available. So here's hope we might get a PC Port on GOG.
I always loved trying to keep as many of the Droid miners alive as possible to have my own little army. This franchise has so much hidden potential for a modern day reboot!
Originality! So much fun! Addicting! Funny dialog! Great childhood memories :). I have been waiting for years for the 2nd game. Even a remaster with extra goodies would be a great start.
I mowed lawns for a summer to save up for my first console. I was hoping to get an Xbox and Halo, but then noticed this game in the store for GameCube and decided to get it instead (it was rated T and I figured my parents would appreciate that more). I'm so glad I did. It was similar to Halo, but funny, quirky, humorous, and I had many hours of fun messing around in multiplayer with my brothers. The only legal way I have to play it is on an aging Xbox 360, and I'm not sure how much longer that will last. I'd love to see it come to PC where it can be replayed and preserved for generations.
This was the best game during that period because of weapons design creativity, story mysticism and impressive development, special multiplayer features, and perfect balance of humour.
Played it with my brother and our two close friends, as well as another friend later on with who I connected with through this game, and we still enjoy talking about this very game so many years later. I just managed to save my xbox copy from all its scratches and made it playable again. Making it available for pc would make us play together again, instead of alone.
Glitch, one of my favorite video game character. A simple little game but with a lot's of gameplay and a deep story in a world full of robots. Epic scene and fight, original music and industrial level design that change frequently, Metal Arms will probably be forever in my heart of gamer. Thanks Glitch ;)
This game was my childhood, possibly one of the only games I've always been interested to know more, a game that deserved its promised trilogy, i would love for this game to have its promised trilogy, and for it to atleast gain a bigger community for people that would enjoy this game
A friend and I used to play multi-player on his gamecube, pretty close to when it came out. We stopped playing when I started winning a lot more, hehe. I picked it up a few years later for $14 at ebgames. Best $14 ever spent, beat it on easy and medium, still working on nuts of steel! If this got a sequel or even just a modern pc port, I'd lose my mind
Countless memories of playing this game split screen after school with my brother and my friends. I was lucky enough to own the Xbox and ps2 version with the Xbox version being my preference. All the fun of hacking each other or creating armies with the grenade that made enemies into allies . 4 player split screen was so much fun. I wish this series got to continue and grow as an Xbox exclusive that would’ve rivaled ratchet & clank and jak and daxter ! I hope GOG or NightDive studios or Aspyr can help us relieve this game to its fullest potential someday !
Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VIIDirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII is an action role-playing third-person shooter. As the first shooter game in the Final Fantasy series, the action is viewed from an over-the-shoulder perspective similar to Resident Evil 4, although players can switch to a first-person perspective if they wish. Defeating enemies yields EXP, and at the end of each stage, the player can either use that EXP to level up, increasing Vincent's stats, or convert it to Gil (the in-game currency), which can then be used to purchase items and equipment upgrades.Action Fantasy Science fiction

WolfensteinWolfenstein is the direct sequel to Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Spear of Destiny/Wolfenstein RPG. It featured a "re-imagined" disguised dark-haired B.J. Blazkowicz, retaining the unshaven look seen in Return to Castle Wolfenstein and dressed in civilian clothes rather than his usual military uniform.
The game mainly consists of the player shooting his way through hordes of different types of Nazis, ranging from normal soldier to ninjas. To deal with the large amount of enemies, the player has access to many typical WWII-weapons like the German MP40 or K98 rifle. In addition, during the course of the game he finds the medallion and learns four powers. While at first entering the Veil only allows him so see enemies more clearly and use strange flying creatures as bombs, he is later able to slow down time, surround himself with a protective shield or make himself stronger. However, the medallion's powers drain its energy, which needs to be refilled at power-spots that are nearly invisible in the real world.Open world Action Fantasy Historical Science fiction Stealth

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

Ruff 'N' TumbleRuff Rogers has lost his marbles - in the literal sense of the small round balls used to play a game on drains. He's been armed with a gun to retrieve them from 16 levels of side-scrolling platform shooting.
The gun you start with isn't especially powerful, but various machine guns and flamethrowers can be collected, which make much lighter work of the enemies. Your character can jump and duck responsively, and fire at all angles.
There are 3 different colours of marbles, which a quota to recover from each level. Collecting enough of each particular colour sees all similar ones turned to coins, which can go towards extra lives and points bonuses. Switches are built into the levels; these act as restart points.Action
