This one takes place in the same setting as SMT IV. I admit, the handling of story and the characters isn't on the same level as the previous game. Having said that, Apocalypse improves upon many of the gameplay mechanics, such as skill affinities with the demon whisper and the ability to select your active partner depending on what type of assistance you require. If Shin Megami Tensei IV is preserved, so should this.
Perhaps the most divisive Megami Tensei game (this side of Giten, anyway), but definitely worthy of consideration, alongside its predecessor. Not sure exactly how to describe this one: a side story? A "what if?" alternative take on the original? A story of succession, where the characters of 4 pass the baton over to the party in this one, just to watch them sprint laps? I loved it either way, and would be overjoyed to see this little slice of 3DS gaming preserved on GOG
I never played this myself but I remember seeing ads and coverage of it. The premise of someone being resurected by a god in exchange for service has always stuck with me. I would love to play it and a GOG release would be nice compared to hunting down a 3DS copy.

E.V.O. : Search for Eden
E.V.O. : Search for EdenThe storyline of E.V.O.: Search for Eden follows the same patterns as modern Evolution theories. The players first controls a prehistoric sea organism, and fights to gain evolution points with which he can improve his fish's body parts and upgrade his attack/defense abilities. The gameplay is not completely linear, which means that certain choices of paths and stages will affect the player's success. The game is composed of a series of stages, in which the sea organism slowly evolves into an amphibian, and later a land-only creature. The physical changes are fairly scientifically accurate which gives the game a semi-educational purpose as well.

The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age
The Lord of the Rings: The Third AgeThe Lord of the Rings:The Third Age introduces entirely new characters which aren't mentioned in the books or movies. The game does relate to the movies by including scenes from all three movies, with new background speech by Ian McKellen (Gandalf). There are seven playable characters in the game which have been created specifically for it, as well a small appearances by characters such as Gandalf, Aragorn, Eowyn, Faramir, and Gothmog. The game covers events in all three movies/books, mostly with references to major events shown through cut scenes, or the scenes from the movies with Ian McKellan's narration. A classic RPG game, The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age has gameplay elements similar to Final Fantasy, where you have a party of characters, each with a different set of skills and attributes, who gain levels, making them stronger as the game progresses. Battles are turn-based, and let the gamer make different decisions on what they want to do to change the outcome of the battle. The game travels through many areas throughout Tolkien's Middle Earth, including The Pelennor Fields and Moria.
