This was the first ever game I played on the PS2. It has such an unique story, with bizarre plot twists. The character designs are funky and really suit the story being told. Final Fantasy style story with beat 'em up action sounds like it wouldn't work, but it does!

First PS2 game I ever played as well. Sure it was short but the visuals and characters looked fantastic. In terms of looks it was ahead of what was about to come.
This was my favorite game to play on ps2. Its unique story, Character design and personalities, approach to the rpg mechanic with unlocking moves with points. But what caught my eye was the AI for both enemy and Ally. The fact that ally's actually did damage to help the player. And the mechanic that allowed you to switch character mid story to tell a different perspective of the story. Its also where i was introduced to cybernetics and my love or it grew into loving mecha. Please bring this game back to me. i miss it so much.

There's not been a game quite like this since. It feels like a great contender to bring back to show the power of GOGs mission. I can't imagine anyone else having the motive, but I think it would be a standout.

Samurai Shodown 64
Samurai Shodown 64Samurai Shodown 64 is a 3D fighting game produced by SNK for the Hyper Neo Geo 64 system in 1997. It is the fifth game in Samurai Shodown series and the seventh of the official chronology. It was SNK's first attempt to bring one of their franchises into the 3D realm. It received relatively no distribution outside of Japan, and is thus not very well known. After having released two semi-prequels in the Samurai Shodown series on the 16-bit Neo Geo, SNK announced that they would be producing a new arcade hardware platform, this one 64-bit and with extensive 3D capabilities.

Devil Kings
Devil KingsDevil Kings is in the same vein as the Dynasty Warriors series. Whereas in Dynasty Warriors, however, Koei focuses on ancient Chinese history, Devil Kings focuses more on feudal Japan, but with a fictional setting with the ability to use modern day weapons such as chain guns and shotguns as well as fighting legendary and fictional characters from the past. The story takes place as the Devil King, a king possessed by the soul of the Devil, has unleashed an unholy army on the world to bend it to his will as the player must stop him along with many of his minions including his wife Lady Butterfly, his general the Red Minotaur, as well as loyal assassins Scorpio and Venus. The gameplay is more arcade hack-and-slash style, with the ability of using magic spells to wipe out entire waves of enemies and as mentioned before, the ability to use modern day weapons along with historical weapons such as spears, swords among others. There are six playable characters to use as well, each with their own story told in CG and anime cutscenes as well as two modes of play, Conquest (the main story of the game) and Free Mode (where players can play in any unlocked stage they have completed).
