While the gaming industry has its success stories and million-sellers like Halo, Call of Duty, and World of Warcraft, there are games out there that stood out just as much with fantastic gameplay and unique concepts that didn’t sell anywhere near as well.

While they may have not made mountains of money, here is my top 10 games that should be in every gamer’s library (but likely aren’t).

10. Okami
by Capcom Entertainment

A case of a game doing extremely well in the ratings and selling quite poorly, Okami is looking to get a new lease on life with the upcoming Wii port.

9. Oddworld Stranger's Wrath
by EA Games

Stranger’s Wrath had a fantastically realized world and fun and quirky gameplay, but failed to be a mainstream hit.

8. Conker's Bad Fur Day
by Nintendo

Conker’s Bad Fur Day stands as both one of the finest platformer games to date as well as a scathing commentary on the genre, but released too date in the N64’s life to strike a chord with mainstream gamers.

7. Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
by Atlus USA

Incredibly bizarre story elements and intriguing story elements made Persona 2 worth playing for any RPG fan, but didn’t make a huge splash.

6. Shenmue
by SEGA

One of the most layered and meticulous adventure games on any system, Shenmue’s great story unfortunately proved to be too much for Dreamcast gamers looking for a quicker fix.

5. Motor City Online
by EA Games

A fun and engaging online racer, Motor City Online had too many technical problems and eventually collapsed.

4. ICO
by SCEA

Although the game is now constantly name-dropped as one of the true examples of video games as an art form, when the atmospheric adventure game launched, it wasn’t too terribly successful commercially.

3. Jet Grind Radio
by SEGA

Offering an intriguing concept and revolutionary graphics (this was the game that pioneered cel-shading, after all), Jet Grind Radio was fun and fascinating, but didn’t sell as well as it deserved.

2. Beyond Good & Evil
by Ubisoft

Michel Ancel’s fantastic action-adventure game was a critical sensation, but didn’t sell well enough to finish out the planned trilogy.

1. Psychonauts
by Majesco

A game that many are still hurting over, Psychonauts was a creative and fascinating take on platformers and is widely considered to be one of the best games of the previous generations of consoles. Unfortunately, gamers just didn’t bite and the game became a sad chapter in the history of great games being shoved aside for bigger-named fare.

Probably the greatest game ive ever played,the storyline cannot be beaten,u have to get a job,ask questions,the game is just great,a masterpiece

Okami should have won Game of the year but wasn't nominated, (i think). It clearly should have won best action game but ****ing dead rising won. I mean I loved dead rising but Okami was pure art, what a game it was. ****e TV Game awards is ****, ****ing popularity contest.

Shenmue was a fantastic game, I loved it. Very innovative even for todays standards. I hope it gets picked up by a next gen system, There were supposed to be like 7 Shenmue games but the Dreamcast failed :frown:

****ed up,ive been waitin for Shenmue 3 for years

shamuee!!! shamue 2 was even better and more impossible

Games that I have always loved are the horse racing games. I know it doesn't sound fun, but I played one on Dreamcast and one on Playstaion and damn they were fun. I wish PS3 would make a horse racing game, but I don't know since the demand probably won't be so high.

Eternal Dakness was a great game that no cunt seemed to have heard of.

I remember some great games from yesteryear.

Andre Panzas Kickboxing was awesome as was Defender of the Crown.

most gamers who had a dreamcast owned or played both jet grind radio and shenmue, and you can find shenmue2 for the xbox dirt cheap@ gamestop.

I'll agree with number 1 though, even I never played it.

If you can't find it and want to play it, it's for sale on Xbox LIVE market place for 1,500 points.

I'll add Soukaigi for the PS1. Great RPG that should've been made for the PS2/PS3/360. Very underated game.

Medival and Medival 2 for Playstation

Gangsters 2 Vendetta for the pc. ive been dying to play Gangsters: organized crime, but i cant find it.

DAMN I miss Jet Set Grind Radio, that game had me playing it for a long ass time. They really need to make a new one. Along with Shenmue that game was insane, they really need to release a next gen title.

I actually bought dreamcast for Shenmue alone

the early pc morrowind titles, bethesda never really got the recognition it deserved until oblivion in my opinion

lol yeah it was the hardest boss ive ever faced
i had to use my brother to alert me of the clones movements for me
the trick was when the ***** is about to yell just use all your mp quick heal cure your sickness and cast powered bullet and u can also get 2 clean shots at her if u are fast enough
i was stuck in that fight like two weeks

ya i loved that unlike in other rpgs u could dodge attacks by moving around and the monsters were scary specially the invisible ones by the end of the game i was just running from everything that attacked

I wish I still had the game, I shouldn't play it though, because it's never as good as you remember. I learnt that by playing FF8 again.

I found out a cheat (sort of) for FF8. You know the draw ability? well if you draw 100x magic for every character you have the monsters magic changes to the next lvl magic. eg; Draw 100x fire and the monsters magic becomes fira then firaga and after that comet or ultima.

Last FF I played was 10 and I absolutely loved it. I didn't really fancy 12 because it's not the turn base action like the other FF games, I hope it's as good as everyone says!
