    As my title can tell you, there are many games out there that isn't, well, just as well known. If you personally love a game which you think deserve a little more attition, well, here is the place to tell us about such games and adverize you love for it. :P

    [My Example]:.________________________________________

    A game which I think it not well known is Atelier Iris 1, 2, and now 3. True, it got a few fans to have 3 in the serise, but it isn't as well known as... let say Final Fantasy or the Tales of game.

    The three games has nothing to do with each other but their basic concept is the same. It is a turn-base RPG, but it's systhesis system and mana system can give a twist. First of all, you gather food and items to make your own food, medication, and weapones. Second, with the power of mana, you get to raise character's stats as well as solvepuzzles and gain new ability depends on which character you equipe said mana on.

    I only played the 1 and 3 but it's quirky character and unique designs keeps me laughing though out both of the story. If you have some free time, this is one of the games I recommand you to pick up cause it is a funny and fun old time RPG to play. ^_^

    So now I shared my, what games do you all think deserves a little more attition then it had got?

          F-Zero GX. The game is far from small, as it's packed with tons of unlockables, including vehicles, tracks, music, custom vehicle parts, profiles, movies...

          It was obviously a very high-budget game, the excellent graphics and sound/music give that away. I do NOT understand why it sold so badly, this is one of THE best games I've ever played. The dynamic music, which might be some of the best VG music I've ever heard, really gives the game a great atmosphere, and the replayability is awesome, since F-Zero GX is hard as nails, and it'll take a lot of practice to be able to beat the Master difficulty. Amusement Vision has really outdone themselves.

          This game is worth any amount of money, and although the multiplayer isn't as good as Mario Kart's, you'll have a ton of fun playing F-Zero GX.

            I'm pretty sure that people didn't like it because it was insanely hard. Or maybe that was some other F-Zero...But I think it was that one.

            Contact: While not as un-hyped as others, a lot of people don't know what this game is. It's innovative "contact the game world" concept actually started me thinking, unlike other games. The combat is new, and doesn't rely on button mashing, the graphics are wonderful, and there are all sorts of underlying subjects in it. I'm not sure how well it sold, but I'm betting it was not too much. Coming from Grasshopper and Suda 51, the people behind Killer 7, it has to be good, but not many people bought it.

            Pretty much the same thing with Electroplankton. It is a beautiful game, yet not many people bought it. I can understand this a little better than Contact though, because you have to be a certain kind of person to like this game.

              Yes, this is that F-Zero. It's extremelly hard, but if I was able to unlock every single thing in the game, and that means having to finish GP's on Master difficulty with some of the very bad vehicles, than others can do it too.

                Zelda games :blink:

                Pikmin. Aren't too little, but they didn't sell nearly enough as it should have. Dammit, lack of Nintendo ad's. Great game and if anybody critisizes it for being too short, I will actually kill them.

                  I agree with FD, I just got Contact a few days ago, and it is very well made.

                  I have to say the Breath of Fire games. They were pretty cool. I think the first was better than the second, but both have a good storyline and interesting characters.

                    Tales Of Symphonia. It's awesome, and my favourite game ever, but the PS2 version overshadowed it with a few new features. Damn you PS2.

                      I would have thought that Tales of Symphonia came into the category of well known games.
                      I've always felt that the 'Destroy All Humans' series isn't as popular as it should be. It's a fun series, even if the second game was a bit weaker than the original.

                        TOS sold well, but the PS2 version overshadowed it.

                          You talking about Tales of Legendia, that game sucked. I mean, the story was alright, I guess, and the voice acting was adaquite, but I hated the 2D, left/right, battle system. Espesaly after playing ToS and being used to the more 3D battle system.

                            Actually they did make a PS2 version of Symphonia, but I thought that was only Japan.

                              It was, and that version was released about a year after the GC one. So you can't really say the GameCube game was overshadowed by the PS2 game.

                                But if the new one has more features you would really want that one wouldn't you?

                                  Of course, but only if I didn't get the original version. Still, you can't say the GC version was overshadowed, if that was the only console you could get the game for about a year, and only Japan got this better version.

                                    I suppose...

                                    Metroid Zero Mission. Just because it's a remake, doesn't mean that it's just an updated version. It's still an awesome game.

                                      Out of new experiences I'd say Chocobo Tales. The game itself is fairly good, but WiFi battles are surprisingly enjoyable.
