I would imagine you would mention Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. It had good graphics, great gunplay and action, funny moments and a lot of fun times had.

The second they mentioned Republic Commando, they did not need to go farther

I LOVED Base Wars. Seeing that and Primal Rage at the top of the list made my day, along with Planescape. I always wanted a sequel to Arcanum, I loved the idea of orcs with shotguns and bowler hats.

Gemini and Dragoon, played those to death. Though I never finished Dragoon cause I lost the 4th disc, DOH!

YES! Shadow of Rome! Axe the stealth missions but keep the ridiculously gory gladiator combat, and I'll buy it first day.

Man, I bought Breakdown just a few months before i bought my 360 and i only played like an hour of it and i always wanted to get back into it. I effing love Freedom Fighters, none of my friends knew about that game and it was definitly my favorite game for a long time.

Phenominal list GR, but where is Conker's Bad Fur Day?

I reckon that there's a fair few games on consoles like the Mega Drive that could warrant franchises. I remember loving games like Dynamite Headdy and Flink. Headdy could definately be good for a sequel.

Also, wouldn't mind seeing another Second Sight. Although company has kinda gona under...so maybe not.

I think GamesRdar is psychic, cause every time i see "The Con" I always think its "The Bouncer" and then i was thinking, hey they should put "The Bouncer" on this list, and i scroll down to see it right there. Someone at GDar probably thought the same thing when they put in "The Con", which i never even heard of.

I have a love/hate relationship with Oni. On one hand, it was a great design and gameplay concept with a great aesthetic. On the other, it had less-than-stellar controls (and that's an understatement). In fact, really the only thing I didn't like about the game was how it played. Still, I want a sequel, BUNGIE.
