BREAKDOWN!!! #70! Yeah! I pretty much clicked this article solely in the hopes that you guys would realize the potential in that game!!

Seriously, the story, fighting and twists were just so fantastic. Man give that game a sequel already, even just a spiritual one, or even a remake!

Really enjoyed the list. I do wish though that the game "Draken: The Ancient's Gates" This is still such a good game and is in dire need of a sequel.

I'm impressed that they actually put some (very) few PC games here. Sure, it counted with a bunch of expected Adventures (I was half expecting Gabriel Knight up there, fully aware it had sequels), some jokes (like Space Bunnies Must Die) and the terrifyingly obvious (Planescape: Torment, the RPG that makes all Final Fantasy ashamed of calling themselves so), still it had a couple of surprises. Namely, Sacrifice and, much more surprisingly, Terra Nova.

Still, the PC has tons of missed opportunities. Just to cite one of the top of my head: Die By The Sword. Like a lot of games in this list, it was actually below average and suffered from technological limitations, but taking note of that game's mutilation-based combat married with a workable version of its force-direction-origin oriented controls for strikes would be incredible. Too bad they made the story too generic and were trying with controls way ahead of its time.

Yea Clive Barkers Undying should of been included.
Great list though, i was so happy to see OUTCAST make the list, it's my favourite game ever and everyone should play it!!!! =)

A lot of the ps2 games on the list i have never heard of, even after i did a lot of research to see if i missed any underappreciated gems (yea im sad). This list should come in handy.

I just hope the unoffical Outcast sequel eventually gets released or i become a billionaire so i can buy the rights and get a sequel made myself. =P

Finaly Someone Remembered Legends of Dragoon. It was as they said an epic RPG. IF they made a sequel i would buy whatever system it was comming on (if not Xbox360)
