this list brings back so many memories. i always thought chaos legion deserved more attention (i didnt think the game got really good until almost after you beat it), and ive been pining for a guardian heroes sequel ever since the original. throw in a new panzer dragoon saga and im a happy man. great list overall

OKAMI is one of the top 5 greatest games ive ever played...and im a hardcore gamer so thats saying alot cause its not a hardcore game. it is challenging at points but if u have it PLAY IT THROUGH its totally worth it and if uve never played it go get it...and if uve never heard of it go dig a hole and live in it cause u probably have the last like 5 years anyways. SEQUEL PLEASE!!!

I think these need a sequel.
Psychonauts
Black
Armed & Dangerous
Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri
Breakdown
Freedom Fighters
Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
War of the Monsters
and
Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse.

You also forgot G-NOME for Windows 98. I loved G-NOME. Yes, the difficulty curve was like running into a brick wall (They even gave you the level select cheat in the manual) and the graphics were terrible, even for a game made in 1997, but it was fun, had very cool teams (The Darken, the Scorp, the Bendian Mercenaries and the Humans), had an interesting story and started my love for mech simulators.

I am suprised there was no mention of Zoids Battle legends. I would love to have a hidef sequel

@ Cyberninja:
You're right, I can't believe they mentioned those things about Okami. If you're stuck at the blockhead I was stuck at, there's a shortcut around him you know...

I'm glad The Bouncer was on here. I love that game.

So many of these games deserve sequels especially Urban Chaos.That game was awesome.It was the only good FPS that gave you a shield to use so easily and it gave you a lot of cool ways to use it and don't even get me started on the slow motion kill cams ****ING BRUTAL! I also think Headhunter for the PS2 I don't know if it came out for Xbox should have been on here. It a lot of cool concepts with the uprading with the VR training, the motorcycle and the missions varied well.Yeah the ending was a little weird with the giant ADAM boss but I think it was still a great game.

Jet Force Gemini, Okami and Chaos Legion are ones I would kill to see sequels for!

Although I don't see Drakan anywhere on this list - it's yet another game I would like to see continued.

Alter Echo was a great game, when i asked my friends about it, they had NO idea what the hell i was talking about, if a publisher could reinvent this game i think cream would abundently overflow my pants

Dibbs on putting Boogerman on here... Game still to this day is good. Fingers crossed for the hopeful eventual release of a new PS3 HD Jet Moto.

Thanks for the memories. Alot of these games could definately make for some epic next gen sequels in the right hands.

Jet Moto!!! One of my PlayStation faves.
