I remember playing:
Psychonauts: amazing game, Tim Schafer is a genius
Metal Arms: An awesomely creatibve title, it's a shame it sold so poorly
Okami: Amazing. It is an absolute crime that this didn't sell, and one of the greatest travesties of gaming
Space Station Silicon Valley: I have vague memories of playing this with my friend on his N64. I also have vague memories of being addicted to it.

Oddworld 2 and Beyond Good and Evil were both incredible! lookin forward to Beyond G&W 2 and hopefully they'll bring out an oddworld 3

mmm shenmue 2, I just had to finish it, possibly the most boring game I've ever played.

Why GTA:CW tanked? I.think you're over-thinking it, Gamesradar. The real reason I say is because it was TOP-VIEW. No one wants to play GTA from above anymore. Rockstar got over confident.

Oddworld was probably the first fps I played on the xbox. And I loved every second of playing it, truly a classic for the ages.

All this time I have been wondering if there was a Shenmue II............ (Okami is one of the best games ever)

space station silicon vally ftw!! it really isnt a game for kids, just because theyd get bored (the jokes wouldnt make sense to a young mind) i loved half of these games, it pains me to hear they did poorly.
