One more. Bloodrayne. The 2nd one was begging for a sequel and, well, have you seen the way she feeds on people? Thats on my 'top ten ways to die' list

theres two. first up, sly cooper. the first game i ever played on my ps2. i instantly loved slys sarcasm and skills, bentleys plans and intelligence and murrays......awesomness. then sly 2 came out and i almost did a backflip! it was even better than the first! they kept all the things that made the first game great, but still keeping it fresh and exiting. then sly 3 came out and i had a little nerdy moment. but wats this? is THAT the ending to this amazing simple but amazingly brilliant series? i sure hope not! please sucker punch! please make another sly game! PLEASE!!!!!!! *ahem* sorry about that, moving on.

the scond one isnt exactly dead but itd be better off if it was, mario. my feelings are, if youre just gonna keep putting him in crappy sports games and stupid adventures, just retire him, let him hang up his hat! or, nintendo could stop d*cking around and make a GOOD mario game for the first time in years.

Jak an Daxter was great but Jax X and Daxter just didn't live up to the main three

I had the most fun with the strike series
Desert Strike
Jungle Strike
Urban Strike
Nuclear Strike................
Now thats a series that needs to come out

ALSO a great game, the sequel of which i have been waiting for: Freedom Fighters.... What a game

The Jak & Daxter games OF COURSE!
Those were the best games ever and it was sad to see Jak X Racing or whatever that stupid game was and Daxter for psp because it isn't the same without both of them and of course actually walking instead of racing in the whole game....

I want a sequel to my favourite game ever, Outcast. It was revolutionary for its time and is still superior to games that came after it.
It had a beautiful open world full of interesting npc's, a great story, third AND first person gameplay options and a huge load of other stuff including an explanation for everything you can do.

How can you fit infinite objects in your backpack? Cause it shrinks the items to an acceptable size.

How can you save and load your game? Cause a special crystal called a 'gaamsaav' saves your 'essence'.

Why do all the alien civilians speak your language when they have their own? Cause the main villian forced them to.

Why does the main character say "Hey, shorty" when getting peoples attention when everyone is taller than he is? Actually...theres no answer for that one. =P

Dino Crisis, I doubt I'm alone in this one but it has to be said that HD was made to shopw off great big detailed dinos on our big flatscreens!

Would also allow Capcom to wipe away th disgrace of "DC3" which, imo, is one of the worst sequels to a previously great series ever. DC3 HD would allow the Capcom to airbrush the previous "mistake" out of gaming history and scare us again like they should have remembered to do with RE5, no?

And while they're at it a new Onimusha would go down pretty well too-much better than waiting for DMC5 if number 4 was anything to go by.

Oh, and I'd also get Crytek to make the new Timesplitters with Cryengine3 tech and the FRD boys they purchased!

And, most obviously of all, VALVE have you given up on our Ep 3?

LOOKING GLASS. System Shock, Thief, Ultima Underworld, and great innovative games with superbly realised and original worlds.

In three years' time after 2K dismantles them, I'll be saying Irrational Games/2K Boston too.

I miss the Shadow Hearts series the most. It was cool having a RPG series with a real setting, but didn't feel the need to be overly-realistic. It also had very memorable characters and story. a great dose of humor. Not to mention the combat system was one of the best ever in any RPG, especially the one in SH3. It's a real shame we will never get another one.

SSX? There's been rumours a-plenty for years but to be honest, it doesn't look to hopeful. I loved those games, they were actually an integral part of my childhood education.

Sly Cooper IS NOT DEAD, just on a temporary hiatus until his games become less like EA's sports games and more like NiGHTS, and Duke Nukem will be revived if the publishers of it have any say about it.

i miss sega and sonic the most. Dont say sonic isnt died, becuase untill the make another 2-d side scrolling arcade type game, he is.

ensemble theyve only been gone for a lil bit but i dont count halo wars because it was nothing like any of the age games. id love to see another age of mythology it being one of the best and most fun rtses ever. PLEASE?

I loved the old Timesplitters games. an HD TS would make my day.
shelcobsohn  - 4 months 28 days ago 
I would love to see a high res version of iggys recking balls. and also jet force gemini
Kleptzilla  - 4 months 28 days ago 
Earthbound. I absolutely loved that game. Shame it can't pull a Jesus and come back from the dead. And no, Ness being in Brawl does NOT count as a new Earthbound game.

Timesplitters. I miss that little monkey.. he was great.

TONY HAWK'S SKATEBOARDING, the original games from the first to the fourth, pre-underground, all went horribly downhill from there... "New Tony Hawk's in development?!?!? :O"... "Oh plastic skateboard... :(" They have ruined the franchise, bring back 2 minute runs, competitions and goals for reach combos of over 500,000 points! Rant over

Classic Hardcore RPGs. The stuff that BioWare pumps out oh so regularly isn't just the kind of basic DnD that is oh so incredible. Games like Baldur's Gate when they were in their prime.
