Basically all games in this list fell in the dark, brown and orange hues, the era of "we're grown up now, we don't like colored and bright games", when that game Eternal Sonata appeared out of the blue my TV almost exploded, the only colored and bright game. I liked that one you control the cursor, looks abstract and smart.

After the great comeback that Namco is on, with Tales of Arise, Ace Combat and Elden Ring, I really hope they find a way to bring back Ridg Racer. ( A Remaster of Ridge Racer V, like they did for Ace Combat 5 )

[@madcat4563]

Man this is why the PS3 is my favourite console. Such a vast array of games to choose from and developers still took chances and risks to make unique games. And a lot of the games are still cheap to buy.

Man, you have a Fat PS3 those things are so ancient. Some of them can be quite rare in working condition, since the now well known GPU balling defect.

[@AJ72281]

Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard is so grossly underrated. It might not have been the best game ever mechanics wise, but the story is nostalgic and funny for gamers in their 30s/40s. The fact that it’s so self aware as a video game adds to the humor too. It’s nice to see it on a list like this for a change......

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Totally agree man, deserved so much more attention!

[@ozzyozcorn]

I never heard about Wet, but it looks awesome. Like a mix of Max Payne, Tomb Raider and Jet Li: Rise of Honor. I wish they made more games with those movements and animations.

[@feministadentata4041]

It reminds me a bit of Chilli con Carnage (on the PSP) as well! Similar humor and such.

[@ministerofjoy]

Great investigation and communication work, thank you

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks!

[@Ramaxx95]

I love Alpha Protocol. It's a game where your decisions truly affect the story. On a side note, a game I feel it's quite overlooked is Binary Domain: pretty great TPS with a grippy and interesting story (it's made by Ryu Ga Gotoku, the devs of Yakuza games). If you can't find it on Ps3 or Xbox360, it is available on Steam.

[@ElOctopodo]

Binary Domain is absolutely underrated, it's such a blast of a game.

[@ebesonen]

I'm glad i have heard of every game on this list, my favorite game is definitely Eternal Sonata, a very historic and musical JRPG, I loved the adventure both Fredrick and Polka both shared, I'm glad Eternal Sonata made your list and all of your other good games to, this was a very good list TVGS thank you very much ✌️

[@thatvideogamesshow]

I’ll second that, Eternal Sonata is one of my favourite RPGs! Thanks for watching mate 🙂

[@HertzBlut]

It's videos like this that makes me sure I choose wisely when subbing a while back. All games (except Fuse) I've played and enjoyed as much as you apparently had (On Xbox 360 mind you). Just the sheer description of Dark Void is so spot on. It was easy for everyone to jump on the hate train and shit all over the game. But you get it. It's so refreshing to see people going under the surface of the immediate experience and just enjoy it with the mindset of what the developers actually wanted to do. God these games brings back memories. Thank you. Still have everysinge one in the collection(again except Fuse, which I will have to try and find for the PS3)

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks for this comment man, it means a lot 🙂

[@bulloguin]

Eternal Sonata is a beautiful game full of classical music vibe making a most own for me. Child of Eden is a game that deserves to be PSVR. I’m also a fan of Ridge Racer but I never tried Unbound, I might give it a try. Great video and great videogames!

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks bulloguin 🙂 would love to see child of Eden hit VR, it would make so much sense! Yeah unbounded is good it just really deviates from the usual formula, but is still worth giving a go!

[@sebastian_manuells]

Eternal Sonata & Child of Eden should get a PC port just like how El Shaddai recently got one.

[@chowsu944]

great list and i remember most of them

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks Richard!

[@stashmerkin9576]

Did you ever play Rez on the PS2 or Dreamcast? Child of Eden is by the same developer.

[@FutureAlien]

Even better, it was actually a spiritual successor to Rez. Alas, while I love Rez to bits, I couldn't get into Child of Eden as much, mostly because the first-person view (as opposed to Rez's third-person) makes it harder to understand when you've been hit. It's still a great game though.

I love fuse, it was like a futuristic version of the conflict series(desert storm I and II, Vietnam and global terror)

[@Atomxtube]

I never heard of "fuse", looks interesting. It reminds me to "binary domain", that game deserves a coop mode.

[@darthXreven]

Fuse is pretty much what Mass Effect would be without the RPG mechanics and biotic/tech powers IDK, I wasn't impressed when i played it lol but Binary Domain that was actually awesome, really good weapon handling, accuracy, squad mechanics all that even the difficulty gets harder but eases you into it as you go, there's always some hard obstacle but not impossible to pass, at least that's my take on it hell I was bored when i played binary but jumped in thinking this'll suck probably and it ended up being one of my fave games of the cycle lol that same thing happened to me on Fallout 3, w3ent in with a low opinion and ended up loving it and New Vegas lol

[@beedeelive]

Multiplayer frenzy

[@feministadentata4041]

I've played Fuse, it's okay. It scratches that itch when you already replayed the Mass Effect and Uncharted trilogies in the same year and the only console you own is the PS3. :) Spec Ops: The Line is a better itch-scratcher though. Same thing, but it adds an interesting morality tale to the mix.

Ignore the hater. Wet is a fairly generic shooter wrapped in a 1970’s grind house blanket. The music is great rockabilly. My suggestion, as someone who owns it on PS3 and Xbox is turn the sound down. The constant sound of bullets firing gets annoying. It’s fun and cheesy but it’s based on grind house films so that’s why the other guy hates it.

Dark Void had the potential but just didn't quite deliver. If I recall the controls were quite bad and I only played a few hours of the game because of it. Maybe Capcom should be buying Bioware and having them take the knowledge from Anthem [mechanically] and rebooting the IP. I know, I know, laughable idea that won't happen. Still, I'd love to see a game really nail flight mechanics in a beautiful world with a solid story...... Eternal Sonata is an absolute gem. was going to mention taking a look at Dark Sector but that was mentioned during one of the videos. That was such a fun and solid title that far to many people overlooked. Shit a year after release they were giving away copies for under $10. real shame it didn't get love
