    Mediocre Games that you got really into…

    What I mean is the games that weren’t really receiving a lot of attention but you ended up falling in love with anyway.

    Also, I like spam fritters

    Hmm... use of a site immediately made me think advertising...

    I don't think I have any myself, but I know of someone who LOVES Bus Simulator... no, I'm not kidding.

    Kingpin - Life of Crime
    Brilliant online fun, bunny hopping and all sorts.

    Tactical Ops - Assault on Terror
    Based on the original counter strike engine, really fun online FPS

    Baldur’s Gate I and II
    Not mediocre but was never as popular as I wanted it to be, even now I sometimes play it, and it’s just an immense game with a myriad of things to do. For its day and age, I'm still in love with it

    Summoner springs to mind for me. Truthfully its been the only RPG I couldn't get enough of! Put in a lot of hours to get it completed! Had a really interesting storyline as well, if I recall correctly it was one of the first direct x 7.1 games! The sequel was only on PS2, absolutly gutted about that

    Re: Mediocre Games that you got really into…

    Yeah, Summoner was different to a lot of the RPG's out at the time, loved it myself. Never actually played the 2nd one though. Think I may have the first one about somewhere on the PC.

    Few others I enjoyed were Project Nomads, you had a weird floating island which you put defences and armaments on. Can't remember the back story but it was a cool game. At times you headed onto land and could fly about with a jetpack. Think I need to reinstall it and play through again.

    Giants Citizen : Kabuto, such a fun game full of humour. Each section was nearly a full game in its own right. I know it got released on PS2 also but never seemed to get the recognition it deserved. The people that done it also done Armed and Dangerous, which granted was a decent enough game in its own right but didn't have the same flair that Giants had.

    Psychonauhts, another game that passed many people by. It is such a great game and well worth playing. Highly origional and demands your attention, first mission that you do inside someones head (training mission) has you thinking WTH but it really is something different and worth taking notice of.

    Does The Godfather game count?
    I spent ages on that game and loved every moment of it. Got 100% etc.

    Oh, and Gun. It was pretty mainstream but not a lot of people liked it. I spents hours on that as well.

    Chronicles of Riddick
    Loved that, and no one ever mentions it anymore.

    The Thing, same again.

    But ultimately, its gotta be Lineage2, while everyone else played WoW, I was a Lineage 2 man, through and through.

    On PS2, I'd say Kerushi.

    Call of Jaurez - sure it had its faults (most of Billys missions) but i really liked it after it sat on the shelf for month or 3 when i finally got into it i was glad i had.

    Quake 4 for some reason its one of the most enjoyable shooters that ive played even tho its not really rememberd as anything special.

    Jedi Outcast - did everything well without being a ground breaker...
    Jedi Academy - same again really but ive played it through a few times and love it
    Smackdown Vs Raw 08 I love it yes it has its faults but the misses bought it for xmas for £8 and play it all the time

    Permanently confused

    - hana_vivi is on about 50 other forums with her one post advertising the same game.
    - I suggest this thread be removed

    Or just get a mod to remove their post, and replace it with their own description.

    it's definitely Crysis for me, the story wasn't all that good but the graphics just make it such a hypnotic game

    I remember an Airfix branded game from a few years back where your flew a model spitfire around a house, engaging in dog fights with other model planes. That was great fun

    but Crysis was hyped to death... so it's not really considered mediocre.

    I agree about Q4 though.. it got some pretty lousy reviews but I liked it a lot
