With so few good new titles being released these days, especially by major studios, I figured I'd make a thread for everyone to share your favourite classic or older games, especially if they're lesser-known titles that others might have missed at the time.
I'll open with The Saboteur (2009), Mercenaries (2005) and Saints Row 2 ( The 2008 original)
KOTOR (the first one. The second one was weird) remains probably my favourite game of all time. It is brilliant. The comic series of the same name (different story, but same canon) is very good, too.
But seriously, it is excellent, and, I believe, quite influential on other, non-Star Wars games that came after it.
Star Wars Battlefront (again, the first one) is fun, too, although whether it is "good" or not is a matter of opinion.
And I would also put my vote in for Age of Empires I, Age of Mythology and COD 2, as those seem to be somewhat... Underrated entries in those franchises.
Lol, this isn't so much a "good" game, but does anyone remember playing Bugdom..? I wasted many an hour during early High School (middle school equivalent, for the US) playing that and those Stickman action games, lol...
Also fucking Duke Nuke'em, which... Was very adult, for like, 12 year old me, lol... I distinctly remember you could give strippers cash to get them to flash their tits for you. Though I didn't fully "get" that, at the time.
Would not say it was a particularly "good" game, however. Ha.
