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)
Replaying all three of them on my PS2 right now, great games. I would say 2 is probably the best though.
I need to play the first and third, I have only played the second. Worth to play the other two?
1 is a bit rough around the edges, and 3 is solid in my opinion, though it was always my personal favourite. I know some people don't like 3 because there's a little too much in the way of gimmicks where you play as other characters, but I enjoyed them enough.
Personally I think the 1st is the best of the trilogy. It has that basic simplicity and charm that makes it far more replayable on a casual level without a lot of "that fucking part" to go around.
Ripto is probably the better game overall, but if I wanted one to just sit down and play for a while without a lot of thought I'd always pick the original.
I'll probably have to give it a try then, thanks for the recommendation.
