Howdy, once again, pardners! AlienLion counts down ten pretty random games that should have been franchises, as in series, as in they should have had sequels. These are all epic titles that were mostly overlooked and forgotten (well ok, not ALL of them forgotten) for no damn good reason. If you are not familiar with some of them, get off the Internet and get to installin’! Or at least, read about them here to find out if you really should. I wish some of them got remakes as well but they’re worth a few splinters as they are. Anyway, of course, this is not a complete list, and a bit of a sequel is coming up next, but for now, enjoy:
edit: I'm looking up that Landstalker game, it looks fantastic and will probably pick that up
& we never got the damn sequel cuz Midway went belly-up...
sphinx and the cursed mummy
coomix zone
ristar
mirrors edge
I had it on PS2, it was a pretty good game, but also the first to give me gaming fatigue (feeling sick while playing a game) so I never went back to it afterwards.
:(
Are you the one who wrote this article? If so, congrats.
Very well written and hilarious. You are the kinda guy I'd like to sit and talk to over a few drinks talking about games.
Great article. Like to see a Bulletstorm 2, so long as they either go full funny, or full serious, not half half.
Thanks and I NEVER turn down a few drinks. Appreciate the comment.
Damn EA for canning Tiberium.
too human
psi ops
the suffering ( got 2, needs more )
mortal kombat shaolin monks
jade empire
river city ransom
agree with alpha
megaman legends ( i realize it got two as well but come one capcom! get your head out fo your *ss, this was one fo your best series )
last and most importantly, a true sequel to castlevania symphony of the night. remains to this day, my fav game ever ( tied with dark souls of course )
some issues....
-level design was very bland almost uninspired
-sp story got cut way short just as it was starting to get engaging
-needed more loot
-could have used some more variety in the gameplay
but what was there was a solid foundation. with proper time to refine and add new things it could have been something great. assuming it had no more production issues. overall the first is prob a 7ish game but believe me, there is much fun to be had with that game
I for one actually enjoyed Too Human, so did my buddy I played co-op with.
Like Captain Qwark 9 said, it had it's problems, but it was still a blast..
Though, Captain I think it ended short cause it was(?) supposed to be trilogy.
And, I agree about the loot. At least, coulda used a wider variety of loot, anyway.
Black
Kill.Switch
Brute Force
Darkwatch
Project: Overkill
Einhander
Heavenly Sword
Kameo
Thats enough.....I could keep going
I think like Kill.Switch may be the most underrated shooter of the PS2/Xbox/GC generation. Like that shooter was actually amazing.
Love to see Heavenly Sword continued, one of my first ps3 games lol. Brute force, while a pretty bad game, was such a blast playing as the dinosaur with the shotty.
I never really cared for Black to be honest (DONT HIT ME, PLZZZZ!!!!!!!)
And Alpha Protocol, Freedom Fighters and The Saboteur.
Would love to play a new version of that.
Mirror's Edge
Freelancer

Crimson Skies
Colony Wars
Rollcage
Siphon Filter
