Top 10 Games that Deserve a Second Chance

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The video game industry is a pretty cutthroat place. More often than not the cycle of a game’s life is pretty set in stone – a title is announced, hyped ,released and hopefully it’s a hit. However sometimes things don’t go as planned and a game doesn’t hit home with gamers. Not that’s it a bad game per say but due to a myriad of issues or the general mood of the world at the time the game isn’t remembered so fondly as its contemporaries. So for this week’s Top 10 we’re listing off ten titles that you should probably give a second chance to because they really are decent titles and deserve more love than they ever got."

I enjoyed Kane and Lynch. I would love to see a PS All-Stars 2 or a non-Smash take on a PlayStation fighter. Maybe a Marvel v Campcom style but with larger levels.

PhoenixUp2167d ago

Can Tekken X Street Fighter even get a first chance

FallenAngel19842167d ago

I’d rather Nintendo give Star Fox Assault a second chance and make another new game in that style. I like that game way better than Star Fox Adventures

wonderfulmonkeyman2167d ago

I heartily agree.
Maybe even a sequel with that new walker from Star Fox Zero.[yes I know it's originally from Star Fox 2, but most of us know it from Zero because we didn't get to play SF2.]

SSj4Yagami2166d ago

More people played SF2 than SFZ thanks to SNES Mini, and emulation. Also, Star Fox Adventure > Star Fox Assault.

wonderfulmonkeyman2167d ago

The Conduit.

Just, give us a reboot of that for Switch and make it bigger and better than the original, which had potential but never got off the ground due to being on the Wii.

Unpopular af opinion: give Castlevania 64 and Deadpool a second chance

wonderfulmonkeyman2166d ago

Castlevania 64 was an amazing game for its time and I'd LOVE to see it get a proper remake or reboot.

Freedom Fighters was one of my favorite OG Xbox game

UCForce2356d ago

I played Freedom Fighter on PC when I was a kid. Damn, the game was so freaking good.

strayanalog2356d ago

I can live with this IO. So how about that sequel, so I can forgive you already?

Kyosuke_Sanada2355d ago

WOW!!!!!! I would be so hyped if Freedom Fighters returned but it's very disappointing that Kane and Lynch is still on ice because the story has so much potential. Both games also features Jesper Kyd's best work.

Good idea, Shame about the game - Kane & Lynch

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men was only ever remembered for one thing, the firing of Gamespot’s Jeff Gerstmann. On the whole, we tend to dismiss bad games into oblivion.

I liked the game, it wasn't perfect but it was a great co-op rollercoaster ride of a game.

PixelGateUk2696d ago

I liked Dog Days as well, it's just a shame the games always felt rather under cooked

InMyOpinion2696d ago

Especially the sequel. I loved it!

morganfell2696d ago

I loved both and the coop in the second was really well done.

Garethvk2696d ago

Remember the plannned Hollywood film series?

PixelGateUk2696d ago

Aye, they even had scripts in development before the game bombed. The game was nominated for a BAFTA before it was even released...

freshslicepizza2696d ago

wasnt bruce willis attached to it at one time?

PixelGateUk2696d ago

Yep! I believe he was the desired choice to play Kane. The whole film project just fizzled out

Yui_Suzumiya2696d ago

This is what I wish IO was still working on.. never enjoyed Hitman.. too difficult for my tastes.. but I love Kane & Lynch.. especially Dog Days!!

BenRC012696d ago

Loved dog days. Brilliant story and solid shooting.
