Under rated games

We've all played them. Games that we loved that for some inexplicable reason never succeeded like they should have. Games with stellar stories and good game play that never took off, dooming them to the bargain bins of doom. I'd like to take a moment or two and talk about some of the games that I was fortunate enough to come across that were woefully overlooked by the gaming community. I hope for this to be a semi-regular feature with each one talking about a different game or games.

For this instalment Primal. I can't say enough about how good this game is. Gorgeous visuals, a great story and fantastic voice acting by none other than Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar of Babylon 5) and Hudson Leik (Calisto from Xena: Warrior Princess). Its a shame that a game as good as Primal flopped like it did. It deserved much better for trying to tell a mature story and actually using the shoulder buttons for combat instead of the standard fare. If you happen to find this one pick it up and give it a go. Just be aware that the game is rated M, in case you happen to be a minor.

That's all for this instalment. If you have any ideas of your own feel free to share.

End of Line
