Lets talk about games that caught everyone by surprise and in some cases overshadowed much well known franchises, I have been a gamer since last 4-5 yrs so I dont have much idea about old games....
Syphon Filter: This game came out when Metal Gear Solid had conquered the world and no-one gave it a chance (everyone thought it as MGS clone which it wasnt) but it managed to give MGS more than a fight and it held its ground against MGS...it offered great gameplay/great weapons, excellent char animation (better than MGS IMO)...auto aim feature was great (it felt great shooting (while running) enemies sitting on rooftops and see them falling down
)....he (I forgot his name) could roll sideways/shoot while running.....infact in a way it created space for 3rd person action/adventure/stealth games like Max Payne/Hitman/Headhunter....
Medal of Honor: This game proved that FPS can be fun on PSX...overall a great game, it had so many thrilling moments (you didnt know from where enemies would pop out)....I dont know if there was any great WW FPS on PC before it...
GTA3: Though this was a well known series much before GTA3, but not many people expected much out of it as last 2 games were pathetic but it did the unthinkable....it overshadowed METAL GEAR SOLID 2:SONS OF LIBERTY....I am sure it must be among 5 top selling games of all time...
Shall write later...dont have much time in office...LOL!
BTW can anyone write about any such games for other consoles (N64 etc)...
