Last Gen Gems (360/PS3/Wii)

I was going to say Wet is dirt cheap enough that it's worth checking out, but apparently Gamestop no longer sells it for the $3 like it did less than a year ago.

Viking Battle for Asgard - Decent brainless hack and slash with a sort of interesting army mechanic. I think this got ported to PC not too long ago.
Civilization Revolution - a lot of people kind of wrote this game off as a dummy console Civ but it was its own beast and quite entertaining. It played a lot like a modern version of Civ 1 with a very good MP mode.
de Blob 2 - fun little platformer. I think the first one came out on Wii only, but the 2nd came out everywhere and looked really good.
Midnight Club LA - this was one of the best racers on Xbox 360. Looked amazing and had tons to do. I think a lot of people wrote it off because it was really really hard, but the game had this dynamic difficulty that adjusted pretty quickly. Just needed to get your ass kicked a few times.

de Blob 2 was one of those games that everyone couldn't dump quick enough. There's been several times I've passed on $5 new copies. Now I'm intrigued.

I take that as a compliment.

De Blob was a delightful, stylish and freakishly easy game.

Any of you asshats with a Wii U and kids should have the Wii Klonoa reboot. Little King Story gets a nod as usual too.

Oh man, I forgot about Viking! I didn't have a 360 when it came out and I wanted to play it because I like Spartan: Total Warrior a lot.

This thread has served me well.

You would.

But you probably shouldn't because jesus christ who lists LA Noire & two Hitman games in a hidden gems list.

But you're right about the light gun games and puppeteer

Considering I was posting to myself in the Absolution thread until haoh played it like a year late, I think it fits. Where to draw the line isn't easy though, and TNL is different than most places in both directions.
