Ico (PS2) Gameplay
I am officially taking this off of my Underrated Gem list, as, when I first put this video up, Ico still had some underrated status, even if it was growing in popularity at the time, but it still wasn't a huge mainstream success. In the 9 years since I posted this video, it has become a mainstream name. So those who were confused as to why I added it to the list to begin with, it didn't used to be as well known as it is today.
OK, here it is the most overrated underrated gem of all time. I'm not saying it's a bad game. in fact its a damn great game, but I am saying that it's kinda iffy to put on as a lesser known game after every gaming magazine and website under the sun has given this their top spot for most underrated game of all time.
Ico is an awesome game, and should be experienced by everyone, but as far as it being lesser know, or overlooked, I don't think it falls into that category anymore.
When it first hit it was definitely overlooked, but now that people have been tooting their horns for years about this game, I think that most gamers have heard of this game.
Ico is a great game, a short one, but great nonetheless, and I don't want people to think I'm criticizing the game for not being as good as it's said to be, because it is an awesome game. I'm just saying that it's not exactly unknown by any stretch of the imagination.
Ico is only available on the PS2.
Also look into Shadow of the Colossus it's semi-sequel. Shadow sold well enough to be a greatest hit, so I won't be putting it on my underrated gems list, but it's also a great game.

THE F
the-first-ten-minutes-of-breath-of-fire
This is played on a PS2 with texture smoothing on.
Here is the first ten minutes of play in the PS1 RPG Breath of Fire III.
Though BoF III is a really good PS1 RPG, it still pales in comparison to the two Snes BoF games. However, it's still a great RPG to play.
I love the art style of games like this. The 2D sprites in a 3D polygonal world add more charm than the predendered backgrounds in other popular PS1 RPGs which feel kinda lifeless by comparison.
I'm actually thinking of showing the first ten minutes of every PS1 RPG I own. I haven't really been showing much for RPGs in my vids despite having a decent collection of them, but that's because RPGs are hard to show footage of. They're not games that you can easily pop in, and take easy footage of. There's a lot more too them.
The easiest thing for me to do is just show the beginning of them. Chances are though that every RPG out there already has tons of vids on it (which is also why they're hard to cover), but I'm still going to do my own series of vids on them I guess.

XIII
xiii-ps2-online-play
Here a vid showing the online play of the PS2 game XIII.
As you can see, not a lot of people still play this game online. There were at one time two other people playing, but in the end it was just me and one other guy. A whole two of us online.
I think this game doesn't get played that often because it doesn't support a mic, or even a USB keyboard, so there's no to communicate with the other players.
This footage was captured on 08-07-08.

KILLZ
killzone-hd-(ps3)-gameplay
Just the infamous beach scene and beyond from the original Killzone as played on the PS3 via the Killzone Trilogy collection. I still love the original Killzone. I understand why people don't, it's definitely flawed in many areas, especially when it comes to technical glitches in both the PS2, and HD remaster.
If you want to know my full thoughts on the game, I did a whole review on it here: https://youtu.be/sCy9IRHKok8

GOD O
god-of-war-ghost-of-sparta-(ps3-psp)
Just playing some footage of Ghost of Sparta off The God of War Origins Collection which features HD Remasters of bot PSP God of War games. Not owning a PSP, I never got to experience the PSP God of War games. If you are a God of War fan, or have played any God of War game before 2018, this is par for the course, meaning, it's an excellent game, but you already know what to expect here.
Fantastic fighting system, exploration elements in a more linear environment, puzzle elements, and a lot of epic production values. I guess I have unwittingly become a pretty big fan of the original series, because I really like all the games, even Ascention. There are parts of them I don't like (some cheap enemies, and of course, the QTE's), but overall, I've become a fan over the years.
If you have a PS3, look into The God of War Origins collection. It's definitely worth picking up, especially if you are like me, and never owned a PSP.

random-game-box-review-armored-core-2
This is my second attempt at a review, so, please bear with me. last week, I was looking through a stack of my recent gamestop buys, games that don't have cases, just have CD sleeves, and I finally, after much debate, decided to play through an Armored Core game. Having owned 5 games in the series for years, I figured that the time was right to finally play one from start to finish.

MCDON
mcdonald's-treasure-land-adventure
Here's a strange mixture: beloved hardcore developer Treasure, and the worlds leading exporter of childhood diabetes and obesity, Mcdonalds, combined to make a surprisingly fun platformer. I haven't played Mc Kids on the NES, but I'm willing to bet that so far, McDonalds Video games are better than Burger King's.
Far from Treasure's best 16-bit efffort, but still a solidly playing platformer geared towards kids, and fitted with solid gameplay mechanics, Treasure Land Adventure won't blow you away in any aspect, but it's a good, well made, and solid title all around. It's totally weird, but it's solid.

THE P
the-powerpuff-girls-chemical-x-traction
This is another one I got in an Ebay game lot. This is played on a PS2 with texture smoothing on.
Though this game isn't spectacular, and is a bit too hard for the target audience (being kids), I was actually surprised by it a little. I was expecting a crappy licensed game, and I got a surprisingly playable fighting game that has almost a diet Powerstone feel to it. It's not in the same league as Powerstone, don't get me wrong, but it's actually not that bad. It's playable if not a little repetitive, but there is some fun to be had with the game which is surprising considering the subject matter.
As I said though, the game is actually pretty tough. I'm playing this game on the default difficulty (easy), and as you can see, I'm not having a particularly easy time with it. In fact in the final match of the vid, I get slaughtered. This game can be really tough at times, and the enemies don't seem to miss much. Plus when you pick up items to throw, and they do too, most of the time, they get theirs off before you do making for some frustration at times.
Overall, for a licensed kids game, it's actually, surprisingly, not that bad. I'm not saying it's a must-own, but if you were a Powerpuff Girl's fan back in the day, you may want to look into this.
Note: To those who have played the N64 version which I looked up vids on, this version has more then one song playing which is a plus.

PS2 U
ps2-underrated-gem-mister-mosquito
This is a series of gameplay vids I'm doing highlighting overlooked games for the PS2.
This game is truly weird, and may leave you feeling a little dirty/perverted at times.
You play as..well, a mosquito who torments a poor Japanese family over the course of a summer.
It plays like a flight game of sorts, and the whole ideal is to hit preselected points on your victims to suck however much blood is required without getting squashed.
It's truly a weird game, and may be too niche for some of you.
Mister Mosquito is only on the PS2.

PS2 U
ps2-underrated-gem-the-red-star
To see me cover this game along with four other underrated gems go here: https://youtu.be/oRXH0q_9WNU
This is a series of gameplay vids I'm doing highlighting overlooked games for the PS2.
Based off of a graphic novel of the same name, The Red Star can best be described as successfully combining Contra, a beat 'em up, and a bullet-hell Shmup like Ikaruga.
It successfully combines all those genres into one great package. You can play through it as one , or as you see in this vid, two players. It's got that old school feel to it, and as you go on, the levels get tougher. This is another one that requires that old school gaming patience at times.
The game doesn't have much of a storyline, but it really doesn't need it. It's just a straight up action game. Kill everything that moves, and you get graded on your performance in each level which translates to points you can then spend to upgrade your characters.
If you missed this one, and are a Contra fan, you really need this game.
The Red Star is only available on the PS2. It was going to also be released on the Xbox, but due to the death of Acclaim, that never happened. It's also on the PSP via a PSN download (on the US PSN store), so you can also find it that way. My main focus is on consoles, so as far as console versions go, it's only on PS2.
Here's what I wrote about the game in my recent "My Gaming Week number 17" vid:
I remember back when Acclaim was having financial trouble, I used to visit their website a lot for some reason. I hoped to see them pull out of it, because I had faith that they could make great games even if they chose not to the majority of the time. In fact their entire history was filled with some really bad games, and a few really good ones. Near the end they seemed to wake up to the idea that they had acquired an image of crap, and finally started to develop games that looked really good. One day when browsing their website, I came across The Red Star which was still in development. Just reading about the game made me want it so bad. However, Accliam went under before they ever released the game. The only remnants being a PS2, and Xbox demo of the game. I was bummed, because I really wanted to play the game.
Then I was browsing one of my regular game sites in 2007, and there it was, a review for The Red Star. It turns out XS games picked it up, and finished developing it. The game just rocks. Think Contra meets a beat 'em up meets a bullet-hell Shmup, and you have some of the idea. It even allows for co-op gameplay. I'm not sure how much of the game is still Acclaim's, or how much is new, but this game is proof that ever developers that are looked upon as being crap are capable of making great games if they focus themselves. I can't recommend this game enough.
