  How did I miss Hack n Slash?

Is Gungrave good or an acquired taste?

Wanted....AH FUCK, FORGOT TO NAME MASS EFFECT 2?!!!!!  I'll put that and Deus Ex on my RPG list.

[Foggle]

Gungrave is basically a shoot 'em up in 3D. Even more so than Vanquish. That said, it's nowhere near as good as Vanquish, and I'd definitely call it an acquired taste (and for the love of god, skip the cutscenes!). Though your mileage may vary, 'cause I'd also call Deus Ex (the first one) and Hitman (entire series, Blood Money and (probably) Absolution less so) acquired tastes.

Deus Ex is definitely an RPG, but it still fits in the stealth and FPS categories. It's a very flexible game.

Wait, Absolution is out?!

[Foggle]

No, that's why I said "probably," as judging from the gameplay video.

Believe me, I'd be jerking off to that game all over this forum if it was already out.

Wait, you like Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 more than 2? I think I might have to beat your ass now.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I actually haven't even played the second game yet. I would've gotten it, but I have nobody to play it with. Admittedly the first game only even made it on my list because of the co-op. Speaking of co-op, I also forgot to put Hunter: The Reckoning on my list (though once again, I'd strictly only include it for it's co-op).

[gunswordfist]

Heh, no one's online on MUA2 either. I played it with my kid brother and cousin.
