favorite not so well known video games?

[Jackson]

We all have video games that we love, and those games may not be as well known as call of duty or halo. Yet we still love them. What are some of your favorite unknown games? Mine is Timesplitters 2. It may not be unknown, but not too many people i know have heard of it before i showed them.

- Immersive and thought-provoking story line

"Penumbra is a first person horror adventure focussing on story, immersion and puzzle solving. Violence and combat is hardly an option - the player has to use wits to guide Philip through his final test, and this makes the series unique in offering a truly dangerous and terrifying experience."

Hearts of Iron 2 and Europa Universalis 3, two best grand strategy games ever made.

Best EVER game:
Tile World (originally know as Chip's Challenge)

I had this on my PC like 10 years ago (when I was 6) and played it constantly.
Later, I forgot what game it was, but I rediscovered it about 2 years ago

For anyone wondering:

The premise of the game is that high-school nerd Chip McCallahan has met Melinda The Mental Marvel in the school science laboratory and must navigate through Melinda's "Clubhouse" (a series of increasingly difficult puzzles) in order to prove himself and gain membership to the very exclusive Bit Buster Club.

Most of the video games that I have played are pretty well-known, but one of my favorite lesser-known games is Pokemon Puzzle League for N64. It's a puzzle game (duh) where you switch colored blocks around to make matches and combos while other blocks pop up from the bottom of the screen. If this doesn't sound hard enough, there's a 3-d mode where the playing field is wrapped around a cylinder.

Also Elmo's Number Journey on N64 holds a special place in my heart because it was the first video game I ever played. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone on this forum (I'm sure everyone here is familiar with numbers) but anyone with 5 year old cousins and an old N64 could find this game useful.
