IMO some of the greatest injustices in gaming are that these games sold so poorly:

Ico
Psychonauts
Metroid Prime 2 (not poorly, but less than it deserved)
Okami

I have never even heard of these. Thread title should be called - "Games I think are cool and no-one has never heard of them before".

I know of Metroid, that's it.

which emphasises the point. Such critically acclaimed games have such poor sales.

I've never heard of 80% of these games. Poorly advertised OR maybe they just suck.

ICO!!! amazing game. Pity it never got the praise it deserved. Pick it up if you see it in a PS2 bargain bin!

No such thing as a 'sucky game' imo, everyone has different tastes, different games appeal to different people and what not.
As long as you find it enjoyable then it's a good game.

Ico and Okami are amazing, probably some of the best ps2 games. Along with Shin Megami Tensei (3 or 4) and Shadow Of The Colossus which should also be added to the list.

god of war 1 and 2 were pretty amazing too, but almost no one i knew who had a ps2 had or had heard of that game :(

it got awesome reviews everywhere, probably had better reception in america than it did here.

From recent memory God of War sold quite a bit actually. Just not in Australia I think, but internationally it was reasonably successful.

To all those who are all like "yer i neva herd dese games dey must be fkn shit cunt aye fkn" - I suggest you look up the game's name and have a look at a bunch of reviews. Most games mentioned will have, on average, a decent score (i.e. 75+ out of 100).

Anything made by Clover (Viewtiful Joe, God Hand, Okami)

Can't think of anything else lol

I saw God Hand being sold at Crazy Clarks/Sam's Warehouse for $12 a while back. Fucking disgraceful.

The Sly series for PS2 never recieved the recognition it deserved.
