Games like Halo, Grand theft Auto, Pokemon, and Gears of War are all well known/ well received games. There are however games out there that are less known... obscure in a way. The ones that are not traditional, break the rules.
Games like Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, maybe even Metal Gear Solid. These games do not play like "normal games", they are sometimes considered odd. Metal Gear Solid; Stealth Introduction to gaming, shattering of the fourth wall, awesomely weird stories. Silent Hill; Psychological Terror, true horror, Frighteningly awesome stories, tank-controls. Fatal Frame; You kill ghosts with a camera (there are so many things wrong with that sentence), terrifying stories. These games were not in everyone's homes, they did not make every magazine cover. They were silent contestants in a crowded room of loud game announcements.
Not everyone adored these games, they did not please the masses, their effects were silent, but violent (^_^). These games (Fatal Frame not included?) Created some of the most rabid, dedicated, intelligent, and just plain awesome fanbases of all time. You want proof? Look up any Halo fan film, then compare it to the masterpiece Silent Hill: No escape, or to the amazing Metal Gear Compilations by Nyxus on gametrailers.com. There are some good Halo fanfilms, I know, but to me these are so much better. Please don't hate.
These games are masterpieces. They are clever, smart, scary, and at times mind-altering. I can proudly shine my badge as a member of the Silent Hill and Metal Gear rabid fans :).
PS. Sorry for the massive lateness
