Of all the great, flagship games to come out in 2008, there was an equal amount, if not more, of lesser-known games that would only attract those that were interested, but were as good as they come. Which of these hidden gems is your top pick?

Mine would have to be Disgaea DS, and Prey the Stars.

Disgaea DS is a rare find, even though it only came out a few months ago. It's as deep and epic as the original, and only people that really know the game would pick it up.

Prey the Stars was a unique and surprising find, as I thought it was a canceled project. It's addicting and one of the DS's most unique experiences.

Hmmm..... I'd say Endless Ocean. Or Prof. Layton, no matter how hard/boring/confusing it was

Not so. I didn't give two shits about Disgaea until you posted the Disgaea DS topic, which convinced me to get it.

The fact that about 95% of those puzzles were easy as crap, (the other 5 percent being the princess in a box puzzles 1, 2, and 3, and a few other things.) and the lack of punctuation....

I'm not going to go farther.


Anyways, I don't play many lesser known games, but if Professor Layton counts, that's exactly what I'm going to say.

I dunno if Professor Layton isn't well known... But it was an amazing game. The story was definitely good enough to keep the puzzles worth doing.
