This game manages to capture both the frantic parts and the dull parts of a crappy retail job.
Demontower
Good luck keeping that damn green duck alive.
Rogue Galaxy
This game definitely reminds me of...a lot of things.
Tell Me Why
"Oh, hey, my best friend's brother is back in town after ten years of juvie to help pack up their dead mom's stuff and sell the house they grew up in. Now would be a great time to hit on him!" - Michael Abila
Paradox Lost
"Shooting time travel" was not a consecutive sequence of words I'd ever expected to see in a sentence.
Mega Man: The Power Battle
Ever wonder what classic Mega Man would be like with only bosses? This. It would be like this.
Tales of Legendia
If this game had been released ten years later, the second half probably would have been paid DLC.
The Book of Unwritten Tales
If this isn't on your geeky mom's wishlist, I don't know what is. It's possibly the only title out there that caters to the old nerd demographic in a way that isn't too condescending.
Oxenfree
A pretty good horror walking sim...just make sure to wait for it to go on sale first.
Blazing Dragons
A great comedy for kids, just like Ren & Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, and Animaniacs!
Tomba!
Seriously, who bought the full version of this? Do you exist out there?
Donkey Kong Land 2
Worth barreling through the learning curve, pun intended. Also notably one of Grant Kirkhope's first credits.
