Okage: Shadow King (2001)
Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Adventure
Themes:Action, Comedy, Horror
Game modes:Single player
Story:Conquer your demons and you may conquer the world in this distinctly styled role-playing adventure for the PlayStation 2. Some have compared the look of this game to Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas and the fluid, stop-motion appearance of the three-dimensional characters is not completely unlike that seen in seasonal television specials. OKAGE: Shadow King is not a holiday story, however, but a dark tale of polar opposites that questions basic notions of identity and essence.
Players take the role of Ari, a young man with a remarkable affliction. A powerful demon -- calling himself "Stan" -- has taken refuge in Ari's shadow and is becoming infused in the boy's life. To free both his demon and himself, Ari embarks on a dangerous and involved quest to rid the world of seven other rival demons. Though he suffers under the burden of playing host to Stan, Ari is also aided from time to time by his demon's powers and the two begin to forge a symbiotic relationship.Show more

I absolutely love this game. I played this game a few years ago on my ps2 and had a really fun time with it, the characters are written well and have really cool goofy designs, and I really love the tim burton vibe this game has and I personally think this game should be available to more people to enjoy this masterpiece
This was the first ps2 game I bought with my own money. I hand drew a map for the world library as a kid. Boogie Knight, if you're out there, thanks for all the forum help with OSK in the early 2000s.
This game oddly enough wasnt my first choice of games that came with ps2 demo cd. But its main character’s English name, Ari, was the same as my dad’s nickname, so it caught my attention and we got the game. Now coming up 24 years later, I’m making my own fan sequel as a love letter to this series. Sekimoto’s unique artwork and the love letter style parody to RPGs story line is something I wish people to see more. I do agree the gameplay can be janky, defiantly a product of its time, but the art, characters and story makes up for it.
Child me got this............Honestly, I forgot who got this for me (Or if I got it with Birthday/Christmas money.) 'Shrug'. Anyway, this is a bizarre game where the Evil King who wants to take over the world......possesses you're shadow. Everyone around you just shrugs and goes "Guess you're the Evil King's Minion now.". You don't get to do much about it beyond empty objections. If you haven't figured it out yet this game doesn't take itself too seriously, in fact is actually made me laugh and grin quite often through the years. It is a JRPG with a unique (Mostly, in all honesty it looks Like Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. I think someone on the game's development team might have also been on said Movie's Team.) art style and world, and man the Art Style has aged MARVELOUSLY (Realism never ages well.). So you're goal is to Help the Evil King obtain his lost powers and take over the world. Hilarity ensues and much snarkiness is had. As a JRPG it has Character Elements (Main Character is Neutral, neither weak nor strong against the other 3.) but if he dies it's game over (Which if you're a game dev and reading this DON'T EVER DO THAT.) and you're party members.......well you know the drill, attack enemies til they fall down and use magic to heal or damage. Other than Style, Writing, and Story it doesn't do alot different gameplay wise from most JRPGs, but it's competent enough where it counts. There are few games that have left as big an impact on me as this (Although there ARE some, Such as Star Ocean 2 and Suikoden 2.), and quite frankly if you ever play it it likely will leave an impact on you as well. We need more games like this, bursting with such creativity.
I actually played this game relatively recently about 2 years ago
I love this game with all my heart, the vibe, tone and characters of the world. I hope more people get a chance to discover this
Rayman Raving Rabbids: ReburrowedRayman Raving Rabbids Reburrowed is a fan made project aiming to reimagine the early adventure platformer version and concepts of Rayman Raving Rabbids and make a full experience of the game that could have been, but never was.
It will be an adventure game taking place in around 8 byte-sized open worlds
Each world will have its own challenges centered around platforming, combat, and utilizing each worlds unlockable mount, like a spider that can climb almost anywhere and shoot fire, or an eagle that can fly anywhere and pick up other creatures and mounts, either for a challenge, or just for fun, your choice.
The worlds will be designed so you can freely roam anywhere in the overworld, be it on foot, on a creature mount, or any of the rabbid machinery you may find.
You will fight rabbids, dance with them, and save the creatures of the glade, especially everyone's favorite, teensies, who are trapped in facilities the rabbids have constructed around each world, you must free them and take them with you to be able to summon the creature mount of the world.Open world Action

Pokémon HeartGoldPokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version are paired Generation IV remakes of the Generation II games Pokémon Gold and Silver.
Much like how Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen revisited the Generation I story of Kanto, HeartGold and SoulSilver retell the story of Johto, with the player's starting town being New Bark Town. While the games feature several expansions in key areas, the overall plot follows the same direction as the original Gold and Silver. Some aspects exclusive to Crystal are also included. Like how FireRed and LeafGreen could link up with Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald to complete the Pokédex by trading regionally exclusive Pokémon, HeartGold and SoulSilver can link up with Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum to obtain Pokémon unavailable in Johto and Kanto (such as the Sinnoh starters) and vice versa.
Kris, despite being the female counterpart of Crystal's player character, is not included as the female player character, with a new character instead taking her place. Whether she is chosen to be the player character or not, this new character will still appear in the game. The unselected protagonist will take a pseudo-rival role similar to the unselected characters of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
The games were released on September 12, 2009 in Japan, February 4, 2010 in Korea, March 14, 2010 in North America, March 25, 2010 in Australia and March 26, 2010 in Europe (this excludes the Netherlands, Luxembourg and parts of Belgium due to an in-game save error, with the patched copies later released on April 2, 2010).Action Fantasy
