Story:Rogue Galaxy is an action role playing game set in a futuristic fantasy universe, in which the player moves through a continuous environment with no load time between overworld exploration and battles. Battles occur as random encounters, Rogue Galaxy uses a real-time hack and slash combat system in which the player fights with a party of three characters. The player has direct control over only one character, although they can change which character that is at any time. The two NPCs fight independently of the player character, based on a strategy selected prior to the battle. Available strategies include fighting especially aggressively, targeting a specific enemy or not fighting at all. The strategy can also be changed at any time during the battle. Additionally, the player can issue specific orders to the NPCs during combat, such as having them use an item or activate one of their special abilities.Show more

All i want in life is the have this GEM in PC.
This game has so much to do... So much to see. Great music, great gameplay.
It's so much fun to 100% (besides the Frog Log thing...), it would take like 200 hours. But it's so worth it. The Insectron ''mini game'' itself is beyond fun.
This game is just perfect. It was my first experience with RPG gameplay in my early 10s and I was obssessed with it for years. I would play that with my sibling in our PS2 for hours and days in a row. The characters are amazing, so as their backstory, there are a lot of different things to do, there are mini games and the quarries are so much fun to complete. The planets are beautiful, each one with their own story and particularities and items and insects (there is a side quest that it's also a minigame which you can battle insects, The Insectron) to find. It's a dream coming true to have it in PC. I really love this game.
This is such a hidden gem, its bad that no much people know about this rpg, its totally worth to bring it to this era and maybe in the future get a sequel or remaster/remake 10/10.
This was one of the best games to have been released on the PS2. A hidden gem that flew under the radar for many people because it was one of the last games to be released on the platform and was overshadowed by the hype of the PS3.
This game is a cult classic and for good reason.
It is a travesty that the only way to play this game is to own a PS2, unlike many other classics to have been originally released on the platform, this never got a re-release or remake.
Make this game one of the ones you slightly update, because if you could figure out a way to set up a online mode which is only for people to battle their bug collections against each other you would add the bit of polish to this gem that I think it would need to stand out all over again. Great game and I need a reason to break my strategy guide out of the bookshelf again, please!
I love this game so much! The characters, planets, even the items you can obtain, have so much history put into them. I adore the music, and keep a playlist of the soundtrack to listen to in my car driving.
After discovering this game from a friend at school long ago, it has been a treasured story and pulls on every emotion throughout its extensive narrative.
And after showing my wife all of the cutscenes, so she could understand what it meant to me, when we had our first child, we named him Jaster, because the main character is heroic and had values we also want to instill in him.
This game was, and is, HIGHLY slept on. Im SO glad to see its on the list already. PS2 had some of the best JRPGs ever made. This game is no exception. We absolutely need these classics to be on GOG

Once again, Sonic is called upon to save the world from the evil Dr. Eggman. On this occasion, Sonic is joined by friends Tails, Knuckles and Cream the Rabbit, the latest addition to the Sonic team. Each comes with a set of unique moves, allowing you to reach certain areas through-out the levels. However, unlike Sonic Advance, you must complete the game as Sonic to unlock the other characters.
Chaos Emeralds and Special Rings litter the stages. To collect the emeralds (transforming Sonic into Super Sonic for the final battle with Dr. Eggman), you must find the special rings hidden in each stage to unlock the bonus stage. Complete the bonus stage and the emerald is yours.
You'll also get the chance to collect and raise chaos, and trade them over to Sonic Adventure 2: Battle on GameCube, through the use of the GBA/GC link cable.Action Kids
Sonic the HedgehogThe game shares its name with two earlier Sonic games, a manga, a television series, a comic book series, and their eponymous main character. To disambiguate, the game has been referred to as Sonic 2006. It was produced in commemoration of the 15th anniversary of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. The game faced multiple issues during development, which resulted in rushing the product despite existing bugs. Both versions were heavily criticized for long loading times, poor camera system, gameplay glitches, complicated plot and sloppy character control.

Fatal FrameFatal Frame is the first game of the Fatal Frame series, introducing the franchise's unique premise of fighting ghosts with a special camera.
Fatal Frame was the first to introduce the innovative use of an old-style camera as the primary weapon. In addition to navigating the main characters around the mansion grounds, players are able to enter Viewfinder Mode, where the camera is raised and the view changes to that of the camera's frame. In viewfinder mode the player is able to snap photographs of ghosts, both violent and benign, which is the main method of progressing through the game. Items are also available, some being consumable and most being key items needed to unlock doors, complete tasks or solve puzzles. Puzzles are encountered frequently in the game, some being based on the same concept but becoming progressively more difficult. The varying difficulty settings of the game (Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, or Fatal (Xbox only)) determine the amount of consumable items scattered throughout the mansion and how formidable the enemies are.
The main horror aspect of the game is, undoubtedly, the ghosts. The mechanics programmed for the ghosts allow them to float ethereally through the air, walls and floors, and even teleport, allowing them many ways to attack the player. The ghosts' appearances are usually inspired by their deaths or by Japanese stigmas of horror, which, some argue, are particularily chilling.
The game, depending on which console it is played on, offers two endings. Upon completion of the game, a ranking is given based on total time taken, points accumulated and other categories. The player is also given rewards and unlockables, such as alternate costumes and camera functions, depending on what difficulty was beaten, how much of the Ghost List was completed and other criteria. Beating the game also unlocks Battle Mode, where the player is faced with fighting specific ghosts, and is rewarded with points towards purchasing unlockables. An option is also given where the game can be replayed with all equipment, upgrades and unlockables carried over.Horror Survival
