Lesser Known Games

Dapolish

So I created a reviews site, dedicated to people who have simply gotten bored of their generic games that are so popular that pretty much everyone knows them. I'm trying to make a review collection for those kinds of situations. What I'm really asking for are a few not very well know games that i could write about. It would be fun for not only me but for anybody that finds them. So guys, what lesser known games do YOU know about?

 

P.S. genres are listed at bottom of website here

It looks as if the peasants have risen up, and found swords!


But their sword's look a little short, if you know what I mean!


Good! The squires need training anyway!

If you need a writer, I'd be glad to help. I can write fairly eloquently

The Operative: No One Lives Forever.

It was pretty well known when it was first released, but it seems to have been forgotten, which is a shame.

Empire Earth 1 is one of the best lesser known games out there. I like it because it's not that fast, it has 15 ages and so many different units. Fun for many hours!

Please do consider my offer to help with writing - I have some neat insights into other older and lesser known games as well :)

Thanks for the offer, but it's a weebly. I can't let you into it just to write blogs, even though i wan't to. I would also like some time myself to get into writing them, it will be nice for practice. Maybe after Christmas we could work on some reviews together, i would be happy to. Before i have some of my own personal experience and style? I'd have to say no. But as i said, after Christmas would be fine, it would be a fine experience writing with someone :)

Unfortunately im looking for games you can download online. I don't want to make reviews about games that are not easily accessible. Still, thanks for the suggestion :)

Not sure if you are trying to prove that its not a game, but the world war 1 period is used in like 3 paradox games, darkest hour, victoria and world war one (there are probably some i missed though)

 

"World war one" is a pretty nice game though, its a lot more detailed than victoria 2 in combat ircc

Ah, found the trailer for the game

 

Also, i found the wikipedia page for the game

The wikipedia page says that they didnt publish it, but its on their list of games

Around Mount & Blade Warband old.... but older is fine. I only mentioned old because sometimes people forget about them and THEN they become lesser known.
