"Sell me" your favourite game without telling its name!

[susaku]

These are a couple of others I could think of!

1: You play as a prince, trying to save your kingdom. Though the gameplay of this game is very similar to another Prince of Middle Eastern descent trying to save his kingdom, the one big difference is... You got a frigging shotgun.

2: The baddies of this game are very similar to the one mentioned above(which is interesting, concidering the history behind the company of nr 1 and this franchise), but are about ten times more hilarious and cockney. In this game that's like "Gears of War", but YOU are the cover, the "good" guys make the Zealous Scarlet Crusade look like meak unbelievers. Point goes to franchise, bonus points for the actual game described!

3: One of THE most unique games ever out there, that defies EVERYTHING defining a game. There is quite literally none like it. It is actually free, incredibly easy to play, doesn't even require hardware, paper or anything. Just the basic understanding of the concept itself. The rules are incredibly easy to understand, but also equally easy to break, giving it it's notorious reputation. In fact, by reading this, you just lost it. *Evil Laughter*

But so did you. In fact, we all just lost the game.

Vampire the mascarade?

Nope =D

You've probably never heard of it. Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead.

[Vankrys]

let's go retro

You are a dead roman soldier, Zeus resurrects you so you can rescue his daughter Athena held captive. To do so, you collect special orbs and transform into mythological creature and use their powers.

[TheWorkingTitle]

Double Dragon?

Nope. Look very closely at the sentence to find the hint.

Streets of Rage?

[TheWorkingTitle]

Streets of Rage?

Ding ding ding!

[Auxis]

- - - Updated - - -

Two friends go on a journey to avenge a buddy.
Along the way, they encounter a canary, an envious drunkard, and an imposter posing as an ally - among other things.

Hint: There's a drill sergeant who, despite the circumstances, doesn't seem affected at all.

[RadasNoir]

Can't believe people still didn't guess mine. I'll add more hints. It has lots of endings, is a badly-done dynasty warriors clone, but a good story. Also reposting the old stuff.

"A motely group of heroes led by a man and his racist girlfriend go on a murderous rampage to stop an evil empire.

Hint: One wants to bone her brother, one's a pedophile, one's a cannibal who eats kids, one's a kid and one's bald. "

Since I don't think anyone's guessed this one yet: Drakengard.

As for my own contribution....

"A bee crawls inside your mouth while you are sleeping, granting you magical powers. You're then invited (or abducted) by a secrety society to protect humanity from the various creatures of myth and legend, and even do battle with gods and Lovecraftian abominations. Fortunately, your new powers make you effectively immortal, and you may even need to die sometimes to solve puzzles."

Tip: Dark days are coming.

The Secret World

[RadasNoir]

The Secret World

Yup! I may have been a little too descriptive.

Another that's probably too obvious:

"A bunch of space hicks find themselves caught up in a war between a horde of alien locusts and some scary, dogmatic aliens."

Starcraft

[Jester Joe]

Altered Beast?

That's definitely Altered Beast.

"Rise from your grave!"

[Vankrys]

Altered Beast?

correct. The arcade/genesis version obviously.

"Rise from your grave!"

i'd love to see a remake, like strider, double dragon and flashback had their.

Thank god! Someone guessed it! I felt so lonely.

"Let's attack agressively"

[Vankrys]

"Let's attack agressively"

haha, you got to love the bad english localisation of the 90s

all your base are belong to us!

[RadasNoir]

Starcraft

Yes indeed.

Thank god! Someone guessed it! I felt so lonely.

I'm kind of surprised no one here guessed it sooner. I know it's not exactly a "mainstream" game, but I figured some of the people guessing here would have at least heard of it, given their knowledge of certain other games.

[Danuru]

You spend hundreds of years growing your empire and saving the galaxy from malevolent robots, only to bring about "the end™" by making a deal with an all powerful entity.

[MrPaladinGuy]

The start menu was a benchmark for this bleeding edge tech game.

You start off in prison, then begin an epic adventure that was beyond anything of the time with an amazing soundtrack.

Bumping my own

I'll be impressed if someone gets this without researching and I'm surprised the first sentence hasn't given it away.
