Really cool game with unique things to offer that sadly didn't get the credit or attention it deserved in 2005. Would be great to see it get a second chance. If you'd like to learn a bit more about it, look up the Youtube video "The WORST* Ninja Game" by KBash. Hint: it's not actually the worst.

A neat but flawed ninja game that was "We have tenchu at home" hard but not for the best of reasons it was a big game from a new company made of small timers Senran Kagura's Kenichiro Takaki got his start on this game as well and I think it plays into what he wanted Senran Kagura to be sexy but dark and sad. A pc port could help in fixing some control issues as well as include the Japanese dub from the rare japan verison of the game.
In a time when stealth action games are a rarity, bringing this game back would be an enormous favor to the people who enjoy them. Red Ninja includes clever level design, a good length and interesting combat mechanics. The use of the wire as a weapon and its variations via equipment, in particular, is something that hasn't been done since. There are other interesting gameplay mechanics as well. Please bring this game back.
I love the main character design here. It's one of the ninja stealth games where you fight with sharp wire weapon and seduce your enemies that makes it unique for me. And this is one of the few games where your only main character is a kunoichi throughout the game. Good stage design and boss battles 👍

I know it's impossible due to ActiBlizz and also, being a console game without port, just want to say, this game deserves a second chance, it had gnarly cool mechanics, and sure, had its hiccups, but it's a great game.

I'd missed this as a kid because one of the publications I'd read said it was a bad game. Years later I play it at a buddy's house and it's pretty great, especially for the time. I'd like to see it come around again and with the JP voices possible. Probably a pipe dream but I'd still like to see it get some love.

I've always wanted to play this game, but never had the opportunity to find it in any retail stores. Giving it a second chance via GOG would be a great opportunity to finally play it and experience the game that's gotten so many great reviews.
Oh man, it so cool game. The design, the art, the character, just one post on the internet and thousands of people remembered how good it was. This needs to be republished so more people can enjoy it.

I bought this game back when I was a wee lad but was unable to play it because my PS2 was PAL and the disc was NTSC. I still think about the game to this day and would like to play it on the PC. I just thought it was one of the games I will never had the pleasure of enjoying until I saw the designer on twitter.
This game was always mysterious to me. it was one of those games that would stare at you on the shelf but you could never get it for one reason or another. I would always try to get a copy but it would either be too expensive or in too poor a condition to play. I want to solve the mystery of this game and GOG might just be the way to do it.
Those games also need your vote!

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
