I've got I Am Alive, BG&E, From Dust, Rayman 3, and Sleeping Dogs. Any remaining, surprise recommendations from that list?

I mean, is Naughty Bear any good?

Sacred Citadel and Toy Soldiers are tempting.

Hard Corps: Uprising, maybe. It's a sequel to Contra: Hard Corps so should be good but balls hard. Of course, Arc System Works (Blazblue/Guilty Gear/Persona 4 Arena) made it so maybe not your cup of tea with art-style and stuff. Download the demo and try it?

:lol Thanks for the recommendation! Unfortunately, I suck at Contra-style games so badly that someone could base a sitcom from it, and it wouldn't need a laughtrack.

I've always wanted to be good at Metal Slug and Ghosts & Goblins, but no chance!

I'm still pissy about them cancelling 1 vs. 100. What the hell, brosephs?

If you don't have Castlevania SOTN, get it! It's my favourite game ever, no hyperbole

SOTN is god-tier, for sure.

What about Perfect Dark? I haven't played the remake but the N64 one was incredible when it came out. Way ahead of its time FPS with bots in a console game.

It's still OK I think, but I'm pretty sure it's very very dated

I couldn't find the free-on-Gold thread, so I'm putting it here:
