    So, after Crackdown 2, my Gamefly list has nothing up until Mafia II, which is until late August, so I've decided to go into the back catalogy of games that I missed. Then, I suddenly drew a blank and can't remember any games that people said to check out, so I would like some ideas on here. I just added Dragon Age: Origins on my list as that's the last thing I could remember missing. 
     
    Don't say really popular things like Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 2, Super Street Fighter IV as I've already played most of those. I'm looking for some hidden gem type stuff. 
     
    Thanks in advance!

    Could you make a list of all the games you own? It will be easier to recomend you games that way.

    If you like the classic style of JRPG that is. (It has 4 discs. FOUR. They had to stick the fourth one in one of those paper wallet things and stick it with the manual!)

    I tried Lost Odyssey, it was okay, but I'm not that into JRPGs. Same thing with Tropico 3, not a fan of that genre.

    Darksiders is a pretty good action-adventure, moderately easy to get 1000/1000; good choice for a GameFly rental.

    Super Street Fighter 4 is really good and so is Red Dead Redemption. I think Mass Effect is great too.

    Silent Hill: Homecoming. I'm assuming you played Dead Space?  
     
    As for flawed but fun games: Too Human, The Wheelman, Strangehold, AC. 
     
    Mirrors Edge also was fricking awesome. Hope they make a sequel. 
     
    Farcry 2 is cool too, if a bit overwhleming.

    I feel like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic was a pretty good game that a lot of people overlooked if you want to try that out.

    Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts is a really fun game. Collecting parts for your vehicles and building them is so damn addictive. 
     
    SSF4 is a really great fighting game, so is Virtua Fighter 5 Online. 
     
    Tales of Vesperia is one of the best JRPGs to come out in a long time, but since you're not into RPGs I'm not sure if you will like it. The battle system is a lot different than other RPGs though, it's more real time like Star Ocean. 
     
    Ninja Blade is a quirky, cheese-filled take on the action genre. It has insanely over the top cinematics, crazy bosses, and a lot of pretty memorable moments simply because it's so out there. 
     
    Bayonetta is a must play, especially on the 360. 
     
    Metro 2033 is an AMAZING FPS, with some of the best graphics on the 360 and probably one of the most immersive FPS's I've ever played.

    What about the Assassin's Creed games. I didn't see those on your list of played games. Also I would second Oblivion except for the fact that the game is massive and can suck hundreds of hours to finish everything so maybe not a good rental. Also Dead Space, the Army of Two games if you have a buddy to play with, the FEAR games, Red Faction, and the Darkness are all games I would recommend.

    Your games list says shooter...so I have to recommend something with guns...Bioshock comes to mind but it's not a "rare gem"...Dead Space is a real tight game....Call of Duty 4 if only for the singleplayer. As for a rare game try Singularity.
