Unique Games
Sometimes you play a game and it feels familiar but you can never find something exactly like it.

Technically a 1v1 fighting game, though not in the traditional sense. The only reason VOOT is here instead of the original is because VOOT is a better representation of the same game.
I've tried to nail down the nuts & bolts of this game, the closest I can come up with is X-COM mixed with Valkyrie Profile 2.
I thought this would be almost the exact same game as the first, but I am surprised at how much this game adds to the original formula.
Still nothing like it (unless someone can point it out to me). It has turn based combo centered combat, all with a time limit constantly lurking over your head. A FAQ is REQUIRED.
As much as I love how this game works in theory, I absolutely hate playing it past the first level (enemy HP doesn't scale in a proper way). Sympathy points because it's experimental and borderline abandoned by the devs.
This is kind of a cop out, it's up here because it ends a series that has gone on since 1987 in such a grand fashion. The only way we're going to see something on the same level is probably when Valve finally decides to end the Half-Life series in 2029.
Hey, something has to represent the light gun category, but as awesome as Time Crisis 2 is, Point Blank 2 is just so crazy in its presentation and a frantic mess to play that you wont see anything like it.
