Games I Like That Everybody Else Dislikes

Unpopular but I prefer this to Point Lookout. Just good-ole-fashioned, unpretentious alien-blasting fun. Yes it's low-framey, yes there isn't a single theme to be found in it, yes it's still only like two dull colors, and yes that spaceship 'battle' at the end is pretty shit. But these big-headed, green Propaganda-era-B-movie aliens are a perfect fit for the retrofuturist Fallout universe - not sure why the series purists have gotten in such a tizzy over this, extraterrestrials really aren't such a far fetch considering all the other preposterous leaps taken in this franchise. So satisfying nailing crits with the sci-fi weaponry and watching these things crackle into a pile of ash. Sally is better than most of the characters in the base game. Kind of awesome.
