This one is interesting because Cyberconnect created this, but the DLC is needed to get the full context and the PSN store might close at any second.
I've recently played through the series, and Onimusha is still one I would go back and play again to talk about for the podcast. It's got a lot going on for it.
This is almost locked in at this point its just deciding when its good to do another Musou.
We already played it and we're about to record this for Season 3 but due to hiatus pushed it back into the list to replay.

Do you not see this cool ass Cel-shaded racing game by Capcom of all developers?
Unrated
At this rate....It will be BOTR.

Binary Domain is a middle of the road shooter with some interesting design choices. Originally slated for S3, still possible to do.

The awkward middle child between Killer 7 and No More Heroes. This, Samurai Champloo, and No More Heroes is a Trilogy in Suda51's eyes.

Make sure the wifey ain't around for this one...
Unrated
You see this cover and think of Condemmed or some shit, but this is a sci fi shooter .
Unrated
I think the background is more interesting than the game, and that's a red flag for me.
Unrated
Fuck Dark Cloud 1. We going straight to 2
Unrated
you play as a spider..like...come on.

This game makes it off a technicality. TECHNICALLY, it's a 7th Generation game. TECHNICALLY, this would be a bitch to get a physical version of.
Unrated
A lot of people call this a Max Payne clone...
Unrated
What if they made a digimon diablo clone? wait they did?
Unrated
A later addition to the list. With every coming year Dino Crisis gets more and more justified for being on this list until the announcement of a remake or something new.
Unrated
A quirky adventure game that inspired 4 sequels. theres like a subset of people just like musou or harvest moon games that die by these games.
Unrated
If you're adding Dynasty Warriors 6, you gotta add Strikeforce. I thought of the idea of doing both in one episode. This was always an interesting title. The fact that they really went all the way anime that the openings allude to was always a cool concept that I never got to play other than the demo on PSP.
Unrated
One of those games based on the bible. Its a weird looking Action game that got a old school rpg style sequel on the Vita.
Unrated
Ben did not know this game existed until we did the E3 Videos so with that we gotta play it. Warren Spector got Disney to make this horror filled Disney game.
Unrated
Was featured in the S3 intro. So its on the list for that. I've watched this game go up in price every single year and I don't even think there's anything super noteworthy about it other than FROM SOFT.
Unrated
WE WILL PLAY THIS.
Unrated
The psychic fixed camera survival horror game that nobody ever mentions.
Unrated
She was featured in PS All Stars Battle Royale, and she had one game... and never another one.
Unrated
We don't really try to get into handheld games because that's another huge can of worms. We both have fond memories of this game and wanted to replay it.
Unrated
When we started ORC Co-Op, it opened the doors for other Co-Op games from this era just like Army of Two. Yet this one stood out the most for its really weird premise.
Unrated
There is so much background to this game that would be interesting to talk about, but first I need to convince Ben to keep playing Final Fantasy 14 with me.
Unrated
I feel like we could put every Suda51 game on here before we gotta stop and set a limit. They all are really the same backstory aren't they? It's really just the break glass if in danger button.
Unrated
The reason we would buy an Xbox
Unrated
One of those hidden gem franchises from Capcom that started in the 7th Generation that was mismanaged to death. Unfortunate because it could've been another Pillar franchise, but that's a story for if it gets chosen.
Unrated
Mark Ecko, the fashion guy, makes a video game starring a fuck ton of celebrities as voice actors. In such game where you beat the fuck outta people and do graffiti to fight the dystopian government.
I'm not saying anymore. You know why it's here.

kinda breaking the no handheld rule, but this was my first introduction into mega man, it was my generation's mega man. And turning it into a card battling jrpg is weird as fuck.
Unrated
a Mega Man JRPG, do I need to say more.
Unrated
Dude the fact this game works is insane.
Unrated
Muramasa is a beautiful ass games. I had it in my Top 10 just from the nostalgia for it. wanted to experience the game fully, because I don't think I beat it all the way, as well as dive into Vanillaware lore and development team.

I remember seeing so much covereage about this game when it came out but couldn't play it because it was stuck on the OG Xbox.
Unrated
Bungie developed anime game. We joked that this was Ghost in the Shell one time, so I felt obligated to add it to the list.
Unrated
dude this is one of them ones you ALWAYS saw but never touched. We gotta play it.
Based on a light novel and recently got an anime remake.

let it cook okay.

I know little to nothing about this game but for some reason, it's a GameCube exclusive.
Unrated
"Action Adventure" games are a dime a dozen. This one just fell into the sea of PS2 games to never be found.
Unrated
ID Software's weird shooter. I remember playing it and thinking it was only a little bit of shooting and a lot of racing.
Unrated
I gotta remember Ben don't like motion controls. The second game would probably be a better choice than this.
Unrated
No you don't remember it.
Unrated
It got 3 sequels but Sony just forgot about it. Even Killzone and Infamous got PS4 games but they just dropped this one.
Unrated
Nigga do you see this!? Gun-Fu JRPG. I ain't saying no more.
Unrated
If we are going to use the OST we gotta play it.
Unrated
This is locked in. Everytime we look at the list we always go "Oooh thats a good one right there". I don't even know what this game looks like.
Unrated
Truthfully, True Crimes Streets of New York is the BOTR title from this series, but I like my sanity in check.
Unrated
MY Spider-Man is in this game. Into The Spiderverse before ITSV.
Unrated
Surprisingly expensive in the collector's scene. An open-world Spider-Man game with a Morality system.
Unrated
We don't usually cover a lot of Nintendo games. This is one of those you just gotta talk about.
Unrated
There are a couple other choices that we could do for a Star Wars game, but I feel this one is the one to play.
Unrated
John Woo directed game that came out EARLY in the 7th generation. Surprisingly doesn't get that much love.
Unrated
Unrated
the POOPOONUNU people!
Unrated
GTA but in London from what everyone says, but I know there's gotta be more to this that just that.
Unrated
Probably the most Modern game we would ever cover for BOTR. I think ICO would honestly be a more fun game to tackle then the Last Guardian.
Unrated
project drip drop ass jrpg that everyone forgot about anyway after begging for it to be ported over.
Unrated
This is a weird ass game, once again one of those ones we always saw as kids but never played.
Unrated
Unrated
I remember seeing my uncle play this game more than I remember anything about this game. It's a really cool looking game.
Unrated
Midway's horror series about a prisoner with some weird monsters running around. It uses the same engine as Psi-Ops, which we are obligated not to talk about because we covered Second Sight.
Unrated
When you look up best movie tie in games this is always up there in the list, so we gonna see if it holds up to that, cause the Thing is a good ass movie.
Unrated
When BOTR was conceptualized, this was one of 3 games that was immediately agreed upon. The other two being, ChoroQ and Mystic Heroes.
Unrated
This is one of those rules of If I used it in a video to explain the podcast premise, we gotta add it to the list.
Unrated
Is this even playable without streaming it cause that streaming shit is dead.
Unrated
My one and only Spider-Man.
Unrated
A JRPG about WW2 that plays with this weird tactical style. We both think its cool. Its cool its worth a shot.
Unrated
Long as I can curve the bullet Imma play it for BOTR idc.
Unrated
Be honest how many times you skipped over this on the store shelf?
Unrated
"That's a BOTR title". It really is, a diablo clone starring the X-Men. Apparently at the time there was licensing done by genre for Marvel games, so activision had the rights to making a Marvel RPG. Also one of those games I feel you play as a kid but never beat as a kid which would be fun to go back to.
Unrated
AFRO!!
Unrated
They took off American Mcgee's name, but he's such a character and this warped version of Alice in Wonderland.
Unrated
One of those titles we both were looking to play because we always saw it as kids but never played.
Unrated
Before SSX, there was Coolboarders..
Unrated
wanna play an aRPG from the PS1???
Unrated
This one I'm still iffy about. For two music niggas to talk about the last Def Jam game ever made. It's only right. Me personally I would go for Def Jam Vendetta over Icon.
Unrated
one of them ones. We gotta cover it.
Unrated
I originally had the third one, but i figured the 2nd game would be a more fun (and technically complete) game to play.
Unrated
The black sheep of the Musou series. Interesting to speak about with the changes that happened with 9 at the time thinking adding this to the lsit.

One of the rarer PS3 ganes. An interesting monster based jRPG that would be fun to dive into.
Unrated
A M Rated Nintendo game. Miyamoto specifically called out making the player the actual ghost to possesing items, before it was just a generic shooter.
Unrated
Red Dawn is a really fun movie starring Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen from the 80s. The remake wasn't all that good with the Hemisworth and I think Josh Peck was in it too? Idk...anyway Homefront is the same plot, so that's kinda cool. I think Turning Point is the only other game I can remember about a real country invading america.
Unrated
We almost played this instead of Lord of the Rings: The Third Age back during Season 2. Another strong locked in "When" instead of "If".
Unrated
Unrated
a third person bond game not based on a game but starring the cast of the movies at the time. I remember never being able to beat the first level on coop with friends, I never actually played the single player for this game.
Unrated
Metroid game created by Team Ninja. Everyone hates this one, so its prime BOTR.
