Misunderstood Game Franchises

I have another one.

Bushido Blade
This is one of the few fighters in which the button masher is almost guaranteed to lose every time. It took skill, patience, strategy, and if you had friends into the game as well, serious practice. With one-hit kills being typical and no health bars, it was rewardingly unforgiving. It was a shame when they dumbed it down for the sake of appeal.

 

The Agatha Christie series, it's a pretty solid mystery/adventure series.

 

So I hear. Most graphic-adventure games have pitiful reputations these days. Most people seem to think that they are only for the +40 set, or the children getting their feet wet in games.

 

I've never understood why the Maximo games for the PS2 didn't become a more popular franchise. Great platforming, awesome battles, cool story.
