      Downhill domination and rumble racing are two I often go back and play. Shox is another fun racing game made by ea big that doesn't get much love.

    Couldn't agree more with RAD and Chaos Legion. Love both those games. If I had to recommend another it would have to be Shadow of Destiny/Memories (Just realizing how many games love to use "Shadow of" in their titles lol).
    I'm a sucker for time travel stories and this one does not disappoint with tons of time travel shenanigans with you trying to solve your own murder and I think the game has something like 7 endings so plenty of replay action

    Chaos Legion is peak 2000s edgy goth aesthetic, we need more games like those in this day and age
    So many action games that use summons for its combat would not get made if it wasnt for this
    We wouldnt have gotten Astral Chain without Chaos Legion

    man I loved enter the matrix. played that game until the disc wouldn't read. I do remember some bugginess but it didn't detract from my experience much. I just loved the cinematic feeling to the game, it felt so expensive. plus with the live action scenes shot specifically for the game. I remember back then thinking those graphics were hyper-realistic, ah good times.
