I know some people are funny about Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine and Kirby's Avalanche being altered US versions of Puyo Puyo games. This was one of the first Sonic spin offs that still being played today. It's loosely based on The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon show. All the opponents are pulled from the show. Majority of them only appeared in the first episode. Sure they screwed up coloring Dr. Robotnik to a degree. The limited background of mostly being rocks might turn some people away. But I can promise you everything else this game does truly delivers. The soundtrack with the sound effects absolutely amazing. You get a good amount of modes to play. I always loved the password system that does cover every difficulty. Despite Sonic no where in the actual game. It's a rather addicting licensed puzzle game. You get some rememberable dialogue from your opponents. I felt the game the most fun competing against an friend or family member. There's just something about that always stuck with me. Yes the AI will cheat to a degree. The key is quickly adapt during matches. Especially when they start hitting you with huge combos. Considering it's among the first Sonic spin off games it's a timeless classic that's been in several compilation games.

Stronghold 2Tax, torture or treat your peasants! Rehabilitate criminals or sentence them to death? Decide as you joust over a lavish banquet, all while under siege from the warmongering Lord Barclay.

Stronghold 2 Online extends this gameplay to competitive multiplayer for up to eight players, with offline skirmish mode also available against computer-controller opponents.

Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises.
Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.Action Fantasy Survival
