And others genres;

De Blob
Klonoa

No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle

Horror
Calling

Fighting
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

A lot of these games are very niche. Just recommend the ones that are obvious. Such as anything with Mario, Zelda, or other Nintendo mascots lol.

I read that Calling and Cursed Mountain are both terrible. That's according to the IGN reviews I read on each.

You still use IGN for reviews?

I've only heard good things about Calling from a few other people so I honestly can't comment on that one myself, but at least in the case of CM the majority of the complaints are basically the fact it's an old-school Survival Horror and that it isn't Dead Space/FEAR/Doom 3. The only legitimiate complaints I've read so far out of around 10 reviews are the rather poor story, and the finnicky controls, everything else is basically personal taste or complaints about the genre itself. Besides that using review scores as an argument for or against any sort of arguably niche game is silly since by nature they're pretty love/hate, especially if you only plan to bring up a single review; especially if like in this case the game did recieve mixed reviews.

All that being said it's up to the original poster to do some research on the games people suggest and pick out the ones he thinks he'd like, if he just wanted review scores he could just go to Metacritic.

Which would be pretty pointless since that's basically what every single person here is going to tell him regardless; may as well draw awareness to the niche titles as well if I'm listing games anyway. Besides that they're pretty clearly broken up by genre and if someone decides to look into the game I'd expect they'd be intelligent enough to do some research and see whether or not the game appeals to their tastes; niche or not.

I just use IGN for coverage on upcoming games. I look at the closing comments on their reviews but I generally don't agree with their reviews, they usually overrate hyped up games and underrate many others.

The CoD series is good. Mario Kart is good.

Like ryboh said, it depends on your preferences.

Motion-controlled FPS's are beyond entertaining on this console, so purchasing Red Steel 1 and 2 would be a pretty smart move if you're a fan of this genre.
