n-Space was a company that was responsible for working some incredible magic on the Nintendo DS, and porting games to the handheld that, by all rights, shouldn't have been there. Star Wars: Battlefront, The Force Unleashed, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, World at War, The Goldeneye Remake. Somewhere in there, they partnered with Nintendo - of all companies - to make Geist - of all games. Additionally, it's notable for having creative input from Shigeru Miyamoto - of all people! The result was a really interesting game, where you played the disembodied spirit of a man who ends up on the wrong side of a mad scientist's experiment to make an army of ghost soldiers who can possess anyone, or anything. Not exactly your typical Ninendo plot. What that means, however, is that you move through the world, trying to stop the mad scientist's plan, all the while possessing everything from people to coffee cups to throw this laboratory into disarray and accomplish your goal. For example, encountering a locked door could mean you needed to possess a particular person with clearance, or possess the keypad to get the code. Possessing people sometimes meant figuring out their fears, and using the environment against them until they became open to possession. It's good stuff, intentionally pulpy (the main character's name is Raimi, after all), and really creative. And, unfortunately, Geist never made the jump beyond the Nintendo Gamecube. Here's hoping GOG can find a way to rescue it, among other titles, from Nintendo Purgatory.

Prince of Persia
Prince of PersiaThe game is set in ancient Persia. While the sultan is fighting a war in a foreign land, his vizier Jaffar, a wizard, seizes power. Jaffar's only obstacle to the throne is the Sultan's daughter (although the game never specifically mentions how). Jaffar locks her in a tower and orders her, under threat of execution, to become his wife. The game's nameless protagonist, whom the Princess loves, is thrown into the palace dungeons. The player must lead the protagonist out of the dungeons and to the palace tower, defeating Jaffar and freeing the Princess in under 60 minutes. In addition to guards, various traps and dungeons, the protagonist is further hindered by his own doppelgänger, an apparition of his own self that is conjured out of a magic mirror.

Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII
Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VIIDirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII is an action role-playing third-person shooter. As the first shooter game in the Final Fantasy series, the action is viewed from an over-the-shoulder perspective similar to Resident Evil 4, although players can switch to a first-person perspective if they wish. Defeating enemies yields EXP, and at the end of each stage, the player can either use that EXP to level up, increasing Vincent's stats, or convert it to Gil (the in-game currency), which can then be used to purchase items and equipment upgrades.
