Deadly Premonition is not my first peculiar, janky or oddball Japanese game, I've loved them for years! Here is a growing list of some of my favorites as I remember them and/or add pages for them!

The best way to play as a gigantic, city crushing robot? By remote control of course!!

Mad Maestro!

FYI, this game can be troublesome to play on a PlayStation 3, through HD hardware, with a wireless controller that doesn't have the same "analog buttons" as the PS2. There's an easily overlooked setting to adjust the button pressure though so I can play once more!

Earth Defense Force 2017

Afrika

The best "My First DSLR Photo Sim" that plays like it's coated in molasses!

Endless Ocean: Blue World

8. Endless Ocean: Blue World

They added so much more but it's still slow and clunky, especially being on the Wii.

Deep Fear

9. Deep Fear

I was sick of Resident Evil by the time Deep Fear came out but I loved it just for its unique underwater setting alone. Ok, well there was also the unbelievably bad voice acting and effeminate genius scientist guy.

BRAHMA Force: The Assault on Beltlogger 9

10. BRAHMA Force: The Assault on Beltlogger 9

A unique mix of FPS and platforming a la Jumping Flash only with a million times more robots. Hard as hell and genuinely creepy as frantic robots fly into your face out of the darkness.
