Recently, I haven't had much time to play games. However, I couldn't say no when Good Old Games (http://www.gog.com) had a sale last weekend that bundled Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time together with the game I've heard many people rave about, Beyond Good And Evil. At first, BG&E was odd, because it had a lot of glitches - searching the web, I found the compatibility settings I needed, and it worked fine ever since on my computer. I highly recommend this title - now I need to actually play the Sands of Time, which I wanted to play because I beat the third game in the trilogy (The Two Thrones), but heard the second game (The Warrior Within) sucked horribly - so may as well only play the first one (maybe later I'll get the second - but I kinda doubt it.
Anyways, I guess the purpose of that rant is to describe a game that many people haven't heard of that's really good. Another game, which Zach and I have played, is Lords of the Realm 2. What are your favorite games that don't seem to be well-known by the general populace?

Tales of Vesparia.
Fuckin awesome game. Its the only RPG that i want to play again. Great story, fuckin awesome voice work. Something you dont see very much in alot of JRPGs. I just started playing Star Ocean The Last Hope, and am almost sickened by the horrible voice acting. It seriously takes away from the game... especially one of the main characters saying... "Well maybe now I can actually help everyone out" at every level up. Fucking annoying.
With Tales of Vesparia, there are hundreds of things they can say, all depending on which character fought the hardest, what combo of characters fought, and where in the story line you are. When you are navigating around the world map, there are also little conversations that pop up, to either further the story or just to kill the boredom. Either way, they are usually hilarious.
Great Great game, best 50 hours I've spent in a long time.

Lougan, the Tales series are fantastic games. Pick up Tales of Symphonia for the GC for use with your Wii console. It's fantastic (it's also available on the PS2 I believe, but I think the GC one was rated higher). Best $17 I've ever spent. I did not like its sequel, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, as much, because to me the fighting system isn't as easy to use. I've yet to beat ToS: DotNW - I need to grind to beat one of the last bosses (I've always felt under-leveled throughout the whole game anyways, so this isn't that much of a surprise - if the boss wasn't such a cheapass, though, I may have had a chance - but he has an attack that can almost KO your entire party (down to 1 HP) when its close to the end).
I also need to pick up the Tales of Vesparia, and the remake of Tales of Phantasia (sp?) for the GBA.
EDIT: As for replayability, I must have replayed ToS about 4 times - and the thing's a 50 hour game as well lol! It's that good!
The boss I cannot currently beat is below (spoilers):
