Hmmm, I dunno if this genre is necessarily underrated, but a lot of people I know did not know about Dynasty warriors/Samurai Warriors.
[/quote]I worship the DW series! You and ishtar are a common yet well-hidden species. The fanfare is just as exuberant as any other, just not as publicly widespread. The general titles had all of Gan Ning's bells and Zhen Ji's whistles regarding gameplay features, and for that reason I favoured those more than the Empire and Xtreme Legends editions - the sixth being an exception, I think the developers were still celebrating five's success with crack. What I can do without is the weapons interchange feature (I value character integrity), multi-faceted musou system and Lu Bu's moulin rouge eye shadow. Orochi Warriors introduced me to the Samurai series; a range I am yet to explore. It is considerably less popular than DW.

The single drop of childhood I've carried over, that I have no one to talk to about, is Perfect Dark on N64. I am aware that if you can't appreciate the 'OOC' type free roam at the menu screen, and awesome (for its time) storyline, it's mostly a carbon copy of 007 Goldeneye. Such is the logic of youth.
