Shadowman.
Dark, brooding, atmospheric, downright violent, this game offered a brilliant alternative to the likes of Mario and Banjo (which also ruled). A Gamecube version of this game would be brilliant - the N64 version had me hooked for weeks, with a gripping storyline, labyrinithine levels, devilish enemies complete with lashings of blood. Add to that a psychological twist and some of the most inventive bosses and it made for one helluva platformer.
I looked at Shadowman: 2econd Coming (I winced writing '2econd') for Playstation 2, but from the reviews I read, they weren't exactly glowing. I remember reading in N64 (now NGC) that a Shadowman GC game was on the cards, then all talk of it suddenly disappeared. In my view, they should ressurect what was a burgeoning franchise, and add some healthy competition to the likes of Resi and Eternal Darkness.

Body Harvest was great, Shadowman was poor after you got a certain distance in to it.

Heh, yes I did actually.
Also the prison where the one serial killer was ruled as did London and the Jack the Ripper like guy.
Reading those files things about the serial killers was good, in fact the serial killers were the best thing about the game.

Have you tried dying deliberately on the final boss? There's a much cooler, apocalyptic-style ending.
Not that I er...died on the final boss, I just temporarily snoozed.

I had Shadowman 64 when it came out, I thought it rocked! The short ending however was very pants, good game though.
That Irish snake thing at the start of the deadworld (or whatever it was called) ruled in every way, I used to shoot him just so he would say things, heh heh.
