Don't Forget These Cult Classics From Last Generation
Happy Memorial Day weekend from all of us here at Game Informer. Even though you're spending time with family and friends, you might still be able to squeeze a little game time into your day off. Consider diving back into a few classics from last generation.
A few years ago we put together a list of some of the best cult classics from the last generation of consoles. Sure, some of these only tiptoe into the realm of "cult classic," but none of them reached the level of popularity (or sales success) that we think they should have. Today would be the perfect time to dive back into these old favorites. How many of these have you played?
- The Club (Jeff Cork)
- El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron (Kim Wallace)
- Warhawk (Dan Ryckert)
- Alan Wake (Tim Turi)
- Driver: San Francisco (Ben Hanson)
- The Saboteur (Matt Bertz)
- Nier (Andrew Reiner)
- Lair (Matt Miller)
- Wheelman (Bryan Vore)
- Mirror's Edge (Ben Reeves)
- Shadows Of The Damned (Mike Futter)
- Test Drive Unlimited 2 (Matt Kato)
- Earth Defense Force 2017 (Joe Juba)
- Splatterhouse (Jason Oestreicher)

- Reader Discussion: What's Your Favorite Cult Classic Of This Generation?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
