So many of those sound like must-play titles. And because I'm bored:

Frank Miller's Sim City
The Legend of Kane's Mutiny
A Treatise of the System of the World of Mana
Mr. Ko Ran Ran

Soul Food Reaver

Ratchet & Tank Girl

Wild F-Zero

Descent of a Woman

Godfather of War

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Characters
