Time to find out if this is obscure enough to last a day:
Comment has been collapsed.
Correct.
Guess being a Japanese-only 1st-gen Xbox exclusive isn't enough of a guarantee to remain obscure :(
(This game really should get ported/remastered/remade for current systems, and localized for worldwide release.More people should be allowed to enjoy this amazing piece of insanity.)
And here I had a nice image of the Presidential Mecha lined up as a second image/major hint too. Won't need it now, but I'll post it anyway. Because reasons.

Oh, it's obscure alright. But the first screenshot has an identifiable landmark in it, and that's enough for "detective work".

Hint 1: It's a bit like X-COM if invading army was fantasy creatures instead of aliens.

Damn, I have played this. Lords of Magic? Something with Kohan in the title?
Comment has been collapsed.
Guessing game?
Hint, it was pretty bloody

Ultima Online?
Scratch that. Googling for "summon unicorns" revealed this to be Magic & Mayhem (a.k.a. Duel: The Mage Wars).
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep! A rather interesting and difficult strategy/RPG, which I never got to finish, because my version had a game-breaking bug.
Comment has been collapsed.
hint: it's strategy
hint 2 : it's historycal
Comment has been collapsed.
One of the early TW games, perchance? Shogun Total War or Medieval Total War (for some reason I lean towards the former)?
Comment has been collapsed.
I think it's called Excessive Speed.
I played the demo back in the day, and completely forgot about it until I saw this gif.
Comment has been collapsed.
That is entirely correct. I was lured into buying a CD of the thing by the flashy screenies on the back, but ultimately the game is quite pish. ;(
Comment has been collapsed.
Aw that's too bad, when I first saw the screen I thought RC Pro-Am had gotten a remake that I was unaware of. I loved those games on the N.E.S.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah. Me, I even had fun with IronMan Super Offroad on ZX Spectrum (so... much... yellow), so I'm not exactly picky when it comes to isometric racing; but this thing is completely ruined by the laggy and imprecise controls. You can even see it in the GIF (I took it from a YT video): the guy doesn't even bother trying to turn his car in and rides the roadside bumpers all the way - all because he knows he'll oversteer sooner or later. GeneRally it is not. ;(

Someday I'm going to buy myself an Ironman Stewart Super Off Road arcade cab. So many fun memories with that game.
And thanks for turning me on to GeneRally, I hadn't known of it before and it looks really neat :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I think I still hold a grudge against my old laptop for being so damn good at GeneRally. It may be in its laptop heaven now, but its highscores live on!

Heavy Metal F.A.K.K. 2?
With a mod? Or possibly without, I didn't get far in that game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, your guess is quite correct.
EDIT: frankly, no idea about whether this one's modded. I do remember her clothes changing from level to level, sometimes getting increasingly lewdy, but I'm not sure if it ever went that far. But it's been, what, 15 years or so since I last played it. ;(
EDIT 2: yeah, seems like it: https://youtu.be/wwyBi6PWXzM?t=12m41s

Something from this decade.

Oh my, that's unexpected. I couldn't even find the corresponding screenies/scenes, and sort of just went with the closest visual style.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I took those myself and kept them private so it would be surprising if they showed up anywhere.
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't tell TheSadisticChicken.

That's The Cat Lady, and it's still the best damn adventure game I've played in years.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup. Tried the 'reaching for the switch' scene first, but Google knows that one too well.
Comment has been collapsed.
That scene was set up so well, the music selection and shock of it all juxtaposed with the uneasy calm preceding it fit perfectly and really wakes the player up to realizing just what kind of experience they are in for.
Comment has been collapsed.
True. Although I found the inclusion of blood around the obviously evil hole to be overdoing it a little bit. It makes sense that the player would at least expect something like that to happen to their arm, so the fact that the hole is bloodied doesn't 'spoil' any surprises or anything; but maybe the scene would have been even more powerful if the devs had left at least some room for doubt in the mind of the player. As it stands, with all that blood around the hole and all, if the player's arm hadn't been cut off and the woman simply flipped the switch and gone on her 'merry' way, we'd call it a subversion of a trope that we'd been lead into expecting, and not an unexpected resolution of an ominous scene.

Let's do a quick and easy one.

I'm temped to go "please be more specific", but yeah we all know which one you meant.
Comment has been collapsed.
For all the hype The Line got, this is actually the first time I'm hearing it's part of a series. Good job, journos.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, guess it's gonna be me again. War Wind 2: Human Onslaught.
I'll skip.
Comment has been collapsed.
If Fet's skipping, I'll offer this. Probably too easy tho.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe a little... but it was a pleasant turnaround to see something familiar after all those obscure screenshots.
Comment has been collapsed.
maybe.. but I'm still trying to find something that takes longer to guess than Crimzon Clover or Zombie Army Trilogy did.

This screenshot is from one of my top 5 favourite video games of all time.

It seems to be Luigi's Mansion
In case it is I'll skip

The following image has been subtly altered.

Nice..
So this kind of 'web game' counts as well, good to know :)

Hint 1: It's not a submarine but a german game
Hint 2: Second screenshot added, this time ingame xP
Hint 3: Science Fiction, longtime novel series
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope, no Nazis invading here only "blue frenchmen" xP
Comment has been collapsed.
Nah, it's not the HMS Barracuda, and actually not even a submarine. Only the Image reminds me of one ^^"
Comment has been collapsed.
The terrain looks like Transport Tycoon...
But you said it's a German game? Hm, probably not it..
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh come on, stop skipping xP
Btw: If anyone sees a scan of the manual holler please. Mine got lost a long time ago with the box.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm new here, if Fet skip, let me take a try. Maybe an easy one.

Why hello there Gene!
It's God Hand.
Edit: I'm typing too slow today :(
Still, for proof, see the same character repeatedly in this video

Since Nanabanana was kind enough to provide proof, I'll go ahead and keep the game going.

Something like mathematical modeling...

All right, boys. You take the right one, you take the left one, and you... just stand around looking cool, okay?
