1UP's got a neat feature that provides some overlooked games that play like some of today's biggest hits.

Wait, where's the nudity and rampant violence?!

It's tough to recommend a game to a gamer on the pretense of their favorite game. You oftentimes can't just recommend a certain game in the same genre, as the reasons for enjoying a game go far beyond that. 1UP's "If You Like" breaks down many of today's biggest hits into each one's unique essential parts and comes up with some off-the-wall, yet understandable recommendations for fans of Gears of War, Final Fantasy XII, Halo 2, and even Bejeweled! While I can't vouch for every one of them-- most God of War fans would fall into a coma of ennui if they transitioned to Shenmue II--the Dead Rising picks manage to capture the same spirit, despite being vastly different types of games. Give it a look, and see if you agree!
