I know everyone of us knows at least one or two non-mainstream games and I wonder what do you guys know and would recommend. So this means nothing relating to Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Mass Effect, Pokemon, Zombie oriented games, CoD, etc. just anything that is overly popular that distracts people from other games that are awesome yet doesn't get the attention they deserve because of them. Non-mainstream games I love are Corpse Party, Parasite Eve, Zero/Fatal Frame/Project Zero, Digimon and I think that's all I can think of. I would recommend Parasite Eve 1 and 2 (PS1) for it's story and soundtrack, Corpse Party (PSP) for it's story, twisted use of 3D sound with headphones, Fatal Frame (all) for it's story, music, scares, characters that you seem to become attached/relate with. If I were to recommend one game from each series I would have to say Parasite Eve 1, Zero: Akai Chou (Fatal Frame/Project Zero II: Crimson Butterfly if they still have a PS2 or XBOX (the XBOX versions are rare to find and are basically the Final Mix versions of 1 and 2) and if they dont have nether I would say Zero: Shinku no Chou (Fatal Frame/Project Zero 2: Wii Edition) for the Wii. I have mixed feelings about the Digimon games but I've always loved Digimon World (PS1) and it's re-imagined version Digimon re: Digitized (PSP). Anyway, there is my list, how about yours?
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron. It's so far off the grid that it's back on the grid. It has some really great combat controls, platforming, music, and it's easily one of the best-looking abstract games in existence. It's for PS3 and the 360. Here's a good RPG, Shadow Madness. It's a PS1 game and it's essentially like...Western Final Fantasty(Western as in it was made outside of Japan, not as in it features the Old West). Though I can guarantee that it's going to be basically impossible to find outside of using something like eBay. It was a terrible flop but it really is a great game. I have just now listed two games which are so far away from being mainstream that the games you listed are relatively mainstream.
