most underated game?

[Hawk of the Plain]

IMO shadowrun, no contest.

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

The Condemned series. Or iNinja. Does anyone even remember that game?

EDIT: Oh, how about Star Wars: the Force Unleashed or Godfather: Blackhand Edition. Loved those games with a passion.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

Bootleg British Wise-assed Master Chiefs kicking goose-stepping alien ass?
cheats on, let's stomp a mudhole so deep in some AI ass we won't stop till we're wearing socks made of dried SHIT!

 

[SturmDolch]

The Hobbit for Gamecube. Even underrated by myself, as it was a good game but I didn't play it much because it was a gift.

Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. By far the best RTS I have ever played, even now after SC2 came out. It's exactly like Age of Empires II except with Star Wars skin on everything.

Europa Universalis III. Another great RTS that's always forgotten by everyone who isn't a hardcore fan.

Mafia. Basically GTA except with a story that you can care about. The second looks like the first one but better. So, amazing.

Perfect Dark. In relation to Goldeneye 007. Perfect Dark improved on everything that was in Goldeneye. I don't understand how anyone can list Goldeneye in their top 10 on N64 when there's Perfect Dark for that list.

For this year? I'd say Metro 2033.
I think everyone knows it but it got really crap reviews by a bunch of sites and I have not a fucking clue why. It's the most convincing post apocalyptic game I've played in ages. Makes Fallout 3's world (which admittedly is way bigger) look like a cheap mockup in contrast. Dunno about you but I've always been one for quality over quantity.

I agree vehemently with this informed poster.

 

[Yossarian1507]

Definitely Alpha Protocol. I had much more fun from it than from Mass Effect 2, so it saddens me even more it was so criticized by media.

 

[Danceofmasks]

Puzzle Pirates

 

[PorkChopXpress]

The Haunting starring Polterguy

 

[themattd1000]

Anyone remember this 1996 awesomesauce?

Spoiler: Awesomesauce

Yeah, discontinued after only selling 46k copies. Truly underrated.

Well it did get a sequel, Skullmonkeys for the ps1.

 

[Iffat Nur]

Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven
Sure, it got rave reviews, but still? How does worser games sell more in less time (im looking straight at you, San Andreas. Oh sure, you got better reviews, but why should I have to mod you JUST TO GET SOME ACTUAL ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!!)

 

[FoolKiller]

Fallout 3..... Oh underrated.

Ah sorry bout that...

Emmmmmmmmmm

Phantom dust for my money.

Such a fantastic story. A fuckin awesome game. And really pretty good graphics for it's time... I bet about 2 people who read this have even heard about it.

Ah yes. The wonderful little game that a hidden Japanese demo made it to the US Xbox magazine only to be released later in North America for the English speaking folk. I may not agree, but I can't think of a better option at the moment.

 

[oktalist]

Culpa Innata
Beyond Good & Evil

 

[ninjajoeman]

I want to say viewtifull Joe but all of you taht read this will say it was awesome... but I've got nothing else.

 

[mrdude2010]

It would have to be Search Bar, I love that game but no-one seems to know about it.

OMGI LOVE THAT GAME! especially the ending... what a surprising twist

OT: the : total war series

 

[Engarde]

I always loved the Trauma Center series for the Wii / DS. Have not found a single person who knows it existed beyond those I told.
If by underated you mean no one ever played.
If by underated you mean that people thought it was horrid when it was good.....
Nothing springs to mind. >.>

 

[daemon37]

Of all time? Hell, I don't know. Maybe Zombies Ate My Neighbors. That was a fun game that doesn't get much recognition.

Of this year, I'd say Nier.

I agree, and I love it when that game gets it's deserved recognition.

Check out the first image, it's awesome. Mine can be found on that page too, but I'm not as good of an artist as that first guy is.

 

[Aisaku]

Second Sight. Surprised me how good it was.

Now that was fucking awesome.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

NecroVision. Bring back old memories of how FPS games used to be. Gameplay is awesome and fun, story... well... who needs one? Now if it also had updated graphics/physics engine, I'd probably say it was the best game ever.

 

[DeimosMasque]

For me it is, and always has been, Star Control 2.
