Under the radar.

What are games you really enjoy that not many people know about?
My 2 would have to be The darkness and Lost Odyssey.
*EDIT* These are probably the 2 saddest games I've played as well.

 

[Aunel]

Metal Arms, it is just robotic fun

Metal Arms, it is just robotic fun

Yeah, I love that game, and there aren't many arcade games i like (apart from that, braid, dig dug, castle crashers, uno rush and peggle, and the 2 banjo games.) Actually, that is quite a lot.

 

[Xyphon]

Double Dragon 2 for the SNES.

 

[kickin wiing]

Red Dead Revolver for Xbox.

 

[Lekonua]

Two words:

Freespace 2.

 

[xHipaboo420x]

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. A really, really fun game.

 

[GodsOneMistake]

Not sure how under the radar it is, but Tales of Symphonia is one of the best games EVA!!!

 

[Katana314]

Penumbra Overture and Black Plague. Pretty nice puzzle horror game, that can actually manage to scare you when it plays its cards right (unlike FEAR or similar)

Red Orchestra. A super-realistic WW2 game by Tripwire Interactive. The rifles in that game can be pretty rewarding to get kills with. Position your ironsights over a few pixels that look vaguely like a soldier's foot, and you just might get the kill notification.

And Yet it Moves. An independent platformer with a very unique concept; you control gravity.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

Call of Juarez, because great graphics, a good story, and atmosphere.

 

[Kajt]

I love that game, it's so much fun!

 

[TheLastCylon]

This might not qualify, but Banjo Kazooie on the Nintendo 64 was really fun.

 

[Andy_Panthro]

Battle for Wesnoth (turn-based strategy game http://www.wesnoth.org/ ), and loads of old PC games which I might consider to be well known, but I guess most folks around here may not have heard of.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

Beyond Good and Evil.

That was a good game. Shame it got so weird at the end. Ever get to the end boss?
Fucking. Solid.

OT: Alien VS Predator Extinction was a fun game. Hard, but fun.

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

Metal Arms, it is just robotic fun

I never, ever finished that game >.> I had one less washer than needed for the last chip >.> but now to the Live Arcade

 

[Resistance205]

Beyond Good and Evil.

Exactly, one of the best games out for the PS2.

Another Code, and Hotel Dusk get my vote untill I can think of more.

 

[Mezrev]

Battle for Wesnoth (turn-based strategy game http://www.wesnoth.org/ ), and loads of old PC games which I might consider to be well known, but I guess most folks around here may not have heard of.

Ah, another Wesnoth player!

And as to the previous two topics like this, my answer will remain the same: Majesty

See? It's funny because I'm making a post that adds nothing to the discussion but because I made up a witty way to make a point I'm not a complete twat!

But if I had to choose a game, I'd probably go with Abe's Oddysee/Abe's Exodus, not because they're really unknown, but because I've never heard a bad word said about them, yet they aren't lauded as two of the greatest games ever.

Wait, The Darkness and Lost Oddysey are the OP's choice? Then my slection is definitely valid!

I love that game, it's so much fun!

I don't know why, but every time I look at this picture, I think the human just kicked the beast thingy in the groin. It's kind of the way he's almost bent double with his lower jaw jutting out.

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. A really, really fun game.

Agreed.

 

[Slash Dementia]

Enclave; I loved the game despite the flaws. I was hoping for the sequel, but it got canceled.

 

[ShadeOfRed]

Earth Defence Force 2017. Stupid plot, but the weapons are just great.
