The Total War series seems like a good fit; it's considerably well-known, but only appeals greatly to a condensed number of people.
I think i need to refine what "cult classic" meansAngus Young said:
cult classic is the status given to movies that are not mainstream (like, a B movie almost.) when they build up a sort of following that last well into today (with the movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show still making midnite rounds in certain theaters to this day, or like the parody of the movie Heavy Metal in the episode Major Boobage of south park.)
Fallout 3 is a recent game with mainstream success, i would however deem the first 2 as cult classics
Day of Defeat/Source
It's the Valve shooter no-one tends to remember, as such it has a much smaller but altogether more dedicated fanbase than TF2 and the online gaming behemoth that is Counter Strike: Source.
It's also AWESOME!
The first 3 Mechwarrior games are pretty much cult classics too, people are still churning out new mech load outs for 2 and 3, 3 even has a fair number of servers running for it.

Bioshock sold an arse load last I checked, and everyone loved it, so that's not even close to being a cult classic.BudZer said:
Chaos Legion was awesome, I loved he idea of it, and it's a shame we probably would never see a sequel.sonicmaster1989 said:

Any Introversion Game (Uplink, Defcon, Darwinia)
The Freedom Force games
Titan Quest
Damn, now I feel like playing these again

Portal 2 isn't out yet, so we can't call it a cult classic, it has a cult following but since its not out its not a cult classic.sturryz said:
With regards to cult classics, I guess Deus Ex is one, its the one game that isn't flamed by /v/irgins or /b/tards.
Killer7 and Shadow of Collosus must be cult classics, when I bought them I was commended by randoms in the shop and the shop staff regarding my purchase, and no one tried to spoil the plot for me.
I heard its a superb game, but I hate Marc Ecko with a passion, so I will never buy into anything he is associated with, I will read about what he does though.Vlane said:
I wouldn't be a good anti fanboy if I didn't know more about him than his average fan.
In fact i've not read shit about him recently because of his debts, which is fucking good.
