Seconded. During my first year of college my roommate bought this game, but I promptly stole it, and most of the time it was in my computer rather than his.Abbadiel said:
Jade Empire seems to be Bioware's least appreciated RPG, but I really enjoyed it.
Battlezone was by far the most fun I've ever had in FPS or RTS gaming.
If it got better publicity (like not being called Battlezone [who the hell buys remakes?], for one), and better post-launch support/patching/tweaking, I think people would be running Windows 98 systems explicitly to play that game today.

Marathon, Psychonauts, Battlezone (The PC FPSRTS version, not the Atari one), Indigo Prophecy, and System Shock 2.
Star Control 2 is sheer awesomeness. Especially the Spathi.
Oh hey, another Armored Core player! Gimme your Gamertag (Mine's VT 316), we should set up a match sometime.HSIAMetalKing said:
I love Battlefront too, but RA2 and the simcity games never seemed especially underappreciated.Anarchemitis said:

Three games come to mind....
Myst
A-fricken-mazing. Everyone hates it because if they go without viciously killing something for eight nanoseconds their balls will explode. It's a great game, think of it like you were ACTUALLY there. Then you might want to play.
Supreme Commander
Best RTS EVER! I seem to be alone in that assumption.
Battlefield 2142
great multiplayer, but everyone that plays is either a grizzled Battlefield 2 vet or a total noob. Is there something in between??

Actually, go to source.bungie.org/get/. It's easy sauce to set up, the page it's on has some cool extras, and it only takes a minute to download.greygelgoog said:
Actually, with a few fanmade patches, it's quite easy to run on XP. I highly recommend this game to anyone willing to track down a copy.KurtDunn said:
System Shock - CD-version, haven't played a lot, since I don't get it working. Got great reviews, sold poorly. Overshadowed, in my opinion wrongly, by the sequel.
Eternal Darkness - great at screwing with the players head, assuming you get immersed. Also got great reviews, don't know if this is really underappreciated.
Blood - great, and interesting, use of music from the CD in the game. From what I remember got slag from most people.
Postal 2 - great stress relief. Also first non-stealth FPS I played where: The platformer section didn't piss me off, NPCs from hostile groups didn't instantly recognise you in different clothing, hostile NPCs didn't always know where exactly you were, police didn't magically know when you committed a crime, NPCs stopped to talk nonsensically with each other and fire actually looked good. Got a huge amount of flak from pretty much everyone, about everything. Not completely unjustifiably.

Rune - had some great lan parties around this guy. I mean what other games can you cut off the limb of the opposing player and beat them to death with it?

"Urrr hows it going?" I love the Little Big Adventure series. Don't think i've enjoyed a french game so much as these. No offence to the french, it was just so quirky and fun. I wonder about that grobo who was in the cinema waiting for the new star wars films, what did he think of them after waiting what 5 years in that cinema lol.dylansavage said:
Rogue Trooper (2006). An FPS that was unfairly drowned in a sea of FPSs released at the time. A franchise based on a British comic character from 2000AD.
Operation Flashpoint - Released a whole year before Battlefield 1942, but offered vastly bigger (100's km2) maps, far more vehicles and a fantastic story. Also used by the US army as a simulator to train troops.

really? no, no one, no one mentioned these games?...well...then, too the pain good sirs!

XIII!! I did love that game when it came out, but I have to be frank, I felt it got a bit boring towards the end, as once you stopped noticing the cel-shaded graphics, it was just another PFSthe monopoly guy said:
