Spore: A lot of people say that this game is terrible and that it doesn't even deserve an 8. I disagree. Everybody says that they hate it because its simple and because its too easy and repetetive, but that's sort of the point. You can sit down and just play it for 30 minutes without putting a lot of work into it and feel like you've gotten something out of it. You can just play the game for the sake of having fun for a bit, and not feel like its becoming a job. Its simple, short, and fun, and that's why I love it.
Sonic Unleashed: Well, I played the Wii version which is supposed to be the semi-decent version, but I still found this game underrated. The sense of speed is great, but I also like how they keep with the Sonic tradition and add places where you have to slow down and be precise (which it got panned for, for some reason :?), it looks good, the framerate is solid, its great. Well, at least at daytime. The Werehog is just okay...
Too Human: I actually think that this is one of my favourite console games this generation. Sure, the ranged combat was lame, but the weapon combat is good, it looks great, and I really enjoyed its Cyberpunk Norse Mythology Tale.
Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic 2: This game gets criticized a ton for being rushed, and it certainly was. The ending was half-done, there were entire planets left out of the game, and there were just a lot of story knots left tied. However, I actually think it did do a lot of things better than KotOR 1 did. There are more choices within the main storyline, and those choices actually have some changes on the way that you go through the storyline. Your relationship with your crewmates is much more detailed (as in, there are more than two of them who matter), and you can actually learn some pretty interesting stuff about them, and even change their path. I really liked the game, sure it wasn't as great and polished as KotOR, but few games are. Its still pretty damn awesome, and with more dev time, I really think it would've been the greatest game of all time.
