Screamer 2. I'm the only person I know that has this game or any knowledge of its existance.Plus, almost any game made by Looking Glass Studios (ie System Shock 2, Thief series, Flight Unlimited etc).
I might have just missed the hype, but these are the games that just surprised me completely with their awesomeness: Riddick, Nox, Bloodlines, America's Army, Mafia, Dink Smallwood, Death Rally, TM Nations, Stronghold, Lords of the Realm 2, Hitman1, Outlaws, Twisted Metal 2, Interstate '76, Time Commando, Blade Runner.EntwineX
You, sir, get a +1 for mentioning Dink Smallwood. I'd also like to throw in my support for Nox. When it was released, it was passed over by a lot of critics for being a Diablo clone, but it was really much more.
I don't know about "underhyped" since I can't remember when it was first released, but Quest for Glory 4 is one that I used to love and not everyone knows.
Some time ago i got Snowblind, The game was cheap and my expectations was low, but I found it to be a lot of fun to play. It will never be a CLASSIC, but it cheap and a lot of fun to play. It also has a decent storyline.
2142. and now before you say that game is huge how can it be underhyped. well everyone who knew crap about games was like its gonna be crap its just a stupid expansion and yet its one of my favorite games
I know I'm going to get flamed for this but Kill Switch, it was the first game to use the cover mechanic in a game. All of the gears of war GRAW stuff was born from Kill Switch and it gets no respectnebagaman4life
dungeon keeper/2 - perfect blend of base building, creature training, and combat. plus, DK1's graphics were outstanding.
Magic carpet/2 - if you've ever played through the campaign of either game, you know how fun it is and how sweet the spells are - this game NEEDS to be remade, if only by fans. By the by, are there any fan-made updates?
