I heard about Valkyria Chronicles on this board and it stands firmly in my top 10 PS3 games.

List a few of your most underrated games; genre doesn't matter. Just note I've played Heavenly Sword as well, which most consider underrated.

Artof_War

1.Enslaved-Story and character focused, uses great motion capture and facial animations, great actors, great graphics, platforming and fighting are simple but fun, good 8-10 hours and cheap now.

2.Nier-Open world JRPG (Doesnt have the animish artstyle) very good story and characters, best music this gen, graphics arent very good and fighting is ok, its also cheap now.

3.Shadows of the Damned- Fun third person shooter with lots of good comedy relief, lots of immature jokes, also cheap now.

4.El Shaddai-Very original graphics, looks phenomenal, fun combat.

5.Final Fantasy 13-Not really underrated because it got 8.5-9.0's everywhere, its like 10 dollars now, if you havent played it you should at least give it a shot.

6.Vanquish-Best shooter this gen period, no multiplayer though.

7.Darksiders-Zelda type game with better combat and good graphics.

Wow! Thank you. Definitely more than I expected. I'll do a little research on those titles.

Well, he said he liked Heavenly Sword, and Enslaved is made by the same developer, Ninja Theory.

I would also like to say that i do think that Resonance of Fate was a few tweaks away from being a great game, Im glad that its developer Tri Ace helped Square Enix make Final Fantasy 13-2.

Is The Saboteur a spy game? Also, would I need to play Yakuza 3 before 4? @crimsonman1245 Is El Shaddai a ninja game?

No, its about god sending Enoch to collect fallen angels.

Its based off a really old religous book.

"Alone in the Dark: Inferno" rocks and it's cheap, "Condemned 2: Bloodshot" is a completely unique first-person melee combat horror title, "MAFIA II" rules, "R.US.E." is a phenominal WWII RTS, "Tom Clancy's EndWar" is also amazing RTS with a voice command twist that works really well, "Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising" is the best tactical shooter ever (**** CoD AND BF3, this is the game), "Enslaved" is excellent story-driven action, "Just Cause 2" is the best TPS sandbox game ever made...

Thanks for all the suggestions. They are saved. Probably going to buy two since they are so inexpensive. Going to watch some video reviews to finalize.

Folklore. Without question the best game that made use of the Sixaxis.

Eternal Sonata, a great RPG with colorful characters and a good combat system.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1+2. Fast, intense ninja action, everyone likes ninjas.

Bayonetta, its like Devil May Cry but with a witch with demonic hair.

MGS4. Play this game before anything else. ;)

Saboteur is a stealth/guerilla shooter set in WW2 in France, only game using a new AA engine ; when you begin play, the parts of town controlled by Nazis are in black and white and when you free them color is back ; music is incredibly faithful to the era (I know, I'm French)

Heavy Rain? I know a lot of people who I told about this game who love it. They never really heard of it, and for a lot of people it doesn't look too attractive. I for one was looking forward to it long before it came out, and bought it release day. Portal 2? This game was huge, but I know many who haven't played it because they say it looks stupid. Do not judge things by the way they look. My brother used to tell me all the time how he thought Oblivion looked stupid...then 4 years after it was released, he finally tried it and was addicted for a long time. Obviously he bought Skyrim afterwards. Darksiders was pretty awesome.

I'd echo quite a few of the ones already mentioned.

Vanquish is a must play!

But I will add the newest Green Lantern game, it's actually not that bad, it's super short and relatively easy, but it's coop story drop in drop out and it's actually kind of fun for a beat em up, the powers are cool enough to keep you interested for a play through, and it just price dropped to 19.99. (Canada)
