I've been loving inFamous lately. First half is good. Second half is exceptionally good in my opinion. The fact that it wasn't even nominated for PS3 Game of the Year is downright sinful in my opinion. Somehow I get this feeling that a lot of PS3 owners missed out on this gem.

I loved all of my nominees, but it seems like most PS3 owners missed the boat because of the lack of hype for these fantastic exclusives.

I'd love to hear what you guys think and have an intelligent discussion about great games that get too little hype or credit.

And I missed out on Ratchet and Clank during the PS2 era. Joined the party in the PS3 generation. Love these games...wish more people did too.

By the way, feel free to add me to your Friends List if you are looking to play with a mature, 25-year old, team-oriented gamer. Only bother adding me if you also use a headset for team oriented games.

Definitely Valkyria Chronicles. That game gets way too much love. It's down to 20Euro here in Germany along the lines of Haze and Lair :(

I really enjoyed dead space when I picked it from the bargain bin, I was desperate for some fps action in the middle of summer and this was well worth it. Not just a good shooter but some nice twists on the norm, like shooting off limbs rather than just blast at the head and body, and using the guns at the right angle to achieve this, very simple but made you think a little more than usual

I got infamous sitting on the shelf right now. I missed it early on and haven't had time to play it. But I'm excited to play it now. Out of your list I'd go with Valkyria Chronicles but thats my obvious choice for most under appreciated Ps3 game. There are other games I feel need more love and they are: Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds - Sure the install time is annoying and you need to spend alot of time updating just to play online and not many play. However, this is a great game and I'd argue it as the second best game in the series. Formula 1 CE - A very good sim racing game. Hard to control with the driving aids turned off but once you learn its great. The game is very fast and very precise. Graphically it holds up very well for being an early release. Wipeout HD - Poor Sony Liverpool, they have two games on my list. For the price everyone should have this game. Much like Formula 1 CE this is also fast and precise requiring you to overcome a learning curve. The online and the support for this game is fantastic. Also, its conbat racing who dosen't like that?

Ratchet and Clank:ACIT. It's a pretty awesome game and yet very few people think it's as great as the PS2 R&C games.

Both VC and Demon's Soul, but I would have to side with VC overall.

I agree. Heavenly Sword is under rated. But I hope we can agree that Heavenly Sword is no better than an 8.5. The games I've listed above are 9.0+ worthy.

It's a shame, if that game had a trophy patch, I'd gladly buy a used copy and replay it. Or Sony could be smart and you know...give it the Greatest Hits designation and re-release with a price drop.

Modern Warfare 2 is a brilliant game which is underrated because of the apparent 'controversy' behind it. It is without a doubt the best online game out!

I think inFamous was over looked. It was a great game. But i voted for Demons Soul/ VC. I mean how many people could've forseen how great both of these games were? They used to be impossible to find. I have both of them, but over the summer VC was rare and when DS realeased it was hard to find. Both are great games.

I encourage you all to buy BioShock. Walmart still has it and it's only 20 bucks! It's made by Bethesda, so it feels a lot like Fallout 3. It's amazing!

All those games except MLB I've heard nothing but good things about, and I also played them all and enjoyed them all. I wouldn't call any of them under appreciated.

Totally agree. I voted MLB The Show due to no one ever recommending it to someone who is new to the PS3. I've had my PS3 for 2 years now and when I picked up MLB 08 The Show I knew right then I made a wise decision buying the PS3. Best sports game out IMO.

krsvbg
Actually, BioShock was made by 2K Games. It feels nothing like Fallout 3...... NOTHING like Fallout 3. It was highly appreciated, too, so it really has no place here. Were you being sarcastic by chance? ............... Anyway, my answer is VC - awesome game with little love from the big critics.

I'd have to go with Ratchet and Clank. I loved ToD, but for some reason I just haven't gotten around to buying ACIT. Don't know why, I just never got that excited about it even though I loved the first one...

uh oh, looks like krsvbg is on crack kids...:P

Yeah it was made by Irrational Games, formerly 2K Boston, formerly Irrational Games (and nothing like Fallout 3)

As for most underappreciated, right now it's got to be Bayonetta.

Agreed. The PS3 version is catching FAR to much flack. It's not bad in any way, shape, or form.

On the poll, Valkyria Chronicles.

Regarding inFamous, I personally think an 8.5 is a perfectly appropriate score. The game has serious pacing issues, and the way that new powers is unlocked EVERY TIME was terribly uncreative/yawn inducing.

i dunno, i think heavenly sword is a great game. it was just far too short. the graphics and voice acting were right there with uncharted. the use of the sixaxis is still the best ive experienced on the ps3. and the combat system was fun and fluid. if it were longer and more to do, maybe side missions that game would be a 9 or 10 in my book. i do agree it should get a price drop though. more ppl would buy it and experience what a first rate title it is and why nariko was loosely used asthe ps3 banner girl for a while.

and i think infamous is overrated NOT under appreciated. it just feels like they rushed certain aspects of it. that or ran out of time/money. that happens to devs a lot.

PS3 version of Eternal Sonata and folklore.

Abecale

I completely agree with you sr, Folklore is the best early game for the ps3 IMO and the ps3 version of eternal sonata is a lot better than the 360 version (there is no difference in graphics, but the game is a lot harder).

I had a blast playing Dark Sector. Sure it was a rip-off, but it was a damn good one. Also, Valkyria Chronicles gets a lot of love on here, but it's still less than what the game deserves.

I think it depends on what u mean by unappreciated. I voted Valkyria Chronicles...great reviews, great game, but not very good sales. A couple u didn't have on your list come to mind: Mirror's Edge and Formula One Championship Edition. Both are great games that didn't get the sales to show for it.

My fav PS3 game - Untold Legends Dark Kingdom Sports games are in a realm of their own and generally recieve little to no credit in forums, so I would completely excuse them on any list (besides best sports game). Maybe the reason why it's only recieved 1 vote..

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is kind of underappreciated, it's not the best, but there are some good things about it if you look past the surface, plus, it's still a great game in its own right.

Yeah, i reckon its because Rachet and Clank 3 was soooo good, and still is. That its hard to think it has been topped. And not enough PS3 owners have played infamous.

i think you live on an island because many of the games you listed have a very large fan base and are appreciated a lot. 2009 was a great year for gaming and you can nominate all of the games that came out for GOTY

I think it is going to be MAG after it comes out. I love the game, but it seems several reviewers do not meaning it will not sale as well... as long as the die hard fans get it though I am good.
