No Metacritic, Gameranking, Gamespot etc.

I'd like to know what's YOUR favorite games, regardless they scored AAAA. AAA, AA. AA or even E.

This is both an out-of-curiosity thread, but also a cue from everyone on what games are wroth a try.

I'm sure there are many hidden gems out there that no one knows about and/or scored low, which often translates in "I'll pass".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~why gamespot why? this formatting thing sucks.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My favorites ( that I've played ) so far are the followings:

NDS: Simpson: The Videogame ( I also got this for 360 but I thought it sucked. on the DS it played nicely. it's actually a good platformer. )

Wii:Boom Blox ( it's addicting and actually challenging )

Klonoa ( for those who have not played it on ps2. try it! )

360:Banjo Nuts and Bolts ( how this game has 79 on MC as an average is beyond me )

Bully ( also on Wii/Ps2/Pc. I've had plenty of fun with this game, more than GTA IV for sure. I highly suggest playing it. )

Pc: I need lots of suggestions here. back in the days i liked a game called "The Thing"

Valkyria Chronicles deserved at least an Editor's Choice award.

I think Deus Ex only scored AA on Gamespot, yet it is one of the finest games I've ever played. It should have got 9.5 or 10.

- Deus Ex

- Fallout1/2

- Suikoden 1

- Ultima Online

- WIzardry Gold

- Ratchet and Clank (first one on the ps3)

- Mario Kart 64

- TF2 (deserves a 10/10 on pc)

The obvious choice, is MArio KArt 64.

Also, TP and Other M, are easily a 9.0

And to this day, i don't uderstand how someone can gave Valkyria Chronicles an 8.5, IMO, 9.0 material.

Those are the only that i can think of right now.

Alpha Protocol although it deserved to be ripped on. Risen and Two Worlds are games I enjoyed even though they are terribly flawed.

Gauntlet Legends and Dark Legacy. Gamespot panned them badly, but these were the last good Gauntlet games ever released. Seven Sorrows just plain sucked.

Did Klonoa really get bad scores? that game was amazing fun and it was nice to play a 2D platformer compared to all the clumsy 3D ones Sony had out at the time (save a few ofcourse)

I think Deus Ex only scored AA on Gamespot, yet it is one of the finest games I've ever played. It should have got 9.5 or 10.

Agree, even today its hard to find a game as deep so it should have been a 10.

Mount and blade gamespot gave it a 6.0 which is complete bollocks. Everybody else who played it gives it between 8.0-9.5 score. The guy gave it a bad score because its graphics when its the gameplay that matters. The guy who reviewed it is complete idiot!

Mirror's Edge, Odin Sphere, Dead Rising and Prince of Persia [2008]. Four of my favourite games this gen... none of them scored over 8.5/10.

Monster Hunter 2nd G, Imo, it is better than 80% of PC, PS3, 360 and Wii games all combined. Yeah, I just love it that much.

ModNation Racers - over looked, but probably one of the best multiplayer games this gen. You have to play it a lot online to understand. Playing it split screen online with a friend AND with tons and tons of the best customizable tracks that you will see (some being better designed than any other kart racing game, no joke - people spend like 10+ hours designing tracks) is probably the most fun you'll have gaming if you like racing games.

The criticism about the game being too hard to pick up because the gameplay isn't as simple as Mario Kart Wii should be thrown out the window. After 6 races or so, my friend (who loves Mario Kart Wii and only has a Wii), got the controls down and was owning me in races somehow. You can customize the handling of the karts anyways and drifting feels amazing + easier to control than in Mario Kart Wii.

Gameplay in this game is deep, very strategic, and a lot of fun when you play people of various skill levels.

WII: the grudge this game was really scary and got 4 and i expected a 6.5. PS2: The suffering and condemed i think those 2 games were very underrated. PS3: uncharted 1 got an 8.5 and i expected 9.0 also AVP got 5.5 and i expected a 7.0.
