For me, it would be Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood and Midnight Club: Los Angeles. It doesn't seem like these games had much hype, but they were both excellent. Midnight Club (starting with the 2nd game) is my favorite racing franchise and Los Angeles may be the best of them. Using an analog stick as the accelerator is brilliant and the city is gorgeous. Call of Juarez has a great setting, looks stunning, has a well-presented story and has some tight, exciting gameplay. It's a shame it doesn't have a co-op mode.

Honestly, I know this may sound bad. But Ninja blade and Alone in the dark inferno. Though not polished to the best shinst exterior they provided excellent entertainment.

Mirrors Edge

I'd agreed with that aswell.Gunplay wasn't the best and they shouldn't have forced it at the end but it still was alot of fun.

Demigod as quite overlooked. Also, Sins of a Solar empire is the best RTS this gen. So epic.

Agreed, Stardock is a fantastic dev. I just wish there was a little more content in Sins of a Solar Empire. It has fantastic gameplay but it doesn't feel quite done.

Majoras Mask, as if you even needed to ask me this :P

Although wrong, i can sort of understand games such as Lost Winds, Mirrors edge being overlooked. But when an AAAA game such as MM that is from the Zelda series is overlooked, tis just sad.

I mean it more in the sense of critics opinions.

I would agree with you 1 year ago but now after the release of entrenchment i think the game has enough content most importantly they made more defensive weapons available ( those starbases are amazing addition ) As for overlooked games Sins of a solar empire of course Mirror's edge Trine Cryostasis Battlefield Vietnam ( ok not as great as BF2 or BF1942 but still quite a good game ) Blood ( most that think 90's oc fps think HL,quake,Duke nukem, Unreal )

Call of Juarez BiB was a little disappointing. Liked the voice acting , concept , and setting ... but the gameplay wasn't up to snuff.

GalCiv2, I think it's the best strategy game his gen. I know it's in a niche genre, but Civilization sells millions, it should had reached those people since it's pretty much the next best thing ..if not better.

I didnt even know there was shooting in this game until I bought it. I dont get why critics made a huge deal out of the gunplay[QUOTE="shutdown_202"]

I agree with MM. It is the best Zelda IMO with a great story and many improvements from OoT, but it is still overshadowed by its big brother.

I was going to say Valkyria Chronicles, but it gets a fair amount of love here. Not enough in my opinion, but thankfully a sequel is being made. :D
