I agree in the point the TC is trying to make but not on most of the examples he gave, seriously those platformers were sub-par to me and i wasn't a fan of X-com.Oscar-Wilde
The only reason why those sub-par platformers are taken for granted are the sole fact that they were more for the 'kiddy' gamers. Their style, story, gameplay, and overall level design are far superior,a nd usually taken for granted by most gamers. Spyro series had the best level design for a platformer, and so did sly 2.. THese games style was hugely taken for granted, because banjo kazzoie was hipper, mario was a huge franchise, and conker swore alot caused those games to be more popular...

Ever wonder HOW those games become overrated? Because the first game of the franchise was fantastic, hence people overhyping sequels.

No matter what you say, overrated franchises deserve the credit they earned.

Nah in most cases it is because the game is popular... That is the reason why games like COD3, and COD2 get high scores.. Because the game was called COD, which the only 2 good ones were COD 1, and 4.

And to become popular the franchise must have good games...

Frankly, if any games are underrated it's these:

Introversion, you are truely awesome.

:D

If you haven't played Uplink, Defcon or Darwinia yet I feel it is your duty to go do it. And help support these bedroom programmers, you won't play anything like it :D

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]Freespace 2 is the only good game there.numba1234
Total Annhilation is one of the best games ever made. Alpha Centauri is superior to every civilization game made... Rayman 2 has a legit case of being the best 3d platformer ever made, and the best ubisoft game ever made... Spyro Ripto rage is another underwhelmingly high scoring game, that gets zero credit. Sly 2 was the best platformer last gen...

totally agree with u, that guy has no idea what he is talking about.

Those games ARE amazing (I played the hell out of'em), but I think the point the TC is trying to make is that the universally praised games in the OP are completely forgotten by us here in SW.
