Post your REALLY underappreciated games here

Well i just came across a literal gem that suits me to the ground on Sunday night (im not an avid PC games player) but i decided to look through the steam store while i was redownloading CS:S to my new laptop and decided to try out DEFCONand its demo after 1 match i was hooked and literally still even today kicking myself in the head how i never ever came across this gem sooner.Its so simplistic it reeks of fun and a strategy is deeper than one might think couple of times today when i was supposed to do college work i was sittign with DEFCON on in the background pummeling away at the computer xD.

Anyway post your underappreciated games you think should get even more recoqnition that they deserve.

Old game,but Shadow of Rome.

It's my favorite game of all time.
I still want a sequel Capcom!

S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear Sky, there really is a fantastic game between the piles of bugs

The most underappreciated game I ever played was World in Conflict. But it wasn't from the critics, the critics were putting that game head-to-head against CoD4 for 2007's Game of The Year. It didn't get as much attention from PC Gamers and I honestly don't know why. It's such a great game and has godly community/clan support that only a dev who truly loves PC gaming would come up with. Sadly, the amount of people who play it aren't very high in numbers.

Urban Chaos Riot Response, quality PS2/Xbox FPS from the guys who made Batman: AA, severly underappreciated, I've never come across somebody else who has played it.

Viva Pinata and Kameo = some of this gen's. Rare has done a great job this gen and gets zero credit.

For me it's EASILY Dynasty Tactics 2 for PS2. I'm a TBStrategy freak & I place it right along FFT, Disgaea & FM3. If you haven't played & see it for sale.......

BUY IT

Folklore

The Darkness

echochrome. For some reason this game just does it for me, I'm sure its not the same for others. Its pretty mind bending at times, the music is soothing and although the visuals may hurt some eyes, I enjoy them. Very simple black & white and the guy from the back pain commercial :lol:.

I was going to pick Flower as well but I know a lot of people hate that game or just don't ge it at all. It is, imo, one of the most beautiful games of all time.

I'll have to second The Darkness. One of the best campaigns this generation, IMO

Freespace 2, Dungeon Keeper series, Populous Series, Sacrifice, AVP2, Vampires the Masquerades Blood Lines..sSubZerOo

I can think of a whole load of games that fly under the radar. Here is just one of them- Escape Velocity: Nova.

This is only one of the three games in the series (the most recently released), but it's got multiple storylines with multiple endings, and you don't even have to get involved if you don't want! The universe is yours to do with it what you will. Awesome stuff, and great editing tools included, too.

Look at the size of this map!! And the friendly/unfriendly zones change depending on who you form alliances with, etc. I could sing this game's praises all day. :P

I can't stand when people don't know anything about Actraiser... it drives me crazy. Seriously one of the best games I've ever played... its on wiiware right now for like 8 bucks too. GO GET IT!

Dark Cloud 2 (the first was pretty bad, but is an awesome game).

hm... i really enjoyed Crash Commando on PSN. i dont really see many people talking about it...

its a little like sci-fi shooter, but on a 2d plane...with jet packs

Viva Pinata and Kameo = some of this gen's. Rare has done a great job this gen and gets zero credit.

KingTuttle

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds.

Crash Nitro Kart

Matrix: Path of Neo

The Simpsons Game

For me, it's gotta be Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure. It's an awesome DS game that fared pretty well with critics too. And just check out the music for the game (free for download in the first link)! Last time I saw it on store shelves it was $10 at Walmart too, so if you don't have it, come on, get it! :D

FEAR 2 on the PS3. I enjoyed that game a lot more than several higher rated games.

Fear2 on the 360 for me. Most reviews said the gameplay, story, and visuals were better in the first one, I disagree on all of those. Especially the story. It blows my mind how people could think the story in the first one was better when it was told so poorly that even the fear wiki was conflicted as to what actually happened in the first game.

Deadly Premonition

Earth Defense Force 2017

Raiden Fighters Aces

Prey

Silent Hill Homecoming

Siren: Blood Curse

Alright, we're going to stretch way back in time for a few of these:

1) Little Nemo (NES[I've forgotten the full title of the game, but it's based on the children's animated feature film. Great game.])

2) Legend of Legaia (PS). Not a perfect game by any means and took a lot of time for battles, but the battle system was fantastic and the animations + style was infectious. Definitely one of PS's best RPGs.

3) SSX Tricky (PS2). Awesome game, the pinnacle of the franchise.

4) Mirror's Edge (PS3/360). Great visuals and innovative gameplay, definitely worth the $20 I plopped down for it.

5) Marble Blast Ultra (360arcade). Still baffled it scored so poorly on GS, loved the online play and would love a sequel.

Congrats to any user that knows one of these games.

I'll have to second and third the choices of Earth Defense Force 2017 and Folklore, but I have another one.

Valkyria Chronicles. For everyone singing this game's praise, has it even moved 1 million units yet? I sure as heck hope so.

i will say it over and over again METAL ARMS GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM. great game from last gen on every console. you lems out there should get it off the 360 storeriver_rat3117

that was a great game... still have it for my GC

I'm actually mad that Dynasty Tactics 2 can't get any props. No one else played it, therefore I can't get DT3!!!

I don't think I've ever even met another person that's played it before.

What a shame

More people should have bought this game.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds.

Crash Nitro Kart

Matrix: Path of Neo

The Simpsons Game

Company of Heroes It got the praise. Fantastic praise actually, with a 93 on Metacritic and a 9 here. But it never received the credit it deserves. Like Relic's previous games, it advanced the genre forward and yet still fails to be recognized.mo0ksi
