The Terribly Neglected Games of 2010!

so i wanted to respect them here ms555

Alan Wake was fun and its Microsofts own fault for setting the release date to compete with Red Dead.

Enslaved seems to be criminally neglected. Even by me. I loved the demo but just haven't got round to buying it yet :(

I'd agree with BC 2 being neglected. Itcertainly sold enough copies but it really should have been so much more.

It's definetley of better quality than Call of Duty.

And what happened to Alan Wake is just criminal. I'll never forgive Microsoft for releasing it on the same day as one of this years blockbusters from a dev studio that consistently sells millions upon millions with each consecutive title.

It was the stupidest, most thoughtless decision I've think they've ever made. The game was in development for YEARS! They couldn't have waited a couple of months?

Such a beautiful game, with so much work put into it and selling like it did? It actually makes me sick, it really does...

glad to see splinter cell on the list. It definitely doesnt get the appreciation it deserves.

I thought Blur was a fun little racing game that was very neglected. You can blame its awful marketing for that though.mo0ksi

Yeah, I only played the demo but it was genuinely excellent.

I sort of feel bad now that Bizzare are shutting down. They deserve a lot better than that.

Knights in the Nightmare (PSP) siLVURcross

Gamers' Temple has such a idiotic review on KitK, here's the metacritic quote:

"The nonsensical gameplay is weighed down by far too many complex and confusing rules and stats, and all you really ever do is move a point of light around an SRPG grid-based world."

Har, har, har.

Anyways, I have an obligation to say Sengoku Basara 3 (in the west). The game got so much hate from critics in the west, but I have put in over 200 hours in it and I'm still not done.

Cool, a Nier thread.

Game is GOTY material but was ignored, pretty much everywhere. I'd also toss in DJ Max Portable 3 (best music game this year) and Amnesia, though Amnesia did get praise, it didn't get nearly as much attention as it deserved.

felt like a cheesy rip off of uncharted meets god of war to me. IDK, I keep thinking of getting it but then remind myself of the so-so demo.

Alan Wake was a fantastic game that no one bought. It's a damn shame, too. It was incredibly unique.

And as for the whole release date thing, Rockstar delayed RDR to the date that Alan Wake was already scheduled to release on. People seem to forget that.

Mount&Blade: Warband, it easily has the best medieval combat system smashing a enemy vassal in the face with a maul has never been so satisfying :).
Eschalon Book 2, is the best RPG released this year in my opinion, yet it never seems to get much mention.

I guess Metro 2033.

Tropico 3, one of my favourite 360 games.locopatho

deadly premonition so says mr stewart

I'm gonna have to agree with this one. Although it was strickly single player, wow what a story. The set pieces were so well done (so was the lack of HUD).

Disagreeing with BFBC2, over 9000 people played that game.

As for Alan Wake, as much as M$ wasted ad space screaming about the game, that flavor of survival horror isn't for everyone, DERP.

Yeah, it wasn't the gameplay that drew me in. It was more the story and voice acting. I'll be picking it up eventually. Right after Sonic Colours, Epic Mickey and Donkey Kong Country Returns. Oh, and Lost In Shadow! *sigh* Too many games!

Bioshock 2 and Fallout New Vegas will be forgotten because of the huge shadow of their predeccessors, despite both being arguably better games. Especially Bioshock 2 (and Minerva'sDen :) )

As a Bioshock 1 fanboy I cannot say Bioshock 2 was neglected. The game just feels like it was more focused on that AWFUL AWFUL multiplayer then the actual story of the game. The game is good but I think they should of worked on the single player more

Hopefully Airshock wont have the multiplayer.

Valkyria Chronicles 2- absolutely gigantic and better than the first in many ways. 8.0 is too low plus it's not played by enough people.

Alan Wake For Sure Great story and the way it was told.

How fallout3 is the one that brought the series to where it is today.Lu-Kang

A lot of people don't consider that to be a good thing.

The RPG elements are considered to be a large step forward in comparison to Fallout 3.

- ARMA2: Operation Arrowhead

- Elemental

- ALan Wake

- Heavy Rain

- Kings Bounty Crossworlds

I'll agree with Bad Company 2 being neglected. I can sit and play Bad Company 2 for hours, but can't stand black ops on my 360 for some reason. Everything in that game just feels alot better then COD games to me.

Alan Wake gets my vote....

Does castlevania and yakuza 3 count. Those 2 were basicly part of my favortie games this year.
