when people mention something from platinum games, its usually bayonetta or vanquish. madworld is still great though.

I feel like I underpaid the 2.50 during a Steam sale. Really great game.

Eternal Sonata. Great game that was criticized for trying to be too artsy at times. But it has one of the best battle systems in a game I have ever played around with, beautiful settings and scenes that just made me drop my jaw that I had to replay it to see them again. Fantastic RPG!

The game in my sig. Nobody talks about it anymore. Hell, it seems people think Other M is the only Metroid to have been released this generation. And after playing the atrociously mediocre Other M, and ridding myself of cynicism towards Nintendo, I've come to appreciate Corruption for what it is: a fantastic finale to the Metroid Prime trilogy. Despite its yawn-worthy boss fights and atrocious dialogue, it is a Prime game through-and-through, and exemplifies why Retro are among the absolute best developers out there. It was to Echoes what Echoes was to Prime... a large, confident step forwards, away from what came before it and into uncharted waters... where they had great success despite fan hypocrisy of wanting new, but not accepting change. All three games are outstanding, yet for different reasons. Which makes playing them all that much more enjoyable. Going back and forth between the games gives a fresh experience each time, because something is just so different, or something that is the same, is just that much better. i.e. Prime has the best soundtrack, Corruption has the best set of equipment and combat, Echoes has the best world-design and bosses... and all of them have unique, and outstanding lore.

As for games that didn't sell heaps, probably Enslaved or even Hawx/Hawx 2.

Skate

lespaul1919

yes! talk about an amazing revolutionary game. this game utterly destroyed all tony hawk games with just the controls.

From a person who blades it was like wow its a game that is skating without absurd moon physics.Sitting for hours making videos and snazzy photos was a massive draw for me xD Aswell as doing pulling of the impossible like hippy fflips :P

Completed 1 and most of 2 and 3, but 3 left a bad taste in my mouth it felt disjointed.

Just wish black box would afford the same treatment to snowboarding would really love a snowboarding game in the same vein as skate but S.White's fell flat apart from its stellar sound track it was meh-tastic.

Cryostasis: The sleep of reason

one of the better stories around in a video game, and some impressive visuals that really convey the icey setting

Guppy507

I came in here to say this, so well played. Also, the story is easily one of the best in video games to date.

Storytelling is amazing, but the story they were trying to tell was nonsense. That said, it's my answer as well.

I disagree. It was a bit strange at times due to its Russian vagueness, but nonsense it was not.

Just a few on the top of my head

Bayonetta

Castlevania LoS

FF crisis core

Just Cause 2

MobilechicaneX

bayonetta a forgotten gem? bayonetta got a huge amount of (undeserved) praise...

You gave Bayonetta a 1.0. :lol:

a righteous score I should add...

MP3 was an extremely boring game, I dont even know how could I manage to beat it...

Good choice. Quake 4's campaign had a surprisingly fresh feeling. Good pacing, gunplay, and had the action Doom 3 severely lacked. The MP is what turned people off from this game, but it was decent in its own right. Just no Quake 3/Live.

Alot underrated..
