[QUOTE="SparkyProtocol"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"]The Witcher and Sins of a Solar not only have the good critical reception, but have enjoyed strong sales. So no to either of them Stalker is the best game out of the other 3 IMO. Mckenna1845
SoC has enjoyed strong sales too. I chose it though because it is the most undergound.

no more heroes was the same, i believe it was suda's best selling game, though not a fantastic seller. none of them are really underground, but they definitely don't get the coverage alot of games get on here.

My pick would be something like The Darkness. A game that got pretty good reviews, but was overshadowed completely by everything else. That narrative was awesome :)

Yeah, but out of the hour or so that I played it I could not get use to its gunplay.

The Witcher, no doubt about that. Great game, great atmosphere, great storytelling.

nothing about video games is 'underground'. you dont know what that word means. but in the context youre inappropriately using it, out of those games, sins of a solar empire. no more heroes was a bad game; the other choices are all good but i just found sins to be a better game, though not by much (especially close to the witcher).

some other good games in this vein to consider are knights in the nightmare, jeanne darc, and not sure it counts as this gen but galactic civilizations 2

It's hard to choose between The Witcher and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. The first I consider the bestRPG this gen, and the second the bestFPS this gen.

You havn't got any representation for the Xbox 360, and you might want to add one for the DS instead of having 3 on the PC.

Crackdown in place of Sins mabye? I would have put either Zack and Wiki or Little Kings Story in place of No More Heroes because frankly it's better and they sold much less as far as I'm aware. For the DS The World Ends with You seems to be popular, though I've never played it, and not sure what it sold. Regardless there is a fair bit on the DS in this category.

EDIT: Also the next time someone does one of these make the title "Which Game is the Underground Hero of this Generation That Isn't Valkyria Chronicles", because no matter what options you put up it wins every time.

I'm going with Travis Touchdown and No More Heroes. The game is amazing and didn't have as much attention and sales it deserved. It's sad that creator of NMH had to sell toilet rolls with the game in order to get peoples attention :(
