Having got Binary Domain yesterday, I've been playing and I have to say it is pretty awesome. It is definately more "Gears" than "Judgment" thats for sures lol. The story is great and the gameplay is very similar to that of Gears of War, with the same button layouts and prompts to take cover and stuff. I can't play the mulitplayer because no one is playing it lol. Other than that, the single player is great IMO. Having said that, what games do you guys feel have been underappreciated?

I did a couple blogs on this, if anyone wants to look at them (might have to dig a bit), but here's some off top of my head

Bourne Conspiracy
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Darkness 1 & 2
Darksiders 1 & 2
Driver
Shadows of the Damned
Dark Sector
Wet
Alice: madness returns
Stuntman Ignition
Castlevania Lords of Shadow
Tony Hawk Project 8
Singularity
Condemnded 1 & 2
Crackdown 1 & 2
Viva Piniata
 

Any of these are easily purchased for $20 or under online. I think everyone should play these, they are great games. I know I'm forgetting lots.

As far as I know, The darkness, Condemned 1 & 2, Darksiders 1 & 2 and Castlevania were pretty popular back in the day!

I know for sure that everyone was crazy about Condemned 1 (the second one was also great, but kind of a let down at the end, won't explain why because of spoilers).

 

From my point of view, out of the top of my head:

 

Alan Wake (one of my favorites games this gen, yet not very popular).

Lost Odyssey (excellent old school japanese rpg, still waiting for a second one).

Splatterhouse (it was awesome!).

From the people around me, Bioshock 2, slated for having multiplayer, I thought it was a nice addition, more reason to keep playing.

WET, a woman protagonist doesn't normally go down well, but i thought it had some good moments.

Burnout: Paradise? Assassins Creed: Revelations and Fuel in my opinion. I really love those games but not many people do. Especially not with AC: Revelations and Fuel.

Is it mandatory that someone makes one of these posts like once a month or something? I feel like there's always a new one of these. Anywho...

On 360, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. Zone of the Enders HD Collection, perhaps.

Said it once and I'll say it again: Alpha Protocol. Also, Singularity was good. I still feel Darksiders didn't get the love it deserved.

Borderlands 1 got a 8.5, which seems fair. Borderlands 2 got the same mark which might be overly favorable.

I can only think of one for now and that is Dragon's Dogma. It's ratings are not that bad, but I feel like it wasn't talked about enough. I might be able to think of more later.

I've tried Dragons Dogma a few times but I can't seem to enjoy it. I got Dark Arisen on release day and I plan on returning it today. I think the review scores were too generous.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. Before Red Dead Redemption came out, you could say this was probably the best western game available on the current generation systems. I certainly enjoyed all it had to offer.
