FINALLY landed a job for the summer while im home for college, so with the extra dough i decided to sign up for gamefly!

Anyone have some reccomendations for some good rents? Games that are decent enough to play through once or twice? I already ordered all the popular games, im mostly looking for games that i might assume are crappy or something.

So, what games have you guys been pleasantly surprised by?

Well I am not sure if all of these are underrated but here goes...

  • Banjo Nuts and Bolts
  • Fear
  • Fear Files
  • Lost Planet
  • Dark Sector
  • Kameo
  • Condemned
  • Condemned 2
  • Brothers in arms Hell's Highway
  • Civilization Revolution
  • Burnout Revenge
  • Assassin's Creed
  • Quake 4
  • NBA Street Homecourt
  • TNA Impact
  • Virtua Fighter 5

These are all pretty good games but did not recieve TONS of hype like Call of duty, Halo or Gears.

Ill put an (R) next to the games that are rentals and a (B) next to games you should buy. Also Ill put my personal score out of 10 next to it.

Dark Sector 7/10 (B- you can find it for the same price to own as it is to rent. so buy it)
Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway 8.5/10 (R- unless you can find it for under 15$)
Condemned 8/10 (B- its pretty cheap now)
Condemned 2 9/10 (R- unless its cheap)
Kameo 8/10 (B- you'll find it cheap)
Prey 7.5 (R- unless cheap)
The Darkness 9/10 (B)
Harry Potter OOTP yeah yeah stop laughing I liked it :P 7/10 (R)
Tony Hawks Project 8 7.5/10 (B- its cheap)
Test Drive Unlimited 8/10 (B)
Just Cause 8/10 (B)
Lost Odyssey 9/10 (B)
Eternal Sonata 8.5/10 (B)
Hitman Blood Money 8.5/10 (B)

This is all I can think of for now.

Here's my two cents:

Army of Two

The Bourne Conspiracy

Dark Sector

I recommend that you use Ebay if you are going to buy. I got Dark Sector for $4.

I'm playing the game right now actually. The story is indeed intriguing and I like the locales and atmospheres Zoe explores. Too bad it's not a backwards compatible game for the 360.

On topic, I'd suggest Clive Barker's Jericho.
