I was thinking about making myself a top ten list for a blog post and it got me thinking... I really loved some games that are waayy too unappreciated by the gaming public...

For example, this generation, I really really loved Blazing Angels 2, it truly was a fantastic game and it never got the props that it deserved. Last Gen, Call of Cthulhu got the short end, a fantastic game on so many levels.

Which games do you think were amazing that were completely overlooked by the gaming public?

Marvel Ultimate Alliance doesnt get enough love imo. It needs more.

On a last gen note, i agree with Cthulu, i loved that games. Also Cold Fear was vastly underappreciated, it got entirely overshadowed by Resident Evil 4, and although Resi 4 deserved the attention, Cold Fear didnt deserve to be left out in the dust, it was a great game.

I think 2D games in general don't get enough recognition. Though this has been changing slowly with the XBLA games. If only they'd get the first two Oddworld games on there...

Shadowrun, sure, it's essentially online only, but, it delivers online.

Blue Dragon, hated by many, but, a rich involved story and traditional mechanics make this game a great one.

Two Worlds, not perfect by ANY stretch, graphics only slightly better than Oblivion, but, engaging skill system, and complete freedom to do anything from slaughter towns to steal horses makes up for the very basic main story.

Gun, called "easy points" rather than "good solid game" by many, open ended wild west shooter, made by a top level studio, delivers an authentic "feel" and slow gunning action...which is precisely what people hated.

Kameo, come on, it's under $15 NEW, and it's still superb.

Condemned! I am a huge fan of the Silent Hill and RE games, but Condemned beat them for late night jump-out-of-your-seat scares. If you like scary games, Condemned just went greatest hits. It's short (8 hours), but well worth $20 for the experience.

I would say Tomb Raider: Anniversary. It's a very special title for me. I love how they changed from Hollywood-style Legend to a very ambient Anniversary.

I'd say, Table Tennis by Rockstar. It was a really well made ping pong game and no one i know plays it.

For me, Crackdown and Saints Row. Many people didn't like those games but I did a lot.

Orange Box for sure, GRAW2 was amazing as well. Nobody likes these games, why?
