Honestly, games get such harsh reviews sometimes. I can think of a few games that everyone should at least try, and I am wondering what you guys think should be on this list? For me, I gotta say Too Human. It's not the BEST RPG, but it's certainly worth playing.

I think maybe star:wars the force unleashed, it is still one of my fav games and im not that big of a nerd for star wars. IT barely costs anything and its rated T. If rating isnt a problem BUY FALLOUT3!!! greatest game evar and its only 25$!!! i bought it for 60$ and i still think i got a deal for it!

Lost odyssey. Viva Pinata. Devil May Cry 4. I wouldn't call Fallout 3 underrated but its a sin to tell somebody to stay away from it, its easily one of this gens greatest.

Did you really just say Fallout 3 is horrible? I can understand not liking it, but calling it horrible is.. horrible.

Viva Pinata was an interesting Idea, but small gardens and constantly having to wreck your garden to insert new stuff simply killed the game for me.

Bionic Commando. Why? Sniper rifles? check. Bullfrog? check. Swing like Tarzan fight Big bosses? absolutely. Able to pick up cars (and people) with mechano-arm and whip-lashing them at enemies? Bliss. Best of all you can get it new for $10. You cant even get a combo meal at Fatburger for that price.

Red Faction: Guerilla for sure. Tom Clancy's HAWX if you like flying games.

And Star Wars TFU and Fallout 3 are nowhere near underrated. They have both sold too many copies.

I would say Wolverine or AVP. Really, really under rated games.
AVP isn't Call of Duty or Halo but it's still a great play.

seen some really good ones so far... I have to say Dark Sector as well. Has some solid shooting mechanics and the glave is a lot of fun to use. Plus it's under 10 bucks nowadays.

You claim that Fallout 3 is a "horrible game" yet you are recommending Enchanted Arms? Well now, that's just wrong. As far as recent games to be released, I think Metro 2033 is going to be the sleeper hit of the year that is going to fly right under most people's radars. As it turns out, some reviews of the game are just missing the point. Darksiders is another game that I enjoyed immensely. It borrows heavily from quite a few other games, but it does so with finesse and is, most importantly, a blast to play.

Did you really just say Fallout 3 is horrible? I can understand not liking it, but calling it horrible is.. horrible.

Well, seeing how he listed Japanese RPGs afterward, he obviously doesn't care for western RPGs. I don't care about that since everyone is entitled to his/her taste but to say to stay away from the game or say it's horrible is just being one-sided.

By the way, Fallout 3 is a fantastic game but it's by no means a game for everyone. But I recommend it over Enchanted Arms or Eternal Sonata anyday.

DarkSector. It's a pretty fun TPS. I'd suggest it for play in between releases, when you have nothing else to play.

Ace Combat 6 - The story is wacky and forgettable but the makes aerial combat fun. Great set pieces that translate well into on-line co-op.

Project Gotham 3 and 4

I just finished playing Dante's Inferno and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I've never played a God of War game before, but I was somewhat intrigued by the genre. I think it was scolded by critics because it's apparently a carbon copy of God of War, which might be a little unfair to compare it that way. Anyways, give it a rent.

Not underrated in terms of sales.. SW:TFU sold MILLIONS... For the record SW:TFU was a shallow game.. Force powers were gimmicky as hell. Not to mention the physics part of it was broken.. Controls were extremely clunky.. I would have to say Lost Odyssey.

Eternal Sonata. It's not underrated score-wise, but it doesn't get as much attention as a FF13, Tales of Vesperia or Lost Odyssey in terms of JRPGs. It's a wonderful game that should not be missed.

Kameo is another excellent game that is under appreciated. Fun adventure game.

Enchanted Arms was a game I played for 10 hours then after that I couldn't get myself to finish it.

I had a lot of fun from Crackdown - most of the people I heard ever buying it was cuz of the Halo 3 beta.

I'd play enchanted arm over fallout 3 anyday. sure it's hard to get past the extremely annoying charecter for the first couple of hours of EA, but it's a good jrpg with a different take on health and what not, soo much better then fallout 3. I'm not bashing fallout without having played it either, I played it for 10 hours before I just couldn't take it anymore and put it away forever. I tried, REALLY tried to like it, but it just sucks. edit: oops - somehow missed there was a second page. You could say enchanted arms over fallout 3 fine, but not eternal sonata, no way. and for the person who said he heard it was short, it's not, I don't remember how many hours I had into it but it's not short. I love ME, which is more a western style rpg, but lets face it there is nothing good about fallout 3. Also I second darksiders, great game, great fun.

Frontlines: Fuel of War was good, it was a obvious copy of Battlefield but it has some pretty fun moments. I would also recommend Endwar, I have never taken the time to really beat the game but it is a good RTS for any of you who like RTSs, it is the only RTS that I can think of that doesn't really go for that whole guns blazing thing, it's a tough RTS for any RTS veterans who want a good challange. Oh, and Mercenarys 2, it is a terrible game alone but when you play it with a friend it can be a blast... literaly. I have had a lot of fun messing around in Mercs 2 but you might only want to get it if it's like $9 in the bargin bin.

Red Faction Guerrilla. Yeah, it got an 8.5 but in my opinion it should have been 9.0 and not nearly enough people played it.

Also, all Banjo games on Xbox. What's going on there? Like nobody bought the XBLA ones and Nuts and Bolts was hated by a ton of people but in my opinion it was just as amazing as the others.

Dude, it isn't even close to horrible. It's easily one of the best games this gen, I can tell you're one of those who just didn't get it and stopped playing after 10 minutes. It took them 6 years if I'm correct to develop.

The Darkness because it's a FPS that is a great game and it's just not as popular as it should be. It's one of the few FPSs with a fantastic story.

The Saboteur got average reviews, but it's a pretty good game. It's kind of like a WWII themed GTA. It's kind of nice playing a WWII game that isn't a FPS or shoddy flight sim as well. For multi-player i'll go with H.A.W.X. It's to bad because not to many flyers if any have a good online population. H.A.W.X wasn't great, but it was fun online. I wish they would make a new Crimson Skies.

red faction geurilla wasn't underrated...

And Lost Planet was? That game sold like 2 million copies. Everyone I talk to has never even played Red Faction.

Mirror's Edge, no doubt. I saw Enchanted Arms was mentioned here, and it's actually not that bad. That is, if you don't mind using japanese voices. The English ones are terribad.
