What'sa game that you really like on the 360 that most people have probably never played or heard of? I really love Operation Darkness. It takes 2 things I love: WW2 history and quirky JRPGs, and combines them into one greatly entertaining game. What's yours?

Operation Darkness is good? I think I might just try it out.. Anyway I would have to say Clive Barker's Jericho it was an excellent bargain bin title. I thought the powers were excellent, combat was pretty good because most had multiple firing modes, the enemies looked cool, some fun boss fights, hard mode felt perfect not easy but not hard, and you unlocked a bestiary which I love.

Hmm, I wrote that one off because the demo didn't impress me, I might pick that one up out of the bargain bin.

Bad Company, but that's not really under the radar as there's still quite a community, it's just not as popular more so. Sorry, I really only buy games that I know are good, but I'll be looking at sales and games for a long time now that I recently was hired at my local Best Buy:) Just had the drug test today too.

That demo was pretty fun. I liked the context sensitive fighting moves and the shooting mechanics, btu the only thing that didn't impress me was the driving, but I'm guessing there's not too much of it.

Under-the-radar doesn't necessarily mean the game got bad reviews, it just means it got overlooked by the general public and even many of the types of people who visit these boards, even though it may actually be a very good game. If you look at a game like Beyond Good and Evil, it got great reviews yet was still widely ignored, so it's also an under-the-radar game.

I liked the demo, but it just didn't seem like something that could hold my interest for more than maybe 20 minutes. It might be worth a rental though.

Blazing Angels (the first one) i only borrowed it for like a day, and im a big ww2 plane simulation fan. i think its cool how they had to rely on turrets instead of missles and there eyes instead of radar. but i went online with it, and there was barely anyone on! i remember though i played 9 cage match type games and won them all, it was really cool!

Kameo, but that might have something to do with that fact it was a launch title. Still, it's a great game that I think goes widely unnoticed. I wish they would make more adventure/platformers like Kameo for any of the systems.

Controls were a little wonky sometimes though, like when you go into Chilla's throw, the camera should turn to where you were facing and force Chilla to automatically turn, not turn to the way he's facing because it's usually in the other direction...don't get me started on swimming xD

Under-the-radar game for me...uh Bourne Conspiracy wasn't that bad, got repetitive though with the extremely long contextual fights on the hardest level. I don't know if Too Human is under-the-radar (because it was hyped to death), but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Put about 30 hours into it.

Although it's a Halo title I feel like Halo Wars is a great game that not a lot of people talk about anymore. There is still enough people playing it online, usually around 12,000 a night but I think the game is really fun both multiplayer and campaign.

Call of Juarez. Even though it was developed in Poland, it feels like you are in the wild west. I really liked the lasso and climbing to the top of that high rock for eagle feather for the native dude. Very memorable.

Stoked is a really great snowboarding game that went under the radar, especially since the release date kept getting moved around. Bullet Witch was another game I liked that wasn't really mainstream.

Edit: I also liked Over-G Fighters and Overlord.

Dark Sector. I loved that game. The combat was fun, the glaive is great, it has puzzles, and, personally, is one of the better shooters on the market. Yet, it was over-looked and called a 'Gears of War clone'. Very demeaning for a title of this quality.

Ridge Racer 6 - Early 360 game. It wasn't perfect, but I surprisingly had a lot of fun with it.

Civilization Revolution - Simply put, this is the best strategy game on any of the current consoles.

Prince of Persia - Decent game. Stunning environment and animations.

Shadowrun - some of the best MP I have ever played and loved the fact it was balanced well betweeen PCs and consoles.

Too Human - overly hyped but still fun

I really want a sequel for both of these games. Shadowrun really didn't stand a chance with out a SP campaign and Too Human could have been great with 4 player co-op and a custimizable control scheme which was most people's complaint with the game.

Halo wars isn't really an under-the-radar game. It's high-profile and has sold quite well.

If they make another Shadowrun game, I'd prefer it to be an actual rpg like the old one on the snes.

I'd go with Shadowrun or Civ Rev. Both of those games have been incredibly fun for me. I was never good at Shadowrun because I couldn't ever seem to get the right setup and I died a lot but I still had a blast with it.
