There is already a hate thread for “overrated” games, but what games do you think deserve more attention?
Here’s mine:
-Psychonauts- Totally awesome. Deserves a sequel.
-Psi-Ops- Basically invented physics in videogames
-Army of Two- Co-op with a HUMAN partner was a blast. So was getting a gold-plated AK-47 with an undermounted shotgun.
May be of interest if you haven’t seen this, Psi-Ops for Free on PC
Definitely Psychonauts. A spectacularly written game.
Minesweeper.
Once you get to know how to play it, it’s actually a really good game if you are doing boring stuff like unrarring or burning a CD.
I am not joking.
Army of Two was absolutely overrated.
prey. very cool uniqe game that really needs a sequel…
Oh right, I forgot to include my underrated game: Call of Cthulhu for the Xbox 1. Fucking fantastic game, amazing atmosphere, and this awesome ‘mental stability’ feature that made your character trip balls when monsters were around. :jizz:
silent hill
beyond good and evil
earth 2150 ( my god, when it came out it blown me away, most rts games even today dont have half of the options it had )
prey
OMFG I loved that game!
Geez, I really don’t think Silent Hill was underrated at all, however it did come out along side the already established Resident Evil games, so perhaps it was eclipsed.
I kinda feel that Jade Empire belongs in this thread. Sweet mercy that game -needs- a sequel.
Any game with a character called Sir Roderik Ponce Von Fontlebottom The Magnificent Bastard deserves the highest praise.

He was hilarious. I can’t help but wonder if the Bioware crew were Terry Pratchett fans. Alas, poor Terry.
Speaking of which, I would love to see a game based in the Discworld’verse.
As always with these threads, got to join in with the pimping of Psychonauts.
I also forgot to mention the Abe’s Odyssey series (first and second ones getting special mention).
I’m looking forward to seeing this thread fill up, there’s a ton of games I know I’m not thinking of but would definitely look up again.
before silent hill 2 nobody gave a shit about silent hill ;] Its funny how now noby give a shit again after the crappy sh4 and 5 ;/
meybe i will instal it and check it out once again ;D I loved taking my best units to the next map ;D
B’ah, the first Silent Hill was the best. But yeah, the latter Silent Hill games were less than exceptional. Homecoming was a breeze, interesting enemy designs though, for the few that it had.
Tombi! and Tombi! 2 (Tomba in the US)
Digimon World
This may sound weird (but it’s judging on what the community often say).

Many people say that it’s the place where n00bs feel good as it is easy. WTF. Sure it’s easier than 1.6 but not by much. A community makes an online game hard or easy, players are all on the same boat.
Decay for the PS2 was an underrated game. It had co-op mode only. There was no single player where you could control only one character. You either had to control both characters by yourself or have a friend play along with you. Gearbox Software was supposed to make it for the PC but Sony did not let them. There is a free PC port mod that Ukranian developers made. Just click this link to get the download page:

Legend of Zeld: The Wind Waker. When I initially saw screen shots for this game when it was in development I remember being repulsed by the cel style graphics (plus I wanted a more direct sequel to OoT). However I completely turned around on this stance when I saw how beautifully crafted the world was, animations, environments, the whole thing.
The main failing I found with the game was navigating the seas, which sometimes took a hell of a lot more time than it should have. Outside of that spectacular game.
