What are some games you like that didn't get the love or attention they deserved?

Mine:

Valkyria Chronicles II
The Sly Collection
Final Fantasy XIII
Crush
Prince of Persia (Reboot)


I'll probably be adding to this later.

Kept you waiting, huh?
Bioshock 2?
FFXIII?
Prince of Persia 2008?

Underrated doesn't mean what you think it does, evidently, considering they were huge, triple A releases. :lol:

Underrated games are things like the STALKER series, Shenmue, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, Dungeon Keeper.
Hell, FFXIII was one of the biggest, most anticipated releases of 2010, but it sucked.

Now, with that out of the way, I'm pretty much gonna agree with Andy and say STALKER and Shenmue.
Of others, I'd say the Judge Dredd: Dread vs Death game, which kicked major ass.

The X series from Egosoft is also massively underrated considering the sheer scope, immensity and awesomeness of it, also, Fallout Tactics is the hugely under appreciated child of the Fallout series just because it did things a bit differently.

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and it's sequel.
Gradius series.
Metroid Prime. Critical success, but I don't think they sold well.
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy.
Arc the Lad series.
Maximo series.
No More Heroes series.

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos?

Bloomin' Spyro stole all of his limelight but to be fair the sequel was atrocious. Still it would be nice to see the little fella resurface.

Actually I meant any games that don't get the love they deserve and in my opinion FFXIII doesn't deserve all the hate. So :p

Now with that out of the way-

Ok now I'm just being a pest. :lol:

After talking about the new Battlefield DLC i want to add the Battlefield series to my list as its always overshadowed by CoD series.

I wonder who you were discussing that with. :lol:
But yeah, seconded on this, Bad Company 2 in particular at the moment because it's a brilliant game which blows CoD out of the water, yet it gets immediately overshadowed by MW2 and Black Ops.

I see that and I got to agree. There are those who play Bad Company 2 at my school, but mention CoD and everyone will immediatly know what it is and say they like it.

My father only plays Bad Company 2, it's a really damn nice game. But I can see how CoD shines too with more tight and small maps. But some just like the feeling of war over a huge terrain sometimes. :p Or... semi-huge.

I could agree about Battlefield being underrated, and Medal of Honor for that part too. But I like neither so I can't add them.

I can't think of any underrated games in my experience, haven't thought about other people's whining about the games I like, but I'll come back with a game later. ^_^

Holy ****, someone besides me actually played this game! This was a must buy for me considering I'm a Top Cow fan and I love Witchblade and Darkness comics. Game did not disappoint.

Now where the hell is my Witchblade game?

Lots of my friends played it (after my recommendation) and all praised it highly and lots of developers have a real liking for it too and have praised it in the past. It was underrated along with Chronicles of Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay (Starbreeze Studios previous title) and a brilliant game.

I actually didn't think the VA in SF:A was bad... Probably because I was used to the cheesy 64 VAs.
