The only game I can think of is Iron Brigade. I never see anyone other than myself talking about it.

3D Dot Game Heroes isn't talked about much... It's basically a 3D modeled retro throwback Zelda / Dragon Warrior game... It's a good game, but I can't play it for too long because the art design choices make my eyes hurt. Maybe it's just me, but the blocky 3D models on top of modern era textures clashes too much.

Retro Game Challenge for the DS: MASSIVELY fantastic game. There's a sequel, but since this one didn't get much attention, it was never brought over to the US. :(

It's basically a compilation of "Famicom" games... near-parodies of NES games... and you have to complete certain challenges within the games to unlock the next game and set of challenges. Once you've completed all the challenges, you can play the games as much as you want... and they're all really fun, arcadey, NES-type games.

The Saboteur, the Section 8 games, Hydrophobia, FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage, Renegade Ops and maybe some other few (maybe the Perfect Dark remake, no one seems to talk about that even though its really well made).

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron. No-one bought that. I thought it was brilliant, though.

How about Venetica?

Way of the Samurai 1, 3, and 4? I missed out on 2, myself. :/

Sadly, I think remember Me is going to go that way.

Well, I have some things like "Cross Edge", "Trinity Soul", and "Hyperdimension Neptunia" (the first one) which were under-the-radar JRPGs that you don't hear a lot about.
Ask me in about a month or three and I'll say "Time and Eternity".

When it comes to straight-up obscure games, I'd say the Sonic Fairy-Tale games (Secret Rings and, Black Night) which nobody talks about...They're not very good and honestly, I enjoyed Sonic 06 more than Secret Rings.

Blue Dragon on the Xbox 360 which is pretty good but, not something that stuck with me.

Bully: Scholarship Edition. I love that game so much! It's like a Bart Simpson simulator.

Naval War: Arctic Circle. Its a sort of sim/RTS that goes for the hyper-realistic route. Set in about 2030, the ampaign is a future sort-of war between part of NATO and Russia, starting over fishing rights off the Norwegian coast and escalating as seabed mining and other stuff gets involved. Though, for once the US only comes into it near the end, with most of the fighting borne by Norway, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands and the UK, a somewhat eclectic mix up against Russia.

Its played mostly in a large screen that shows the North Sea from the coast around UK/Ireland stretching to Greenland. In real-time, it would take days to get across the map.
I'd describe it as fairly good, if not extraordinary. A very good control system marred by graphics from the late 1990s, as well as gameplay issues that you kind of have to play through to get. Still, its on Steam [http://store.steampowered.com/app/200050/] at half-price right now, a pretty good buy.

This.
That game was magnificent, but it seems to have just kind of been forgotten.
Besides that, uh... Not really any. Lost Odyssey seems like it didn't really make an impression, even though I loved that game.

I would say Star Trek Armada 2, an okay strategy game with excellent modding potential. The biggest community is for Fleet Ops and there a filefront page for it, but It has become pretty slow recently.

I've got Folklore, Okami (I think it's more underrated than obscure, though), and Hyperdimension Neptunia.

Between XBOX, Xbox360 and PC I've picked up a few well made well recieved titles that nobody seems to recall:

- Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason (PC)
- Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (PC / XBOX) [it does have a small cult following, nyuk nyuk]
- Section 8: Prejudice (360 XBLA)
- Commanders: Attack of the Genos (360 XBLA)
- Earth Defense Force (360)
- Vanquish (360)
- Battlezone 2: Commanders (PC)

I'm sure there's others, that's just off the top of my head.
Section 8: Prejudice rules, spent hours on that game. Apart from that, none really.
ya I loved that game but the population went to 0 after about a month

Super Brothers Sword and Sworcery

Probably one of my favorite artsy games ever. It really feel like playing through an old legend like Beowulf.

Custom Robo, it's a Gamecube game so it's last gen, but I have never ever seen anyone talk about it, to give you an idea of how much i loved it here's a story. When i bought my first console (a gamecube) I bought two games, super smash bros melee, and Custom Robo, I played Custom Robo way, way more.

Another obscure game i have is Anarchy Reigns, it's a multiplayer title from platinum that got screwed over in terms of advertisement and it's release in NA, but i think that it is amazing.

Well, there's Moon for the DS. It was actually a decent Doom-like game, that while giving your hand a cramp, had a cool control scheme. You would hold the DS like a gun with one hand and aim with the stylus in the other. It had atmosphere, but from what I remember the level design was bad. Also the story dropped half-way through. It's still an interesting game, and I recommend trying it out.


Then I have Enchanted Arms for the PS3. It's.....bad. I don't really know how to describe it other than that. It had some cool concepts, but had boring gameplay, and it started off really slow. How slow? I don't know if it ever picked up.

I picked that up when it went on sale for ridiculously cheap a couple months ago. I adore the aesthetic, though I never got far into it.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is probably the most well-liked game that people seem to have forgotten about. Though I didn't think it was that great.

Iron Brigade is fantastic, in fact, so are Stacking and Costume Quest. It seems odd that Double Fine got so much exposure for the Kickstarter success, yet their most recent indie games are barely talked about.

Well Resonance of Fate was already said, so, I'll say Lost Odyssey.

It is a rarity from this generation. A fairly ambitious, large budget( i only guess because of the advertising with a licensed song), JRPG as a 360 exclusive. Which is very rare when a JRPG is not a Final Fantasy game, and because of the people who worked on it, the original Final Fantasy director?, his name and position escape me, and Nobuo Uematsu's work on the music, make it a spiritual Final Fantasy game.

And it is really good, great story, Interesting "target ring" combat ( think Legend of Dragoon's attacks).

Also a 4 disc game, I think the only game that comes close is 360 L.A. Noire with 3 disc's.
I have lost odyssey for the 360 which is also 4 discs
