Games considered "Cult Classics"

Well if Freelancer gets a mention then I'm throwing Starlancer into the ring.

Also Syberia and it's sequel.

If you've heard of this game, you are awesome and should change your name to Alexander.

Alan Wake will be in a few years. Dunno why no one has played/bought it. One of the best and unique gaming experiences I've had in a while...

oh god NO! I was pretty pumped for that one and wow wow WOW I couldnt finish the 4th chapter. Couldnt care less about the characters and holy hell if they take my guns one more fucking time i swear i'll turn it off and never play it again...and.......AND.....off it goes.

Um, I'd throw Thief in. It still has a pretty dedicated fanbase but isn't that popular.

Honestly, I'm actually getting pretty tired of hearing about System Shock 2... you know, I had never even heard of it until BioShock. Now I hear about it constantly... it's becoming a Psychonauts where it's constantly called "underrated" so many times that it becomes overrated...

I don't think I have ever hear or seen anyone calling System Shock 1 or 2 "underrated". I have heard people calling it the best Survival Horror game (which it could be), an absolute classic (undoubtedly), and having the best villain (absolutely). Everyone loved it, no-one bought it. I came too it three years too late.

OT Freedom Force. I don't think it sold all that well, but it is a great little game. Sort of a Company of Heroes for Superheroes.

Oh man, Penumbra, that game was amazing, especially Requiem!
