Okami, God Hand, I-ninja, Killer7, No more Heroes, and psychonauts.
I can't think of any more at the moment.

I agree, that game was kickass, and did you know that if you stood still long enough, glitch farted, and a puff of green smoke comes from where his ass would be.the monopoly guy post=9.70171.682729 said:
And I agree with deleted, killswitch was badass. And in my opinion, a game that was also overlooked, SSX: on tour, SSX3 and the original SSX, those games were pretty good snowboarding games, in on tour you create your character and work your way up to become a pro, in SSX3, you make rivalries with other pros and race them for more spots to race, and in the original, it was a new concept and it was a launch title for the ps2, i loved the series from the beginning, i don't know about anyone else.
Also, i think i'm pretty much the only one who owns predator:concrete jungle, which was the best game for ps2 ever, besides god of war.
I would have to say 'Run like Hell' for the PS2, its story was kinda half done but the characters were likeable and gave you a good enough reason to keep going through it, that and the combat was actually functional and fun (which is unique for a horror game).
Another one would have to be Splatterhouse for the Sega Megadrive, it was hard but it was bright and colorful while still being grusome and abstract, that and I've got to add a point for having creative and origonal monsters (bloody aborted fetuses and a dude with chainsaws for hands?...woah). If anyone from Namco is reading this...make a number 4 instead of yet another Tekken.

Okay, I fail to see how any of those games were "Games wrongly ignored"Gahars post=9.70171.682615 said:
You see, pretty much each and every one of those games were given high scores, and the people who bought them loved them and raved about them saying "It gives you a whole 'nother experience!" "It's such a unique game!" "I've never played anything like it before!".
With all these people going around saying the same "underappreciated gems" for games in these types of threads, how the hell are these games "underappreciated"? We all keep talking about them! They weren't ignored, they just didn't sell as amazingly as the other mainstreame games!
If you want an underappreciated gem go find a completely random game that no one has ever heard of or a game that has not aged well in time. Like Ray-man for the PSX, I loved that game even though I've never beaten it, with gorgeous visuals for an old system (I wish I had my PS1 now...).
But I guess I can't stop all of these people from listing these "underappreciated gems" that apparantly no one has ever heard of. Okay, now i'm just being bitter...
I've always thought that Heroes of Might and Magic V (and the entire series in general) are very great games that have a lot of staying power with their campaigns and unique lengthy single player maps that all have their own unique plots. It really should be well known and is a master of its genre - turn based strategy. In fact the only reason I known of it is because I'm such a strategy nut.
Psychonauts, Killer7 and Okami were hardly what you could call ignored.
The press and those of us who take are gaming seriously are more than aware of said games. However, on the other side of the argument some of the games mentioned have been given very good scores but haven't had the hype, advetising or media coverage or been able to ride on the coat tails of a Star Wars to warrant a sustained interest and build a fanbase.
Although, Strangers Wrath goes against all of that and still failed to grab the more casual / teen market. And that was one of the best games I've played.

Tales Of Symphonia, for Gamecube. That was a remarkable JRPG with a much more admirable form of Real-Time combat as opposed to Turn-Based, and I think it should have gotten a lot more recognition. Over in Japan, the Tales series of games is as big as Final Fantasy.
Sonic? Splatterhouse?
How do those count as being overlooked? They were the selling points of their respective systems - Genesis and TurboGrafx. And because someone will bring it up, yes, I know that Splatterhouse was also on the Genesis, but the Turbo was its main home.
As for my own picks, God Hand and Gitaroo Man on the PS2 are pretty high on the list.

Shadowrun. That game deserves better treatment. Many of the problems with it would have been fixed in a patch, but Microsoft shut them down.
And as stated about, Symphonia was very underlooked, in the same why that noone is talking about Vesperia. I am hammered on it right now. Have not even touched any other game in the last 4 days.

I have that on the PS2 and what with the wooly handling and repetive missions it got dull quick.VanWOW0 post=9.70171.682870 said:
Do you know if the handling is any better on the XBOX?
They only made 3 games and one of them was quite awful (Temple of Elemental Evil). There's being loyal to D&D and then there's being a tad too loyal. Eugh.poleboy post=9.70171.683056 said:
I'm going to say...Journey of Silius on the NES. Nobody seems to know about it, even though it's better than any other platformer on the system. Yes, that also means better than Mario and Megaman. Fools.
I have two.
1)Evil Genuis(pc):This was an awesome bond enemy sim and surprisingly it was genuinly funny.
2)Mashed (fully loaded)(ps2):awesome combat racing game where you can really piss your freinds off by by blowing up their cars with the over powered shotgun weapon.
