Unreal 1: No one seems to have any time for it.

Conversely: Can't understand they hype/love behind half life 1.

Halo 3: ODST
Out of all the Halo games I've played, ODST is the only one I can truly say I loved. Hell, I even consider it to be my absolute favorite Halo game, thus I find it a massive shame that most Halo fans consider ODST to be crap.

I love Unreal. That made me so mad they ruined Unreal 2.

But on topic: Sonic 3D Blast. It's...really a bad game, but I can't help but play it and have fun anyway :[

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
Mirror's Edge

OT: Crackdown, I suppose. I thought it was way more fun than any GTA, but apparently people don't like having super-human strength, speed, and lots of explosives. Meh.
I love Crackdown; it's so good I actually bought a 360 to play it.

Alpha Protocol for me. The stealth gameplay was actually quite fun and reminiscent of the Hitman series for me, though I won't defend it as a shooter. The story and your ability to actually change it was impressive, far better then how Bioware did it in Dragon Age or Mass Effect.

Chrono Cross... Don't ask, I just loved it. Also, wtf is up with all the haters for Legend of Dragoon? If that game were overhauled in the right way, it'd still be an amazing game (despite the cliches).

^Is what I like to see. The sequel comes out tomorrow, and I am happy to say I pre-ordered that shit. Never did play Mirror's Edge, but the idea of a first person platformer never really appealed to me.

Thank you, you just got me to buy that game. I've been really interested about it for a long time, but having heard no positive comment of it made me very suspicious about the content. I just needed someone to say something positive about it.

I can't really think of games that EVERYONE but me hated, but I can think of games that some groups of people hate. For instance Halo and Gears of War. They are getting a lot of hate from many places and praise from 9-year-olds and critics. Since I'm not nine years old or a critic, I find myself a bit of an outsider liking them.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/experienced-points/7760-Experienced-Points-Alpha-Overhaul This article makes the point on it's story far more eloquently then I, since you are interested in comments about the game. It is what convinced me it was worth trying.

Back on topic: Zelda Windwaker still get's a lotta hate with the current unfavorable comparisions of skyward sword to it, but I never had any problems with it or it's artstyle.

FF13 and Orange Box (PS3) are the ones that seem to be most hated
It saddens me that people hate on the console versions of TF2. Despite the obvious bugs/connections issues, they are not necessarily worse than the PC version, they're just different. Hell they're damn closer to actual Team Fortress than the PC version. Whatever, I don't play either versions anymore.

How they have not remade this game with the UT3 engine is beyond me.

Also, I agree with this.

Unreal 2, was, it is true, made of fail and lose (although some of the defense levels - alright one, on Sulpheron - was awesome (if not long enough)).

Yes, and YES. LoD is probably my favorite PSX game ever. I keep hearing about a potential sequel from Sony but it NEVER HAPPENS. Those guys either need to make it or stop getting my hopes up. Oh, also to add my own title, SaGa Frontier. The game wasn't even completed before release, and I still love it for some reason. Also agree with FF8.

Roadkill on the PS2.
Only discovered it recently and as shite as it is, it's gory, sweary, violent fun.
