Great but extremely unknown/underrated games.

[Emphasis]

What are the games that you love, but would be completely unknown to anyone else? The games that you are sure no one else have heard of, but are just fantastic. The games that made me think of this topic are:

Metal Arms: Glitch In The System (Xbox) Extremely enjoyable gameplay and cutscenes, maybe be more wellknown then what I know..
Mark of Kri (Ps2) Amazing stealth, terrible graphics
Team Buddies (Ps1) ... Wiki this one.. serious fun
Dark Watch (Ps2) Spooky, but enjoyable

What are yours?

Psychonauts!!!!!!!!! Check this game out. It is funny and fun, and defiantly worth your time and money. I know it is available on PC (Through steam now i think) and PS2, possibly Xbox.

Cossacks and all the expansions. Actually I think they sold quite well but no one talks about them now, probably because they are quite old, but still great games.

Star Wars: Republic Commando (Xbox) seems dated now but then it was amazing and could be again if someone gave it a graphics overhaul and a new story.

Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy.

An absolutely brilliant game which (for the time) had amazing physics and one of the few games (ever) to create satisfying psychic powers.

Honestly, Metro 2033. It had a tiny bit of hype before it game out, but it seems to have passed under the radar on video-game websites/magazines from what I've seen.

OT: Has anyone said Psychonauts?
I'm going with Psychonauts.

It might be well known on the site, but not so much outside of it.

Really, does Psychonauts count anymore?

Same with the second game that came to mind for me: Beyond Good and Evil.

So I'm going to my third: Syberia. (If you like Adventure games and clockwork.)

Dark Watch was actually suprisingly good. I quite enjoyed that.
Kameo: Elements of Power, Jade Cocoon, Fear Effect 1 and 2, Bugs bunny lost in time (olly olly oxenfree), Colony Wars, Vandal Hearts II, Heart Of Darkness, Operation Winback, Ghost in the Shell: SAC.

Are they good? I heard GSC made them... I fucking love GSC... So are they worth getting and anything you can say about them?

They are RTS games with a good balance of strategy and base building set in the 17th and 18th centuries with upwards of 20 unique (literally unique, not just a different skin) nations. You can literally field thousands of units as there is no unit cap once you install the expansions, and even before the unit cap was 8000. It is in 2d but the graphic and detail are amazing.

Nope, that still counts, as it's just that awesome.

Also, I mention it at every passing turn, so you should og get it now.
