Yeah, the DC labels are Vertigo and Wildstorm. Vertigo is their mature reader's line. Wildstorm and Top Cow both came out of the creation of Image in the early 90s. But, as far as I know, Top Cow is still a part of Image.Firia said:I was all ready to contest your "edit," and looked into it. Turns out, you're right. Must have been the batman/Darkness cross over that confused me. I thought Top Cow was a part of DC comics.Starke said:
As for The Darkness, it's not a bad comic, just, underwhelming. There's a lot of potential in the comic and the character, but, I've yet to see anyone do anything really interesting with Jackie. Hell, the first arc in the comic was written by Garth Ennis, who apparently got so bored looking at the concept for the series that all he could come up with was taking chunks from characters in Preacher and mashing them together awkwardly. (I know that timeline's backwards, but still.)
nobody has ever played Phantom Crash, an original xbox title. it's a mech game that puts others like mechassault, chromehounds, and even steel battalion to shame.
it's frenetic, fast-paced, and offers nigh-unlimited customization and upgrade options. it was also quirky, in the lovable japanese sort of way, and was extremely deep.
it has a sequel on the PS2 called S.L.A.I. i can guarantee you won't find a copy of PC, but you might find a copy of S.L.A.I. in a bargain bin somewhere.
also, it had the best-rendered intro scene of any game i have ever seen, last generation or current, bar none. it looked freakin real.

Oh my god, I spent so many hours on this thing it wasn't even funny, I'm sorry but this was simply the greatest starwars game in the last 10-12 years, the entired combat and squad mechanic was done so well its insane. Not to mention that when you got bored of the campaign which took me at least 30 hours this was your outlet, combat was fast paced and the enviornments were simply amazing, does anyone remember the fight in the republic cruiser with the zero G area?JackB said:
Great game, at first when I saw this I was a bit skeptical but now I still pick up my old copy of it on the PS2 and play it, the game was stunning and fluid with an amazing story mixed in that you don't often ever see done well, I salute you Okami Ameterasu.Thaius said:
Plus she just looks bad ass in her final form with all her powers!
Tribes is freeware, but as freeware few people know about it and GarageGames isn't making any money off of it. By putting it on steam for $9.99 downloads they would turn a modest profit and introduce a lot more people to the game.tsb247 said:
But you're right, if they're going to go Steam, Tribes 2 at $14.99 would make a killing, especially if they marketed it right and picked some good screenshots.
I pitched this to Ubisoft, that a Remake of Shadowbane with Instanced missions and modern graphics and anti-hacker protections would really do well. The only reason Shadowbane fell is because of it's age/dated graphics and because they didn't know how to prevent hacking in MMO's back then.Gabes said:
i really liked star wars bounty hunter...
you got to be jango fett (boba fett by any other name, with wild west style pistols)...
i also have way too many hours of Dynasty Warriors... i have played 2, own 3, 4, empires, and the psp version 2. and on the psp version i'm two characters short of owning every outfit.
also - Gan Ning. he rocks.

There's always one person who makes a massive list. That said, from reviews and what I've heard (I've never played any of the items on this list [my loss for being so young, I guess]), Chrono Trigger isn't so much underrated as underapreciated. Also, the Fallout series is underrated? I never got that impression they were. Granted you are talking about the older games, so you probably have a point there. (on a se related note, Fallout has been on my hard drive for hard drive for a while now and I still haven't got aroud to playing it.)Valentine82 said:
OT: I haven't heard many people showing the love for Psychonauts or No More Heroes. Those aren't really underrated, but the sort of critic's darlings that get great review but don't do so well commerically. I also feel a lack of love for LoZ Majora's Mask too.
EDIT: I totally forgot these;Tales of Symphonia, Banjo-Kazooie (the whole series really) and PaperMario 2. No one ever mentions the games, but they were amazing.
I'm going to say the Witcher. Its an awesome RPG with hours of fun immersive gameolay. I also think they captured the essence of Geralt and some of the other characters and the General Witcher world really well.
Of course, i only know one other person that agrees with me on this. Everyone else i know who has played it thought it sucked. Then again, by everyone else i mean two other people XD

These aren't underated, they're underplayed. Okami/Beyond Good and Evil/Psychonauts/Eternal Darkness have become cult figures due to their quality.Thaius said:
I'm going to second Stranger's Wrath and Panzer Dragoon Orta. Wrath was a fantastic hybrid game, the weapons were inventive, they handled nicely, and the plot was surprisingly badass once it got going. Orta gets a special place in my heart just for the fantastic quality of the music and it's gibberish language. The graphics have also held up pretty well for an XBox launch title, mostly because the majority of the screen quickly gets filled by pretty pretty lights.
And what joker listed Shadows of Amn? It's Baldur's Gate! BioWare! One of the most critically acclaimed games of all time. The series that DEFINED western RPGS. Saying it's underrated implies that there's a significant population that consider it less than the absolute masterpiece that it is.
