Rise Of Legends, a great game, it had a good concept and a good story.
It introduse me to steampunk, and the Vinci are now my idea of good steampunk story!!
I would love too see a sequal or iven an expansion of its universe!
But alas that is not goin to hapen...

Think I'll second this opinion.zombiejoe said:
I bought the game, despite harsh critique against it, since I think the concept of RPG mixed with shooters are just awesome. The game turned out the be amazing from beginning to end and one of my favorite games. The only thing that really ruins it are the hacking mini-games.
It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't timed though. On Easy difficulty I can get past them all... but the computer hacking mini-game makes my head hurt!
Mirror's Edge
The game was absolutely stunning to look at doing parkour across the city was a blast. I never really had a problem with getting stuck on objects or not knowing when to jump due to not being able to see my feet like other reviewers complained about
It was a shame that a lot of the game had you confined to indoors though, and at certain parts playing without a gun was quite difficult but a sequel could fix these things (i dont think you should even be able to use guns in the first place, really)
EDIT: also
Sonic Adventure 2: Battle
This is how Sonic in 3D should be done. It had good variety, a sense of speed in the sonic/shadow levels, challenge, great soundtrack and of course the fucking Chao Garden <3
Super Mario Sunshine
I would argue the best 3D Mario game. Its inclusion of watergun-based puzzles and challenges was extremely innovative and fun. The problem was, it tried to re-invent 3D platforming at at time when it was still fairly new and fresh; it was before its time
Shadow the Hedgehog
People complained about its shallow attempt at making the series edgy and while I agree that guns were a silly addition, I think it was pretty good. I am a HUGE fan of back/origin stories and it was fun learning about one of my favourite characters. It was a bit difficult at times, but the 10 different endings (not to mention all the different paths you could take to achieve them) added loads of replay value.
To be fair, these last 3 were games I grew up with so I might be a bit biased, but years later I am still able to get a lot of entertainment from them
Also yes, I did have a GameCube, how did you know?

Yes, I do notice a pattern, being that you make spelling mistakes in two titles there. Also, Planescape Torment and Baldurs gate 1 and 2 get praise everywhere as being some of the best RPG's ever, if not THE best RPG's ever. So it's quite silly to specify those as being "underrated".Aku_San said:
My choice: Postal 2.
KOTOR 2, Knights of the Old Republic fans love to shit on it, but I thought it was better than the first.
To be fair, it is more of an "experience" than a great game. The game is a tribute to Edgar Allen Poe, and not only tells an interesting tale worthy of his style and heritage - it contains 5 Poe stories lovingly rendered; and 3 of them are playable, both from the perspective of the killer and the victim. I am highly claustrophobic - and let's just say navigating the musty Catacombs, only to find myself being bricked in by a creepy clay-man was not a pleasant feeling. The stories you can play are Berenice, The cask of Amontillado and The Telltale Heart. However, there are readings of "Annabelle Lee" and "The Masque of the Red Death" as read by William S. Burroughs.
I love this game - it freaks me out, and those clay-people just double the creepy factor. See for yourself.
... You get the point.
Mount and Blade was an awesome game but it received a large amount of criticism due to its poor graphics but I loved that game... and i hate RPGs.
Yeah, people have a tendency to crap all over Nuts and Bolts for some reason and I really had a great time with that one. I guess because it was different and the "game" part of it wasn't as important as the building / experimenting part. I always feel like when people bad mouth it, it's because they didn't have enough patience to mod, design, and test their own vehicles properly, which was the whole point. It really has fantastic graphics, too, and I haven't seen a modern game use color quite so well. It's probably the most fun I've had with a 360 exclusive title. There were lots of weird little side quests, tie-ins with other games, and a goofy sense of humor. It reminded me of a better Dead Rising, where beating it involves using the tools it gives you to cheat/trick the AI. Makes you feel clever and sneaky, when really it was what you were supposed to do all along.zepher171 said:
Impossible Creatures it really opens up your creative side for an RTS plus shark-gorillas are frickin' awesome!
And Psychonauts, admittadly I never finished it (damn you meat circus!) but it's a great game
I second the Icewind Dale games too
and Heart of Darkness and Blackthorne both old, super-hard and made of win

I love NCAA, NBA, and NFL games, but then I'm a big sports fan. Hardly surprising seeing how this is a site for nerds who scoff at sports game for no other reason than, "Those are probably what the popular kids at school play." I haven't played it. Did it really change that much? 2K10 had virtually no changes from 2K9 so I didn't get 2K11.Radeonx said:

Bayonetta
Beyond Good and Evil
Metro 2033
Heres an obscure one for ya: Pathologic. Anyone know about that game? It's a Russian rpg were you probably will sell you're weapons for food. Name me another game that is designed like that?
Did i mention it had a great atmosphere and an interesting and quite creepy story? to bad that the gameplay and graphics were bad and that the English translation were downright terrible.
