They have actually said they're working on a sequel, I believe. Yay!

-is getting a true sequel.
-sold over million in digital copies.
It's not a true sequel; rather, it's an inexpensive spin-off that doesn't continue the story.

EDIT: Apparently, Alan Wake's American Nightmare (the spin-off) is not the only Alan Wake game in the works. The sequel is "definitely coming".

Battlezone (and 2) on the pc, fighting on the moon in the late 90s was sublime.
Psychonauts, never got the recognition it deserved.
Full throttle - old skool point and click action.
Bully - first game to do something worthwhile with the wii.
Freespace 2 - the final hallejujah of the space combat simulator, xwing, tie fighter you are still missed.
Samba de Amigo on the dreamcast, the cost of it kept it from the mainstream.
The punisher - garth ennis inspired mayhem.
Eternal darkness.
Death tanx, the dreamcast, 7 player original is still best, the 360 version a worthy successor.

If anyone is a fan of the original battlezone one of the original creators is still updating the game and releasing it with updates for windows 7. Love it.

Just gonna repeat myself here. Everyone needs to play Gothic 1 and 2 on the PC! They're some of the best role playing games out there and yet they seem to be only popular within Germany/Eastern Europe.

Gothic
Spellforce: Platinum Edition
Spellforce 2
Spellforce 2: Dragon Storm
Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns
Hegemonia
Rage of Mages 1-2
Medieval Conquest
Harbinger

Edit: Hah! Razor, didn't even see your post until I put mine up. The Gothic series is awesome. I know 3 got dissed hard, but install CP 1.74 and it's very playable.

Gladius

It was available on all 3 of last gen's consoles but had the misfortune of coming out at the end of a slew of greco-roman games, all of which sucked except for God of War. So no one paid attention to it at the time.

Little Big Adventure 2. Why does NOBODY ever mention that brilliant game? It's as if it didn't exist at all, and I only dreamed of it!
Amg!! Someone else who has played this game!!!

This guy is 100% right, go go find and buy it.

I've replayed this game like 5 times just for the music alone!

Also there is the first one but I was too young to remember it but I would still recommend it
GOG just had both the LBA games on sale this weekend. Anyways GOG has it for those curious about it.

Haunting Ground? I'm not sure how underrated it really is, but I rarely ever hear anything about it, and I thought it was a great game.

I am not sure if these games have been mentioned already but

Rayman Origins (current gen)- very underated and I am sad that it is flailing.

Shin Megami Tensi games that arent Persona (Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga, and Devil Summoner)- very intense rpg's with emphasis on collecting and using monsters.

The Red Star (PS2)- An actual good beat-em up based on a comic book. Very short and came in under the radar since it had publisher issues.

Radiant Historia (DS)- FINALLY another good time travelling RPG

Shadow Hearts Series (PS2) - One of the most underrated rpg series in my opinion. They tended to get overshadowed by Final Fantasy releases in the same year.

Blood Will Tell (PS2)- Hack n Slash action game that revolves on getting back your body parts. The only part I disliked was the annoying sidekick sections.

Psi-ops (PS2)- I had so much fun with this game, I am surprised it never got a sequel. While there are games that have shooting and psychic powers, there arent many games that have this same feel.....besides using corpses as telepathic surfboards was always fun

Freespace 2. The game that represents both the apex and the end of an era...

Drakengard- Ok, this is, in most respects not exactly a good game. The combat, while workable, is rather boring and the environments grow rather stale after a while. BUT, simply for the fact it took what every J-RPG did at the time and still do and completely did the absolute opposite to create, arguably, the most depressing and dark game ever created. I think it should be one of those games people should atleast play through once, especially if someones tired of some of the more typical J-RPG's. But, avoid the sequel like the plague and simply get Nier instead.

Medievils already been said, so i won't bother pointing that one out

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
Wacky Races (PS2)

Even though it is a popular game with a cult following I have made a pledge to myself to spread the word of Fallout 3.

Why bother? I keep naming them but you never play them - Little King's Story (Wii) and Lock's Quest (DS). Someone please tell me they got around to playing them. Someone?... Anyone?....

Oh well, I guess I'll just wait for the next thread like this and keep posting into the abyss.

Abe's Odyssey
Abe's Exodus
Hell yes. I can't believe I forgot to add these gems to my list. Abe's Odyssey was one of my favorite PS1 games. I feel like the entire Legacy of Kain series should be on this list as well.

In reference to another post, I always thought Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow were the most overrated Castlevania handhelds. What about Circle of the Moon?
