The Most Underrated Games of the Decade

[Enemy Of The State]

Oh gosh... well the most underrated I've played recently would be Singularity I guess...

Singularity gets my vote.

People, look it up and buy it now.

 

[Mike Laserbeam]

you start by having a year before you can say one year has passed, therefore year 0 does exist.

there, i compressed that train of thought as much as i could.

Sorry, I think one more time I'm going to go off topic, hopefully this will clear things up (doubt it will...).
There was never a Year 0. 1 AD followed immediately after 1 BC. Therefore the first year in this calendar was Year 1 and so I am right and you believe a myth

Spore: Okay, I know, they marketed it to kids after gettign us all exicted, and it wasn't an epic game, but it was amazing in scope and scale, it's editors are unmatched PERIOD outside of mods, and it has an entire GALAXY to explore.

Dark cloud 2/ dark chronicles

Sonic adventure 2 battle: everyone says all 3d sonic games suck, but this was one of the best sonic games EVER.

There are so many things you just said that make me feel queasy.

Suit yourself.

 

[SimuLord]

OK, you want to make it 2001-2010 for "the '00s". You're doing it wrong. But what the hell...

I'm going to cast my vote for Darkstar One. Even I didn't notice it until I got it as part of the Patricians and Merchants Pack on Steam (and then only because my old Patrician 3 disc install didn't work under Windows 7 because of a DLL file incompatibility baked into the original release.)

When even I miss a game in the trade-sim genre, that's saying something.

Army of Two - The weapon system is just awesome
Alan Wake - Very atmospheric and intriguing

We're in the second year of our current decade, 2010-2020. The last decade ended 367 days, 2 hours and 4 minutes ago (using British timezone).
[HEADING=2]2011 is not the start of a new decade.[/HEADING]
I'm sick of this swarm of "x game of the decade" threads like it's just ended. Ignorance really rubs me up the wrong way.
Sorry, and thank you.

Count the years. 2010, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. That's 11 years, not ten. A decade consists of 10 years. Something doesn't add up properly with your logic.

Well no, 2020 wouldn't be in that decade.
Therefore, it would be ten years.

Something doesn't add up int your braincells

 

[Anchupom]

I was always under the impression that decades started on a year ending in 1, the first decade being years 1-10. Thus, 2011-2020 would be the 202nd decade. But even assuming that you're correct that the decade began in 2010, wouldn't the last year of that decade be 2019, not 2020?

Yeah, 2019 would end with that decade, thats the general idea.

You specified 2010-2020 as a decade. This includes 2020 as part of the decade. I was only going by what you said.

I don't care how much I get flamed but FFX-2 I LOVED it, and everytime I turn it on I have to hear my brother whine about dress FF style blah blah blah, it was awesome and reminiscent of FF Tactics. (I don't just love it cause I'm a girl, so blow me)

In which case I apologise and rectify my statement - from 00:00 on the 1st of January 2010 to 23:59 (and 59 seconds) on the 31st of December 2019 is one decade.

Final Fantasy XIII.

It is so much better then what they say.

 

[TundraWolf]

Evil Genius does not get near enough love from the masses (though I have seen a handful of people mentioning in the past few days; props to those people)! I've yet to find another game that allows you to be a Bond villain, never mind one that pulls it off as well as Evil Genius. Love that game.

I enjoyed Run Like Hell for what it was. Not a good game, per sé, but an entertaining one. Also, one of the first games to feature blatant procuct placement (Bawls drinks were your health potions, basically). Which I find hilarious to no end.

I don't know if it counts, but Call of Duty: United Offensive went a little more under the radar compared to the original, and I enjoyed it way more than Call of Duty. Both were amazing, of course, but I enjoyed the expansion more. Better level design, I think.

In my personal opinion it was definitely Mirror's edge. In no way am I going to start calling it the best game evaaaar but I loved the idea of the game more than anything else. Its the story and world that I truly found to be interesting. While faith was a good protagonist, she wasn't what kept me coming back. And it saddens me that both dice and EA don't seem to have any intention on making aa sequel. I think it would be worth the time and effort. But what do I know. Im a fanboy >.<

 

[LordXel]

Eternal Darkness only because I worship that game.

 

[Ralen-Sharr]

CHROMEHOUNDS!

It was more than just the best mech-experience of the decade, oh no. That title gave pretty much the only mech-experience in the current console generation, and SEGA went and shut down the servers way before they should have. The single-player is god-awful, and it now serves as a $60 paper-weight at the bottom of my game shelf.

I'm jonesin' for a fix. @_@

After playing it a bit on a friend's console, I always felt that game had a place in PC gaming, but it never went there. Sometimes a good game released on the wrong platform can really bone things up.

I agree Evil genius is not given nearly as much love as it deserves. But if I had to pick a really good game not given enough mention it is Jade Empire. Yes it was short and had some problems but I think overall it was a pretty solid game that does not get as much attention as other bioware rpg's. deservers a sequel in my opinion.
