Your avatar is awesome, by the way.

The Darkness is about at "cult classic" popularity, right? If it's not a famous game: The Darkness! The actual gameplay is sort of repetitive, but the powers are cool and the story, characters, and music make up for its flaws.

one thing tunred me off of the darkness and that is that you can mess up the story and have no way to continue the devs must have been huffing extra hard when they decided to not even put in a failsafe or even just block guns during that part og the game

What, really? Can you shoot Jenny during her little birthday surprise or something? Ha, that's kind of funny. I wouldn't dismiss a game because it lets you do something like that, but I wouldn't blame you if you decided to stop playing because the combat lacks variety, since it consists of destroying lights and killing the same type of enemy pretty much through the whole game.

realy early on when you have to go to the avidence locker and the guy at the door starts talking to you i capped his little ass and found out that i was buggered if i wanted to play the game

I think Nier is fantastic...and I'm only 4 hours in.

I hope you're playing on Hard mode.

What's your favorite um... magic power thing?

EDIT: oh, right... my vote goes for Jade Cocoon

Dark Cloud (though I am unsure of its popularity at release) and Jade Emppire, fun fun fun awesome fun.

I think The Operative: No One Lives Forever (2000) counts as unfairly ignored. It's a cult classic, received excellent reviews (metacritic 91/100), and I don't think I've ever talked to anyone who's played it through and didn't like it. Yet despite all of this, so few people seem to have heard of it. This makes me sad because I personally think it's one of the best first person shooters and also one of the funniest games I've ever played.

Yes, that is a shootout with evil henchmen while freefalling at 20,000 ft.

I loved this game and its sequel. I would definitely play NOLF 3.

Battle Engine Aquila. Totally underrated, it's worth it and super fun.

As previously mentioned, the Etrian Odyssey series. With all threads (falsely) asserting about how JRPGs aren't RPGs, it's good to have a game that stays close to the origins of RPG video games like Rogue and Wizadry. Hope the rumored Atlus 3DS title they're working on is EO4.

Also, the Harvest Moon series, namely the Rune Factory sub-series. Farming, dungeon exploring, romantic options. Hope that RF Oceans is released in the US on the Wii.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto, the first game to have jetpacks

Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga. Unlike Dragon Age, it actually lives up to the 'Dragon' bit

 

[Tib088]

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. One of the few star wars games that don't revolve around Jedi and Sith, instead, it's about the Bounty Hunters and their 'hunt'. I swear that game was underrated, it deserved much more praise.

I agree, it was one of my fav games on the PS2

What is that I don't even....

'Look at you wearing no makeup and eating a steak for lunch'

FOR SHAME.

Somehow the monotone voice acting just makes it worse.

I'd say Magicka, It's an awesome game with an amazing control system it should get alot more attention than it does.​

3D Dot Game Heros is great, I think it is just as much of a "must have" as LBP.

 

[TheFinalFantasyWolf]

I think Nier is fantastic...and I'm only 4 hours in.

Same here. I only just started playing it a few days ago, and I already love Weiss.

*Ahem* er, I mean Grimoire Weiss.

>.>

<.<

LOL sorry for jumping in like this but how's the combat in Nier? I was considering buying it once but after I saw the chick (or guy....according to the japanese version) wearing a thong, and negligee I kinda wrote it off as a game just trying to grab attention with bouncy boobs.

However I came across it again and now I'm tempted to get it. Is it actually good, story and combat wise?

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

I thought that The Saboteur was a underapreciated game
It had a few problems and was unpolished, but it was also very bug free.
The voice acting was not great, but in a way, was funny.
It was a decent game in my mind, but very few people I know played it.
Also on the plus side, you can choose a way to do most misions, and despite what Yhatzee says, Running and Gunning does work for some.

 

[Lullabye]

The populous series.
Thankfully Project Dust is in the works. am soooo getting it.

It's awesome, huh! XP

Off-topic: how come you're Jessica in the forum, but your name is Charlie? Just curious. I'm weird like that, lol.​

Let see-

Gotcha Force
Infinite Space
Okami (Ok, it's somewhat popular now due to Okamiden but when it was first release on the PS2, hardly anyone bought it dispite getting good reviews.)
Phantom Crash
Hotel Dusk:Room 215

 

[gibboss28]

Psychonauts.

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.

thank you for this post i was just thinking of one game

Shadow Of Rome

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6pM5_Y9ibw&hd=1

this game is gory and bloody as hell but it was entertaining and it had tow gameplay styles high octane action and unnerving stealth, it was scrubbed by Capcom for not selling much.
