Parasite Eve 2. (I barely played the first one).
I think it is the perfect mix of Resident Evil and an RPG. (It's by Square).
It's not really a survial horror because the main character can heal herself and is usually near an ammo supply point. That said on the harder modes (Bounty, Scavenger, Nightmare) it becomes harder to survive and you have to get creative with your powers and items to find enemy weaks spots. Great game design if you ask me.
It's a bit like Marmite tho... some people hate it. What do you guys think?

Enemy Territory Quake Wars, Purely a Multiplayer game that absolutely shits on the COD games, yet was never very successful because suprise suprise it was published by Acitvision at the exact same time as COD 4 so no one even knew it exists.
Awsome game trailer

You people need to play some Rise of Nations and its expansion, Thrones and Patriots. There's nothing like building the Terra Cotta Army wonder and having Infantry appearing every 30 seconds or 1 minute. Oh and nuking a city.
I see your Rise of Nations (which was a great game) and raise you a "Rise of Legends" Lots of people were turned off because of the fantasy bent, but I really enjoyed it.MeltedGeneral said:
Seriously guys, we can't keep calling Psychonauts and Beyond Good and Evil 'underrated' anymore because they've become so well known now. Sure they didn't sell as well as they should have on their release dates, and that's a real shame, but they have much more support now than they used to.
Underrated games would consist of a game that was pretty fun to play, but not a lot of people heard about it.

True, Psychonauts and BG&E are infact more popular now than they were yesteryear, but the fact that I still keep finding gamers (who consider themselves experts on the subject) that have not played or heard of either game still makes them in some small way underappreciated.

@The Real Sandman:
Most of those games got high scores, but no one played them. What the hell's wrong with people?
But TimeSplitters, Viewtiful Joe, Dead Rising and F-Zero GX sold pretty well and got good scores.
Prototype was over-hyped and got 'meh' reviews from critics, but it still sold. Metro 2033 is underrated for sure, so is Killer 7.
Okami is in the underrated list along with Psychonauts, meaning EVERYONE thinks it's underrated, meaning that it's known and respected.
Paper Mario did well, too. So did Bully (Greatest hits, high scores, high profile release)

Alex HAS to be in the next Street Fighter game, he was too cool to just drop like that. Q was great, too. Great moves and great character design. 12 was alright, a bit hard to use.DominoSmith said:
Why did capcom drop the insanely fast pace from Street Fighter 3? What? Was it too fast for the Street Fighter 2 fanboys? Street fighter IV is ok, but it's only a few clicks above Street Fighter 2's speed and worlds below Street Fighter 3's speed.
I think Lost Planet needs more love. Sure the controls sucked a bit, but the game itself was great! Really challenging, fast paced and it had giant alien bosses AND Mechs! Halo's got NOTHING on that.
Definitely Big Rigs, Over the Road Racing.
I mean, it's pure genius, but for some reason people don't play it.
