great but underapreceiated games

[Geressen]

share your thoughts about great games that sold badly or are generaly underapreceiated.

the marketing for Bulletstorm for example did not appeal to me at all but I bought it during a sale and it's a hell of an amusing killing ride.

Another one is psychonauts. It got hardly any marketing.
but the style and humour are amazingly fun.
It has some flaws on the PC sure ( I love punching minigame wich you have to beat to get the math is hard achievement)
And some of the collectibles are very hard to find on your own, but what is a game without a bit of a challenge?

Share your own, critisism is okay, but Please don't attack people for their tastes or oppinions.

underappreciated. generally. criticism. opinions.

I'm not going to bother correcting the other mistakes.

sorry hoor, ben moe. :P ( I am tired)

I was planning to go back and check later but obviously this is important to you, so I'll not do that.

thank you for your contribution.

I agree with Psychonauts. It's a great game, though it didn't get much publicity.

HI all nice group. Did u hear about the game Clave Baker's Jericho ? To my opinion it has awesome story and hellish dim ambiance. But unfortunatly, it had been sold badly,,

I think it is LOTR War on North,good hack'n slash RPG.

i disagree with bulletstorm just cause i go so bored a couple hours in, the trex broke things up a bit & i had fun with that but then it went back to generic gunplay & i just dropped it. The game played to much like any other shooter, the score system only carrys the game so far.
I will agree with psychonauts

Psychonauts. This game were... really not bad. I liked it. It wasn't really good, but really... over average?

Warlords Battlecry 1, 2, and 3.

[oH my goD thats the funky ship!]

PsyOps Mindgate conspiracy!!!!!!!!!!!!! i doubt anyone has heard of it, i played on my ps2 in the old days, incredible storyline with a ton of heartbreaking and incredible twists, by far holds a spot in my top five favorite game storylines. and the gameplay itself is fast paced fights using telekinesis, fire, mind control and lots of guns.....

Oh and another one i have to mention is Shadow of the colossus.....another one i played on the Ps2, but the graphics were intense and simply beautiful for its age...better visuals than alot of games now IMO, and the storyline is even better than PsyOps, you're trying to bring your fallen love back to life by fighting evil colossus monsters, but it almost feels sad when you defeat one, like you just killed a dog that was simply defending itself........anyone that hasent played it and can find a way to get a copy or use an emulator needs to play this game, one of the best games made IMO

Dungeon Defenders, there is some grinding to be had, and if you want to be a builder you need almost all characters, max level and geared. but once you have that it's really fun trying to figure out builds for maps. Caution: game can be really challenging, but for me that is part of its appeal. summary: it's a tower defense game, the best stuff drops in a survival wave based mode that can go up to 35 waves, you can be a builder or dps, dps are not that useful except for campaign missions and some others. PS: There are a lot of different game modes to have fun with for the less hardcore players. I love the challenge of trying to figure out a build that is so good that it will last on it's own, to do this on Nightmare mode takes a lot of gear and a really good build, and even then you might need to repair once or twice halfway through. the graphics are good, but the art style seems more suited for little kids haha, which really discouraged me from the game, and actually i didn't buy the game. I won the game during the winter sales, but after playing it, i have since bought some of the DLC's. which brings up another thing, if you want to be a builder, you need some of the DLC characters, Series EV, and Summoner, and the "lost shards" DLC's contain maps that have the best loot, without them you can only get approximately a max stat of like 1,500 but with the DLC you can get armor that gives you 3.5-4k. for example my squire builder has about 2,000 tower health, speed and range, but has 3.9k tower dmg. if you do get into this game and start getting stats, pay attention to your towers dps, different classes have different soft caps on stats, the exact numbers aren't really known. anyways that is my 50 cents on a game that i enjoy immensely, but it's gametype is not for everyone. i seriously have almost 2,000 hours into this game, one final note is that if you have a really good pc, you can do a survival run and have other people upgrade and repair stuff while you play crysis :), but good luck doing that...you'll need good stats, a good build, and most importantly people that don't AFK. one problem with the game that i didn't mention is very few people have put in the time to become a great builder, so there are plenty of noobs that want gear, and very few well geared players to help them out, most of the time the builders solo and bring in 3 other characters with a script file...so they can get 4 pets a run, and to make sure that they get all the supreme and ultimate armor. Anyways if you read all that, i salute you.

Residen Evil: Operation Raccoon City is a good game in my opnion, I have the PS3 version of the game, I don't see a lot of things the critics says about it, it's an action game as the producers told, I just blame the critics, because they wanted an horror/survival/puzzle and the game is pure action... Another good game is Alpha Protocol, but it's mistake was... be made by SEGA, critics DON'T LIKE SEGA...

Really? Mirror's Edge didn't give me motion sickness, but Half-Life 2 sometimes did...
