Your favorite underrated games.
Bloodfox:
Hey guys. I wanted share my favorite underrated games with you and see what games are out there that I might have overlooked that deserve looking into.
3) Just Cause 2 - The game might have a ridiculous story but it suck me in for weeks. The story is just an excuse to blow stuff up, the dialog is real bad and the voice acting is laughable... but goddamn does the gameplay makes up for it! The main character has a grappling hook that can catapult you anywhere and infinite parachutes, creating a very mobile character and very interesting and fresh gameplay. The game takes place in a fictional archipelago nation called Panau which is huge. The game looks amazing on the PS3 but its even more breathtaking on a high-end PC. Its dirt cheap on steam and you can find it real cheap for PS3/Xbox360 nowadays. Really worth a look, specially for lovers of open-world games.
2) Darksiders - I loved Darksiders, the game does have some gameplay issues but they don't distract from an overall great experience. The game world is vibrant and varied with art direction by legendary comic book penciler Joe Madureira that gives the characters a very distinct stylized look. The story is great and the voice acting is stellar with Mark Hamill on a supporting role and that bloke what played Illidan in World of Borecraft playing the main character. When I finished the game I remembering hoping this it to became a franchise and I got my wish when Darksiders 2 was announced. I still don't forgive Joe Mad for not finishing Battle Chasers, that C...
1) Silver - Many of you wont remember this game, it passed unnoticed when it came out, it was a fully voice acted PC RPG, which was impressive for the year it came out, 1999. The game might lack the depth and length of classic PC RPGs like Baldur's Gate, but it made up for it in innovative gameplay and by sucking you in with one of the most amazing game soundtracks ever. Instead of being a traditional point and click hack'n'slash,you use your mouse to move but when you press control, your mouse movements are translated into swings, for me the gameplay was more satisfying than thee loot mechanic of Diablo 2 and that's saying a lot. The game was ported to dreamcast and It doesnt run on modern OSs (it ran on Win95/98). I'm hopping for the day GOG.com adds this game to their catalog because thats the day I'm finally gonna justify creating a GOG account.
How about you guys? Any hidden gems?

3. Dead Space + Dead Space 2. Survival horror done right.
2. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. By far the best spy/sneaking game ever. I have so much fun picking off baddies one by one and seeing their friends get all scared.
1. Star Wars: Galactic Battleground + Clone Campaigns. By far one of the coolest RTS's even til today. It's just based on Age of Empires II, but it has all Star Wars factions and units. There are the freakin wookies for pete's sake!

I think you've got something backwards here. At first, I thought I might be drunk (not that I'm not). Then I remembered that there are no wookies in Dead Space.

OMG, I Ctrl-x the first and third one cause I thought SW: GB was a lot more underrated than Dead Space
fohfoh:
Dark Reign. I know everyone went bonkers for Star Craft, but I really loved playing Dark Reign. Sure, some people might think the balancing was borked, but it was fun.
