after playing freedom fighters i thought of all the games that have been kneecapped by widely promoted games or spent all their money on development and not promoting the game itself. for example freedom fighters is one of the best tactical team games i have played but i guess that depends on your point of view. instead of getting a small amount of teammates on multiplayer you get eight so it gives you a large chance to create new tactics to screw with your enemy. it gives you bunkers to respawn your team. its also very simple, you only have three commands and you can just point with your gun to where you want them to go. they were going to make a sequel for it until they started to make kane & lynch.

Red Steel was an awesome game. It was like a modern side-scroller except better. It was done, but then the company died and noone picked it up. It made me sad D8

One I started, I just couldn't put down the Suikoden series. I bought III, IV, and V and played them all strait through. I just can't find the first two. It's a great RPG series for anyone interested.

Arcanum, That game just rocked. It never even hit the top 500 :(

Psychonauts. You'd be hard pressed to find a funnier game that was so well made.

Arcanum was definitely a game that didn't get the recognition it deserved.

Breakdown, on the old xbox. I thought this game was amazing. Winback: Covert Operations on the n64 was a good one, too. OH! AND GODHAND! I loved godhand on the ps2.

godhand? It's a game? :shock: Wow.

Anyway, Fallout, fallout 2, and fallout tactics.

godhand sounds interesting i just cant get my hands on it. besides how can people not like kicking gorillas into the stratosphere.

yeah. The game gets hard sometimes though, but its still really fun, and its hilarious too. If you get it, you'll find out what Im talking about, like the first time you use the dragon kick. And you have to love a game with a super move called the ballbuster

I go way back on the SNES that well... None of the games got good recognition really. The advanced graphics fanboys kinda ruined the 32 bit era. I sort of have a personal vendetta with people who say if it doesn't have good graphics, it sucks. Anyway!

Games that got little good spot light in my opinion were Terranigma, R-Type (The entire series.), Simcity, and Parasite Eve.

The Marathon series.

The fact that it was only really released on the Mac didn't help matters, as far as promotion to the gaming public is concerned. Tell thee what though: Marathon > Doom.

Every time.

I dunno about Fallout -- it won (rightly) a number of awards. Great series.

How about Warcraft Adventures? Never released, but Warcraft 3 and WoW both owe Thrall, the Orc chieftain to that aborted adventure game.

Though less to the word of the title and more to the spirit of the thread: I was an enormous fan of Duke Nukem: The Manhattan Project. A true platformer but with 3D objects in it. It was like getting my childhood back in a prettily wrapped box.

Rygar for the ps2. It was Devil may cry only with with a yo-yo shield of death :D

Ico and Shadow Of The Colossus both execlent games that sunk to the bottom of the bargain bin.
