So what is your favorite underrated game?

I think it was very underrated. Loved it to bits and it has aged well
Also vampire masquerade: blood lines
It is my favorite game ever:D
Red faction was also underrated.
Played it on the ps2. Was very fun and it had bots in the multiplayer mode:D
Heroes of Might and Magic.
Planescape and Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines. Actually, I wouldn't call them "underrated" just... overlooked.
Not really underrated dude:pQuote:

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Star Wars: Republic Commando
Summoner
It was one of the early games with awesome character improving RP elements.
The first Heroes of Might and Magic - although I was not very into gaming journalism at the time so I would have missed the hype even if it wasn't underrated.
Other than that I mostly played games that got all the praise they deserved.
Agreed. I loved that game. Only issue is I never had ammo for the weapon you start with:pQuote:

One game I thought was jolly good fun was that one where you threw a rotating blade. Dark something. Googled it but get random larping stuff.
I'd agree, which is why in my first post I said it was more "overlooked" than it was underrated. It sold at a really precarious time and was overshadowed by Half Life 2.Quote:

Etherlords II and Chaos League.
Dark Sector is the game you're looking for. And it is on my list as well.Quote:

Wasn't there a thread like this before?
My list:
Freelancer
Desperados
Black Hawk Down
Act Of War
Project I.G.I.
Ground Control
Uprising: Join Or Die
Codename: Outbreak
Earth 2150
Sniper
Stronghold
Space Colony
Crimson Skies
Titan Quest
Call of Duty 5 - World At War
Wolfenstien 2009
Ones that were mentioned:
Frontlines: Fuel of War
Vampires: The Masquerade (All of them really, not just bloodlines)
Age of Mythology
Here's my list:
Okami
psychonauts
Haunting Ground
Wild Arms (all of them)
Legacy of Kain (first one)
Chronicles of Riddick
Not sure if these were underrated/under the radar:
No one lives forever
Undying
Alice
Jade Empire
Beneath a Steel Sky old point and click game - free off of gog.com
I would have to say Titan Quest. Epic game.
No, no. You're confusing "underrated" with "overrated" :DQuote:

I agree, I liked it until you finished the Egyptian portion. Kinda crumbles at the end.Quote:

The "doggy game" as my good friends call it. This game is legendary. Guaranteed to make you laugh/cry/scream within its 20-hour duration. And it's fun.
Psychonaughts is really good, but not very violent or anything if you need that sort of thing (some people would think it's for kids I think).

The Neverhood, also really good but never did so well.

I thought Mark of Kri (ps2) was an awesome game, its so darn hard to find too.
Oh God... this.Quote:

It is really awesome. I really liked the diversity of the different areas in the game, they really seem like totally different places.
You can get it on Steam and from GOG.com for about $10 FYI.
What about Vanquish? I'm playing that now and it's awesome, but hardly anyone seems to have played it
Heart of Darkness on Playstation 1
I know it's opposite to the threads title but I found Torchlight to be very overrated. Many put it as their game of the year but I found it painful. It was a watered down Diablo.
Age of Empires 2. What I'd give to play some more multiplayer games on AoE2...
More recently, Dante's Inferno
