    Which games do you think deserved more attention, or aren't appreciated? I'm sure we all agree about Metro 2033, but what others are there?

    For me, I think the "Way of the Samurai" series isn't given enough publicity in the West, number 4 only available in Japan.

    I have to say:
    ♦ Halo 3: ODST (Allot of people never appreciated that game, i thought it was amazing)
    ♦ Over G Fighters (Just Underrated, a also amazing game, people don't like simulators)
    ♦ Operation flashpoint: dragon rising (same reasons as over g)

    I liked Far Cry 2. It had its problems, and under-appreciated but I think it was still a good game.

    Operation Flashpoint is an amazing game, one of the most realistic war-games I've played. And Far Cry 2 is also very good. I think Far Cry 2 was liked by many people, and Far Cry 3 seems to be getting a lot of attention.

    "Metro 2033"
    the "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." series
    "Shadow of the Colossus" (Higly underrated, and pretty much unknown to alot of people!)
    "Devil May Cry" 1 and 3 (The story for the 3rd game is awsome)
    "Rayman" 2 and 3 (A pretty good game for PS1 and PS2)
    "Crash Team Racin"g aka "CTR" (great game for PS1 and I still like it!)
    "Timesplitters 2" (A great game making parodies of everything popular)
    "Battlefield: Bad Company" (PS3 and XBOX exclusive, but I like it more than the 2nd game)
    "Swords of destiny" (Not really that good, but still Underrated)

    And I thats about it, even though I would like too present some more games that are underrated xD

    I heard Shadow of the Colossus is fantastic. I don't think it's underrated (many people call it a masterpiece, it's probably just not that popular.

    Glad to see someone else liked the new AvP. Everyone whom I've talked to about that game before had a lot against it.

    I seriously love AVP, but yea the storyline was really short to be such an awesome game.

    I agree, but it was so addictive that I completed the whole game the night I bought it. I guess that's good because it hooks you in and also bad because it's so damn short. Anyway, I really enjoyed the multiplayer in that game. Played it for a loooong time.

    I've never really tried it. It seems nobody are playing it online, 'cause I don't seem to find any servers at all..

    Ah, yes, GUN and Shadow of the Colossus are both quite underrated. Another one is Castlevania Lords of Shadow. I think DMC 1 & 2 both made Platinum, so I wouldn't really say they're underrated, it's just some people don't like action games like that. Btw, I love DMC 1-4. Not too sure how 5 will be.

    I hope that the 5th DMC will be better than it looks like, but lol I really dont know anymore.....
    I believe that DMC 3 was underrated because that, almost all my friends didnt like it at all, or thought it was too fast, and too much button smashing.... xD

    The new DMC... oh no, that looks terrible. :( I really hate it what they're doing to this series.

    Oh no, Minecraft definitely isn't underrated! :p My friends keep talking about it, my internet friends talk about it, websites talk about it.

    Yes, but I've still met a lot of people going "Meh, the graphics are bad and it's all squares and I didn't understand shit of it" :p
