Okay, now in all seriousness:

I haven't seen this mentioned enough, it's great.

This game is more addictive than super-heroin.
Oh god it looks like they put more work into the cover of the zerkez project than the actual game.

That game was good? Dammit i almost bought it once, but did not because i was afraid it was not good.
Oh god it looks amazing why did i not buy it why dammit.
I was suprised to not see Condemned being mentioned until I saw Rebi post.
gonna have to give another recommendation to Condemned: Criminal Origins. to this day i still think that game had the most amazing atmosphere in any game. it still stands in my top 10 favourite games.

Technically underrated only because it's so unknown and mostly a cult classic. Most of the people who have actually played it will agree that Planescape is one of, if not [I]the[/I], greatest RPG ever made. An interesting and unique universe combined with a gripping storyline and narrative that is unrivaled. Characters have complexity and depth that not many other RPGs can match, and mind, these are optional characters. Conversations flow in a realistic human way, with options to tell the truth/lie. No option comes without meaning.
The one weakness of the game would be that the combat is poor. If you want to truly enjoy Planescape, you need to be able to enjoy older games (like Baldurs Gate, Fallout 1, etc), and be down for actually reading the gripping story.
Did I mention it has amazing music?

Uh Age of Mythology wasn't under-rated at all. That game was spectacular.
I recommend Cortex Command.

Its a fantastic and really fun game when you have friends over.
It's packed with variety and strategic as hell. Really funny when a dropship crashes into a base though.
And this was the first game I ever got.

It doesn't work on vista anymore but if you have windows XP definately play it.

Again, play this with friends and you'll have a blast. I'd recommend getting the expansion too.[/QUOTE] I just started playing SWAT 4 again today. I have to say, the complex controls and considerable difficulty in the later levels make it way more rewarding to do well than in other games.
[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2c/Call_of_Cthulhu_-_Dark_Corners_of_the_Earth_Coverart.png[/img]
It is a first person point and click horror game.
Oh also, the Cthulu mythos are a major part of the story. What else could you ask for?

The funny ratings are proof of how under rated this game is.

A game about a kid braving his fear of the dark. Scary, dark fun. Also there are many many death animations and you'll see them all because you will die. A lot.
[QUOTE=zaks88;31858464][img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/32/Mercenaries_2_cover_art.jpg[/img]
Not one of the best games ever, with many faults but I used to have so much fun on coop with friends whilst Pandemic's servers lasted.[/QUOTE]
except mercs 2 is a really terrible game.

Just because it's the greatest RTS ever released.

People said it was average, but I got it and started playing it and I fell in love with it.[/QUOTE]
this better not be shit, I just downloaded the demo to try

oh no you wasted some time downloading a free demo to a game
what a shame

Yes it took an hour, and I have a bandwidth cap so if it's bad its a waste of bandwidth
No need to act like an arsehole about it

I fucking love this game. It's a spin-off of Dynasty Warriors (also amazing) that's based on Japanese history, rather than Chinese history.

The best team-based multiplayer shooter ever conceived. And I mean that. The sequel is also great, but not as good as the first.

Also this. It was easily the BEST corridor shooter I've played in ages, with equally notable multiplayer modes and yet it was completely dismissed and ignored.

Lovely 'zelda for pc', nice soundtrack and unfitting name for such forgotten game. :>
I don't know about you guys, but I was the only person I knew who had this game

In a time when Doom was at its height and mindless shooters were the best of the industry, System Shock was an incredibly complex FPS/Adventure game with a strong story, fully 3D engine, and innovative gameplay mechanics. Were it not for System Shock way back in 1994, Bioshock would not exist.
Battlefield: Vietnam
Mostly regarded as black sheep of the battlefield series but I think it's my favourite

Brute Force? Underrated gem? Nah, it was a Big Deal and had a lot of coverage before it came out. It even broke Xbox sales records on the first week of its release. But it turned out to be fairly mediocre and not anywhere near the Halo-killer it was touted to be.

Best From Software game I have played (yes that includes Demon's Souls, though DS is pretty damn close). Too bad it released on the completely wrong platform (non-FPS Japanese-styled action game on the Xbox? Bad idea), also love it because it's actual ancient Japanese mythology, not anime weeaboo shit.
Yes I already did post this in the previous 10 threads like this one, no I won't stop it.
