Ever played a game that you really enjoyed and thought it was pretty awesome, but no one else seems to like it due to obscurity, bad reviews, etc?
Well, I've played a handful of such games that I thought were pretty good, and yet just didn't seem to gain the recognition of being good games from others.
These games are:
Bloodrayne,
Dark Reign
Blood
Arx Fatalis.
Undying
Bloodrayne 2
Ground Control
Divine Divinity
Duke Nukem Manhattan Project
What about dakka dakka? What games have you played that you think are underrated or at least deserve more than obscurity?

I just looked that game up. It does sound very interesting.
Sadly, I cannot play it as I have a PC.

You know, it was all the rage way back when, when the 360 came out, but no one seems to remember Kameo these days. While the game was simplistic, and the story was meh, it was actually pretty fun. Kept me entertained, at least.

I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying. |

Ah yes, I recall that. Again, I never played it as I am strictly a PC gamer, but I do recall the advertisements.

Hah! I actually know that one, and I have played it. It was ok. Oh, and for the sake of completion I'm going to put Bloodrayne 2 on my list. Sure the kill puzzles were a pain, but other than that it was pretty fun.

Ah, Oni. I remember that. It was surprisingly good...
That, and konoko (I think) was kind of a badass.

Nope, the "beat 'em up" game with a little shooting and sneaking.
But it's really fun to play. The combat is quite easy but satisfying, shooting weapons are surprisingly balanced with HtH. I'm disappointed there is no sequel.

You know, I never actually played that, despite really wanting to. I only found out about it during Halo 3, and could never find a copy. What was it about?

Crimson Sea was the one where you were in those battle boats and the guy in your garage was always falling in love with them, wasn't it?

I am obsessed with the Zombies!!! game from Twilight Creations. It is a fun, uncomplicated, and easy to learn game. Not a lot of gnashing of teeth with rules conflicts, especially since the rules span aboht four small pages per set. Have yet to play with anyone that doesn't want to play again.
I've also had lots of fun with the WOTC game Guillotine. Pretty much everything I said above, and its more portable.

That's odd...I thought Supreme Commander was fairly successful.
Oh well, I suppose its relative.
Well, a lot more successful than the games on my list, anyway.
