What games do you think deserve more recognition/credit than they received when released.
I'll start with Spartan Total Warrior for the PS2.
Was great fun hacking down numerous roman's as a spartan (if not historically accurate
)
Plus it was made by the same developer that made Rome total war so I knew it'd be great fun
Just never met anyone else who played it lol

X-men Origins: Wolverine - Xbox 360/PS3
I bought that and couldnt get into it
Tumble (PS3) - a fun puzzle game for PS Move that fuses elements of Jenga & that TV show 'The Cube'. Very Slick Presentation
Red Steel 2 (Wii ) A really good shooter thats a thousand times better than the original and which has great controls and a awesome art style....shame no one bought it)
Mad World (Wii- Ultra Violent Wii action game with a really cool Sin City look,lots of dark humor too)
No More Heroes (Wii/PS3) a Bonkers Japanese-Punk -Slash Em Up, with crazy violence. Travis Touchdown is my favourite new character this gen.
IL2 Sturmovik Birds of Prey (PS3/360) ( Great WW2 flight shooter that is essentially 2 games in 1 as you can alternate between how realistic and arcade you want the game to be, with a huge difference. Awesome graphics)
Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts(360) (Sold ok but the critical response was way too savage, I liked the vehicle tinkering game mechanic, not up there with 64 versions, but a great title that tried something different).
Slighty off topic but is there a bundle available at retail that features tumble and i few other games, i'm sure i may have seen one, cause i really want it but i hate not having a book and case
Yeah this is what you're after. Contains Tumble (very good) + Lemmings (a modern version,good but not as fun as vintage lemmings) + Echochrome II (a very clever game with a beautiful art style...it has its fans though personally not my cup of tea.

thanks i was sure i had seen it just wasn't sure of the title, i might it soon just some other games to finish first
Agree with Alan Wake, it was poorly marketed and under appreciated.
Wet was another game that seemed to slip pass a lot of people and wasn't helped by the terrible demo. It's not a classic by any means but the actual game was great, if mindless fun. Reminiscent of Max Payne in terms of gameplay with added sword fights. Good gameplay.
Most of Rare's games for 360 are brilliant, Banjo Kazooie Nut's and Bolts, Kameo, Perfect Dark Zero and Viva Pinata, despite great reviews they didn't seem to take off that well. Now MS have placed what's left of Rare working on sports games for Kinect, it's a shame and a waste of creative talent but money talks at the end of the day. Let's hope that situation changes soon.
Definitely! There's nothing else like this game and I still think it's the greatest example of motion controls thus far. If Nintendo have any sense they will stick to this IP like glue as it's AAA material. The first game was weak but the sequel was superb. I also loved the 60fps cell shaded visuals, a joy to play!
Dantes inferno - enjoyed this just as much as gow.
sonic unleashed - crimanly underrated just because sonic turn into a werehog. The daytme leel are much better than colors and annivesry
yakuza series - brilliant open world games with a ton of sh1t to do, and one few series i actually care about the story and characters, as over the top as they both may be
Ring Of Red (PS2)
Guitaro Man (PS2)
Resistance 3 was my favourite single player FPS of last year - again, reviewed ok, sold poorly.
Shadows of the Damned - great fun - mixed reviews and sold next to nothing.
But I picked it up a couple of months ago from gamestation for £4 and I had a blast
I think the problem with dead island is they had those amazing cinematic trailers but then released a game which graphically looks shoddy in comparison with games released 5 or 6 years ago
I agree with this. Nier definitely rates very high on my favourite games list.
I'll also add Sacred 2 and Vanquish to the list.
If there was more freedom in the camera angle in Sacred 2 I'm sure it would have appealed to so many more people. As for Vanquish, not sure why the radar missed it but a very enjoyable game none-the-less.
I also enjoyed Bayonetta, Mirrors Edge and Wolfenstein.
That's a shame
I have to admit that the initial area put me off the game until I went back to it at a later date (next day I think) and passed that bit.
Another one which was mentioned -- Enslaved, which I've completed many times (including the DLC).
As with Beyond Good & Evil it didn't sell well but the reviews were all praise,
