It scored well, but I've never heard it talked about much by gamers. I dont know anyone else who has it actually.

Clive Barker's Undying - Very atmospheric and great level design.

I'll add my usual reply.

Hostile waters!!!!!! plus homeworlds (I so reinstalled homeworld2 again today)

Shamikebab · 12 Oct 2008 at 02:14

I dont think Homeworld was that underrated, Hostile Waters should have been more popular though

Call of Juarez

Highly recommended. Decent story and some great visuals, a proper western game.

Alter Ego [...]

I've been playing this for the last hour, waiting for the Grand Prix to start. In nearly every sense of the word, epic. Reminded me of Passage, and evoked a similar emotional response.

Thanks

Beyond Good and Evil. Great game and I hear they are making a sequel.

i immediatly thought that

That's because Cloverfield was heavily influenced by the short stories of H.P Lovecraft, the creator of Cthulu.

Another vote for rogue trooper, played it through a second time after finishing it! Great game and very underrated!!

I would also like to suggest "Armed & Dangerous". One of the funniest games I have ever played! the cut scenes are great and the game play is quite good as well.

na, homeworld wasnt underated. I cant remember there being any great hype when it came out but it scored well and built up a big fan base. A simlar game that was underate is Nexus: The Jupiter Incident, altho it did have a few bad bugs on release which account for the bad score.

I'll second Fahrenheit...

Agreed it's not underrated but most of the games in this thread scored well in reviews, we're concentraiting more on the "hidden gems".

Rated well yes, but it wasn't very popular amongst the gaming community and that makes it "under rated" in my opinion. It hardly sold at all and was severely under rated by people in general.

Like Shamikebab, I am the only person amongst my peers who owns this.
