    Just thought I'd start a thread about games that make you go 'oh yeh!' (Not the ferris bueller way)
    I'm talking Frontlines: Fuel of War, Vampire Rain, Splinter Cell: Double Agent, viva piƱata! This generation has been going on for 7 years there's gotta be a load of games people have just forgotten about but might want to recommend to anyone who are relatively new to the console.
    Legendary, Turning Point the list goes on!

    Yeah; legendary and turning point are both highly underrated and anyone wanting to check them out should have no qualms about paying at least £20 each
    they're forgotten because they were utter shit!

    It's a trap!

    The game I always think of was Nier, massively underrated and probably misunderstood. I like those sort of weird games though, loved El Shaddai and Shadows of the Damned too.

    The Darkness. Slightly mitigated in that its had a recent sequel, but the original is not a much-talked about game. And yet it is probably my favourite game of this generation.

    Tried Split Second on holiday because our villa had a PS3 and a load of games. I wasn't that impressed unfortunately.

    Port Royale 3: Pirates and Merchants.

    Anyone played that? Me neither. It came out not long ago with not much funfare.

    I want to give it a go though as deep strategy games are hard to find on 360.

    What? No one's mentioned Section 8 yet? Both it and it's sequel are great.

    Dishonoured.
    When does anyone ever talk about the "best game of the year", eh?

    The darkness is a good shout - bought that for a 5er about 3 years ago. Really enjoyed the story. You could watch a whole film on that game! Forgot what it was...

    In all honesty though, Dark sector. I quite enjoyed that

    Split second was great! Especially in two player.

    Very true, shame it never took off as much as it should have. Probably the best respawn mechanic in an FPS.

    This space left intentionally blank.

    Pure was genius, one of the best arcade racers this gen, like some funky love child of Motorstorm and SSX.

    Girl, you thought he was a man, but he was a muffin.

    Wow, the only retail 360 game I still own that can fall into this category is Splinter Cell: Conviction. A good game, but definitely more of an action-movie vibe about it this time.

    The Darkness was not a good game at all. The films and video clips you could watch on various tv screens were the only good gimmicks, the rest of the game was a barren, boring, frustrating, underwhelming experience. I paid £5 for it and only completed it out of sheer determination, went and sold it within minutes of finishing it.

    I think Darkness is fantastic! I have to admit first time I played the demo I hated it, but I gave it another go and loved it.

    It's all about the atmosphere. The gameworld is absolutely spot on, filled with just the right amount of characters to keep it from feeling empty yet still a part of the quiet, dark underbelly of the city. I especially loved the hub, with lots of nice easter eggs, side-quests and NPCs to discover.

    More than anything else, it's about The Darkness. That's what pushes the story along, and the thing that makes it more fun to play. The powers are tons of fun, be it throwing cars at people, sneaking up behind them and eating their heads, or summoning a black hole to show the Super-collider who is boss ;)

    Yes, there are a couple of sections that go on a bit, and the focus on using The Darkness means gunplay is secondary, but it's certainly not a bad game by any stretch given the prices you can get it for now.

    Kirby is the man! Even if he wasn't, he'd just ingest and become one.

    The first and last game to make the sixaxis waggle appear worthwhile. Also had an awesome soundtrack. Loved it.

    Mercs 2. Buggy in the most comical ways but still a decent followup to the original.  Shame we probably wont see another.

    GR:AW. One of my first games. Loved it at the time. Dont know if this would still hold up now.

    R6:Vegas. In the same vein as above.

    Crackdown. Not so much underrated or forgotten but damn this was a fine game.  Same as Mercs2, sadly we might not see another.  Just looked through my achievments foe this and the first one I unlocked was 23/02/2007. Didnt realise it was that old.

    I disagree, found the game far too empty. Powers were too fiddly, and you spend far too long shooting out lights.

    But the ultimate problem, from which no amount of positive features could redeem it, is the lack of a run button. A game with lots of huge empty spaces, backtracking, getting lost etc. and there is NO RUN BUTTON.
