It got pretty shitty reviews when it came out, and if it wasn't for my achievement addiction at the time I would never have given it a chance. Even in a year as jam packed with good games as 2007, Shadowrun was actually one of the games I had the most fun with.
Oh and D3, System Shock 2 and NOLF? Underrated? What the hell are you talking about. Both those games sold quite well for the time, and they got amazing reviews. Everybody that's played them will probably hold them up as some of the best games of all time. In fact they're games, especially SS2, that are still influencing the industry to this date.

i had a shit ton of fun with this game maybe even more than with the original syndicate i just wished it wasn't linear and had more of that conquering the world vibe going on like the first one.

Awesome story, good graphics at the time, awesome gameplay, although very dull and boring free-roaming elements. *shrugs*

Best Heroes of Might and Magic game imho (haven't played HOMM 5 yet), even though everyone says it's crap. It has the best monster balancing and the best magics system in my opinion.

By indie developers S2 Games, consisting of a stunning mix of RTS and shooter games.

Well if that's what you think let's twist it a little further and say StarCraft sucks. :]

And I see what you did there.

Well it might not be as underrated as some titles but it didn't recieve the sales it deserved and there's loads of people today who have never heard of it. I mean if you mention Looking Glass studios to anyone they're more likely to think Thief than SS2.
Of course I could say SS1 is massively underrated like many people do, but I've never played it so I can't comment.
As for NOLF, when people think Monolith these days they think of F.E.A.R., compared to that title NOLF had nowhere near as much influence on gamers, you and I and a fair few here might hold it with high regard, but there's plenty out there that have never heard of NOLF.
Quote from HourencesId love to still get a chance to give requiem a shot. I played the demo a whole lot when it came out but eventually bought AVP instead with the little money I had then
Great game, being able to cast spells is the best thing about it, since the weapons are pretty crappy. It's awesome being able to turn an enemy into salt and watch them disentegrate before you, or summon a swarm of locusts that surround them or boil their blood so much they explode into a gibbed mess. Most awesome powers are definately the possess ones where you can either trick an enemy into being a ally and attacking other enemies or possess them directly so you can either go stealth or mow them down before they know what's hit them, especially great for the dreadnought class

I would assume he's working on Supreme Commander 2, seeing as the first one was so good...
