Underrated Games

Ah, Winback. The game I always wanted to play and all the video stores never had.

It's a turnbased squad game set just after WW2 in an alternate history or something like that. It had fully destructible enviroments, ragdolls (that was major back then!) and lots of other cool shit. It's sort of like UFO Xcom, with nazis and ragdolls.

lol.. yellow nazis. I like the idea of an alternative future where WWII went on longer than it did, Iron Storm is the only other game I can think of that tried this and it was shit, someone needs to do the idea justice!

May I suggest....Silent Storm?

Quote from Steppenwolf

Most underrated game this gen imo.

I love you.

Dude, yeah. I played that A LOT, even though my computer at the time could barely handle it. Remember getting single digit framerates in the last turns of every match (When everything had been fucked up). Oh good times, those guys should definitely have been handed the X-Com IP and have em do their thing.

Yea I know, but I feel like it only gets recognised as a great looking game when it’s a REALLY REALLY good shooter too.

Yeah i totally loved crysis!!!

the tank part was the bomb !

yeah. playing warhead at the moment and loving the combat.

jurassic park lost work WAS awesome...good memories

I was looking for a different car game where you could crash into anything and the more you destroyed the more points you got. the cover had a yellow pickup truck with black pinstripes. anyway, this came up and brought back good memories, though definitely not underrated. I probably spent more time driving in the wrong direction in this game than any other.

not underrated but definitely under-appreciated I think. I've yet to talk to a single "video game buff" irl who heard of shenmue. maybe cause it was on dreamcast?

Definitely under appreciated. Although I usually show my love for it in a fairly sarcastic way, then it was way ahead of its time in many areas, still angers me that they couldn't at least have made a third game to wrap it up. Fucking Yu Suzuki and his 10 game long epic :G

Oh!

I think I remember SOF2 multiplayer being pretty decent too...but yeah you can't beat those exploding limbs

Oh man... freedom fighters, was a kid back then. I admit i downloaded it from a random warez website, and had loads of fun with it, I later bought it on a local store, but never unpacked the CD, ah ah.
