I thought it'd be cool to have a thread that had some under the radar games that are worth checking out. Maybe open some eyes to a few games people might have missed out on. ----- I'll start it off with, Zack & Wiki Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure.  wii.ign.com/objects/893/893610.htmlThis game is perfect for anyone who enjoys puzzle games, and if not, it'll more than likely get you hooked on the genre. I must say that this is one of the more difficult games I've played in the last five years. Some of the puzzles take a lot of time and thought to complete, and with multiple ways of solving puzzles you'll have your hands full for quite a while. |

I always thought the Trauma Center games never got quite enough recognition. Easily one of the most addictive games I've played ever...

I think Indigo Prophecy, essentially the unofficial precursor to Heavy Rain, was one severly underrated game. I loved that game, and not alot of people that I know played it.

Both Disaster Report and it's sequel Raw Danger. Shame the sequel didn't sell well enough to permit a port of the PSP game from Japan.

I started playing that after beating Heavy Rain because my friend insisted on it. Truly a quality game. It's on the XBL Marketplace for those interested  |

  I can't believe neither of these games got any sequels. |

Wow, I thought I was the only person who enjoyed Drakan. I remember my mom buying me some sort of "summer pass" at Blockbuster. It was $20 or $25 for a month or so. And you could just switch out 1-2 games whenever you wanted. I pretty much tried 20 games in that span of time and Drakan was one of them. I never got to beat it, but I still enjoyed the game.
Indigo Prophecy and the Trauma Center games are also great.
Here's a few titles I felt got ignored during their time, or (in the case of the 360 title) are kind of being ignored currently.
PS2- Godhand
PS1- Shadow Madness
360- Alan Wake (this one sold well below what it deserved)
Wii- Madworld

I can't believe neither of these games got any sequels. Bully is apparently getting one according to the music composer.   Great games. Stories are very cliche but both are very fun, lengthy and has amazing music. |

I really wanted to try Metro 2033. Maybe I'll pick it up one of these days.

I'm eagerly waiting for Metro 2033 to drop in price a little. It's still about $35-40 used. Makes me wish I had a decent gaming PC since it's only $20 on that platform.
Here's a few others I enjoyed and wish I could finally play through.
N64- Hybrid Heaven
PS2- Summoner
There was also another game on the PS2 that I enjoyed, but I completely forgot the name. I thought it was something like Bounty Hunter, or Man Hunter, but no search has popped up the title I'm looking for. Only Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter shows up, and that's not what I was thinking of.
In the game you were some sort of bounty hunter or cop. You'd get your target at HQ and then have race to them on a motorcycle before time ran out. Once you arrived, it'd turn into a standard shooter as you fought off a gang of bad guys in pursuit of your target. It was a little repetitive (it seemed like you were always busting bad guys at the same abandoned store), but still kind of fun.
I remember the main character was humorously generic as well. Black t-shirt, black jeans, sunglasses, slicked back hair, and stubble. Even more generic was the box art, which was just an up-close shot of his face. I know the name was equally simplistic, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is.
