Underrated and Underappreciated Games - IGN

Pretty good article, though sorely missing Freedom Fighters. I've yet to play ICO (and would very much like to), but overall I'd say it was a decent list. Especially number 1.

I have Beyond Good & Evil on the pc but i cant get it to work right. So many artifacts that i cant see anything while playing. Really want to play also..

They're right, I haven't heard of about 4 of them. ;(

Psychonauts, Rez, Ico and Beyond Good & Evil appear on these lists so much that it's really about time people stop pretending that they are 'Underrated and Underappreciated'. I'm just glad to see that System Shock 2 isn't on there again.

Psychonauts isn't under rated.

It's just that nobody buys it because the majority of popular games are published by EA and are bought by tasteless chavs.

 

[Raxxman]

they're considered under appreciated because regardless of how good they were, they are commercial failures

OK besides "Beyond Good & Evil" , "Psychonauts" and "Killer7" I haven't heard of any of those games:O

 

[Warbie]

Nice to see Rez

 

[Bad^Hat]

Just about to finish Shadow of the Colossus, and hot damn if I'm not gonna check out ICO after that. Actually, I just remembered I still have it going in my room - just paused it on the final encounter cuz it was frustrating the hell out of me

Beyond Good & Evil is somewhere on my list too... and maybe Psychonauts if I can ever be bothered. Meh to the rest.

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Body harvest was suck.

I'm still disappointed that I can never find a copy of Ico anywhere though. Shadow of the Colossus is really good.

 

[CyberPitz]

Havn't played any of them
Go me!

Rez was the one with the vibrator wasn't it? :O
How can such a game be unappreciated?

Do we have some kind of "retarded reply copying" worm on the forums or something?

Anyways, Beyond Good & Evil = WIN WIN WIN. Play it NOW if you haven't already, because it's right up there with Half-Life, Half-life 2, Deus Ex, Psychonauts, etc in terms of incredible quality.

 

[AmishSlayer]

Sky Odyssey = WIN

Love that game.

 

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

meh the majority of them are console games...which means they can stay underrated for all I care as I don't give a ****.

Body Harvest, Rez and Space Station Sillicon Valley were awesome games. Loved them loads.

 

[Ol'Master]

None of them were really underrated, the majority did well by critics, just didn't sell well. However, great list. I wish that IGN wouldn't keep on insisting on saying 'It's Zelda, but for PS2/Xbox!' though.

 

[Venmoch]

Body Harvest was awesome....

Shame it sold about 5 copies

 

[Asknoone]

Shame it sold about 5 copies

That gave me a lol.

 

[jimbo118]

sky odyssey? *somewhat intrigued*

 

[Beerdude26]

BTW, I just finished Startopia, which was tbh also pretty underrated. The computers of the time when it was released just weren't strong enough to run the game stable enough. I just finished it with my current computer and I haven't crashed once, at it is very, very awesome.

Also, the credits are hilarious:

sky odyssey? *somewhat intrigued*

I had rented it years ago and thought of it again like 2 months ago.

Picked up a copy for $4 at a local Gamestop.

Best flying game I've played in a long time if not the best.

 

[<RJMC>]

I played psychonauts and liked it a lot

I want to try killer7 but never found a english vertion

 

[theotherguy]

Psychonauts, Body Harvest and Silicon Valley...YES! I loved those games, but almost nobody i know has played them. Body Harvest and Silicon valley were some of the best games for the N64 IMO

 

[Jintor]

MOST EXCELLENT GAME PSYCHONAUTS!1!!1!!!!!!

Beyond Good and Evil was good too.
