Most underrated games on pc?

Blood Omen 2 - spectacular, really oldshool and satisfying, yet challenging combat.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within - I really don't understand when people say that sands of time was superior. All the ellements of the first instalment were improved.

Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure - those who played liked it, the problem is, not enough people played it.

Beyond Good & Evil - wonderful game.

Second Sight

Psychonauts

Mount & Blade

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic - it has the best melee combat of any pc game.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Dead Island

Condemned: Criminal Origins

Clive Barker's Undying

Aliens Versus Predator 2

Jade Empire: Special Edition

Just Cause 2. Playing it now it's so good! It seems to me like the game was totally overlooked.

Singularity...this game was awsome. And also Clive Barker Jericho.

The Saboteur. Well, not 'most'... just one that I enjoyed and doesn't get mentioned a lot.

Dark Messiah was first one that came to mind. Great game.

Are you playing through the story or just screwing around? I found just screwing around was much more fun whereas doing the story missions put me to sleep. :P

OT: I have to second Condemned: Criminal Origins. I don't know how good of a port it is, but it was a great game for the 360.

Audiosurf. Was just playing it on premium graphics (up the amount of lights a bit) while playing with dubstep, it was awesome.

Plus, mafia 2. My GAWD, i can't wait for a 3rd game.

Mafia 2, possible one of the best stories ever.

SpaceChem, one of the best puzzle games ever made, not many people have even heard of it.

Just screwing around, I have played a few missions but I feel like once you play one you have played them all.

You said pretty much all i wanted to say and then some.

Also, i would add STALKER.

So far, specially with mods, the game is awesome, but outside of here, i rarely, if ever, see it being discussed by ANYONE, and it didn't win anything, and it has like a 82 on Gamerankings.

So yeah, STALKER too.

Im not sure if Stalker is underrated. Stalker series always had problems with stability and bugs. Besides this fact this game serie have something more than typical FPS. It's more challenging and not just only shoot/realod style of fps. People who play it without any bugs problem have positive opinions about this title.

For me underrated games are:

Dark Messiah of might magic - Amazing game. If only the "kick" action button could be more balanced because this action is too powerful imho... Second note: If producers could only work more with multiplayer to attract more people....

Singularity - Solid FPS with all best elements of modern games like Bioshock and Halflife. Gameplay is far better in Singularity than in Bioshock/Crysis series.

Bulletstorm - Pure fun. Never ever the FPS game gave me so much laugh when killing enemies. FUn, Fun, Fun. For me this game is "Duke Nukem Forever".

LA Noire - 80% of a terrific game. The writing and the dialogue is some of the best in this industry. So many of its little flaws and quirks could be fixed with a sequel. That seems unlikely to happen though :(

I also second Bullestorm - a game that knows exactly what it is and runs with. Great fun!

@biggest_loser:

I've been hearing little hisses and whispers of a possible sequel. Everyone thought there wouldn't be since Team Bondi went out of business immediately following the release of L.A. Noire. I've been hearing of a sequel set in the Orient sometime in the 30's or 40's. Hopefully there is one since the original was so amazing. But everyone knows how Rockstar loves to be tight-lipped on everything until right before the release. All we can do is wait and hope.

Get a freaking life, damn necro threads.
