What's a 360 game that you love, but has seemed to slip past the notice of most of the gamer population? And no, Halo, Call of Duty, and Fallout, and games like that, do NOT count.

Anyhow, my favorite obscure title on the 360 is Operation Darkness. Interesting game, as it combines real WW2 history, JRPG game mechanics, and anime quirkiness together in one immersive, addictive game. The only major drawback is the fact that it has graphics that look like they belong on the PS2.

What's yours?

Probably Hitman Blood Money. I'm not sure how well it sold but even at release it wasn't being talked about much. Utterly awesome game that everyone should try. You could probably find it quite cheep now too.

The only hitman game I've tried was Contracts, and I didn't care much for it. Would you say it's better than that game?

Definitely. Rent it or buy it for cheap. I still need to complete it, but I played it enough to realize it was a fantastic game that is unlike anything else available.

Easily The Godfather 2 it's not the greatest game ever but I thought it was great. It was a fantastic game throughout until I got to the last level as the police are ****ing ridiculously great drivers and the driving in that game is just horrible. The multiplayer was just bull**** though since with only $10 you're better than everyone else. Seriously on the first day people had four abilities and all level 5 weapons!

Definitely Crackdown, everybody was too busy drooling over the Halo 3 Beta that was included that they missed out on an incredible game.

Most of my friends played Crackdown even though they only got it for the Halo 3 beta. I thought it was an enjoyable experience, but it got pretty repetitive and stale after a while. Collecting the orbs was fun, the art style was awesome, but the game needed more depth.

Contracts is probably the worst Hitman game. It's the only one I didn't finish. Blood Money is much better.

umm... "Universe at War" was a pretty cool RTS that no one played. I also liked "Hail to the Chimp" even though it got bad reviews, I thought the game was really cool and was bummed that no one bought it because online multiplayer looked freakin fun!

Not sure how under the radar this game is, but I loved The Bourne Conspiracy. Don't really hear people talk about it much.

The Godfather.

I also thought Tenchu Z was awesome. I really mean it. I hear it getting horrible scores but I really fell in love with the game for some reason.

Rockstar's Table Tennis fo sho, I still can't get enough of that game. While the game was ported to Wii, my heart sunk after seeing what it was lacking :(. It's pretty much a "good" exclusive to 360 would be the best way to put it.

Everyone on my friends list sends me a message of "What the hell is that your playing!?" whenever I pop in Bladestorm the 100 year war. I love that game, Its true that there isn't much depth but I love doing those Large Scale Battles. Its just one of those games you can pop in, Play for 30min and get something accomplished or play all day and get the same sense of accomplishment, its fun, Plus its an insanely long game, you could easily rake in 200hrs before finishing it.

I got bored of Crackdown really, really quickly. In fact I didn't even finish it. Loved the visuals, but despite them, the gameplay was far too repetitive for me.

The Darkness is one game I really loved, also a kind of mobster kind of game. It may have been linear and the gameplay kind of meh, but the game managed to be great nonetheless.

I really liked Conan. I remember the first time I played it, some of my friend were over, drooling over it. then I got to the first boss, and kept throwing all his minions into a spiked wall. we were all torched out of gourds and laughing our faces off. I could never wrap my mind around all the hate for that game, aside from the last boss.

TF2 is easily the most underrated multiplayer game on the Xbox 360 with Shadowrun in a close second.

My favorite has to be FlatOut Ultimate Carnage. There was so much crashing and smashing going on at once...something i am a big fan of...it was incredible! The graphics were pretty awesome too, even with everything going on it would really only slow down with an explosion. :P Tons of fun, great online...ahh. My favorite racing game to date. Other honorable mentions are: The Darkness, Stuntman Ignition and The Bourne Conspiracy.

Red Faction: Guerrilla. I love the destructability of the enviroment, only down side is that there aren't any huge cities in the game.

I have quite afew that I have really enjoyed. Transformers RotF is a blast and as some have said the multiplayer is extremely well done. Test Drive Unlimited is still a great game, FEAR 2 is a very good FPS, Mercenaries 2 is just a fun sandbox game with some nice quirks and NHL 07-10 have been fantastic hockey games. Lastone I would have to say is Flat Out Ultimate Carnage its a crazy racing game and lots of competitive fun offline but the rubber band AI can be a nuisance.

For me, it looks to be Tropico 3. I'm sure that game won't nearly get the sales or acclaim it deserves.

EDIT: I know it's not out yet, but I don't have nothing else and the demo alone was fantastic.

That game and BF: Bad Company really aren't under-the-radar games, as they are both well-known and sold decently.

Crackdown and Kameo. Both great games, Crackdown was overshadowed by the halo 3 beta, and i guess Kameo was seen as "kiddy"
