Underappreciated game thread

Looked around the forums a bit before posting this, but i think there should be a thread where people post games they love, and why they think they are under appreciated.

My contribution: SSX On tour (not the new one)

http://www.amazon.com/SSX-On-Tour-Playstation-2/dp/B000AOEUOI

Its like 5 dollars at any gamestop used for Gamecube / PS2 and it is by far money well spent.

I picked this game up this summer and holy shit, its one of the most enjoyable games i own. Although the game is primarily a snowboarding game, there is the option to ski. It really is fun as hell to ski SSX style, and honestly, for 5 bucks, you can't go wrong. If your looking for something to do, and you don't have the 60 dollars to drop on the new SSX game, def. buy this game.

Ill agree x1000 with jibbin. Initially i downloaded it and was like Lol shit game, but then you actually play it, and the game is dope. If any of you guys haven't played it for whatever reason; http://jibbingame.com/ . Rookie error on my part, i played the game for about a month before realizing you could grind :S

Amped 2
Gnarshmallow (tied for first)

Mirrors Edge. That game was the best. Till you beat it and there was nothing to do after that....

They need to make a second one with a multi player option.

Vulcan Raven! MGS was the best game ever haha. I played through it so many times. I had the stealth bandana and the infinite ammo bandana, and knew all the secrets with the boxes and shit. One of my favorite games of all time.

No one has even heard of this game, but it's so good. It's not Skyrim good, but it's up there.

BF2 is so rad. Also OP, this game has been around for a long time, but I forgive you. SSX OT is actually pretty sweet. Most of the grabs are still relevant, and you can do some realistic levels (somewhat) if you avoid the super tricks or whatever they are called

not necessarily underappreciated, but i know lots of people who haven't even heard of this game and consider themselves old-time snes gamers. i've had countless hours of fun playing this game as a kid. brings back so many epic memories.
