Underrated games that deserve better
15 years ago
So the demo for Just Cause 2 is coming out tomorrow, and first lemme get this outta the way. Eeeeeeeee!
Okay I'm good, but besides my initial excitement, I've been realizing it's gonna go under the radar, and I've been thinking about good games that never got the attention they deserved, so now I'm gonna give you a few games to think about:
1) Dark Sector, (360)
Okay so the controls are pretty much ripped off from Gears of War and Resident Evil 4, but who gives a shit? This game is great, you're essentially a dorky agent who gets infected with the awesomest viral infection ever, which encases your fucking arm in metal flesh and gives you a boomerang which is capable of cutting motherfuckers in half, along with pick up items off the floor and bring them to you. Link only wish his boomerang was this effective. Along with just tossing this whirling death trap at baddies, you can also steer it in slow motion and listen to the Russians scream in terror as it flies towards their faces. Did I mention you can hit elements with the boomerang and charge it with fire, electricity, or ice? And later on you get the ability to manually detonate the charge for a big burny/shocky/freezy explosion the always results in HILARIOUS ragdoll effects where the enemy goes flying team-rocket style in the stratosphere? Fucking amazing.
2) Goldeneye: Rogue Agent (Xbox)
Did you like Goldeneye 64 as much as I did? Good, leave those memories at the door when you play this game. I believe this is why it suffered more than anything, because when I sat down to play this game, I didn't expect a sequel to Goldeneye 64, and I found a pretty good FPS game. You can pretty much dual wield every single gun you find in this game (With the exception of the assault rifle, Rocket launcher, and sniper) plus your starting handgun has infinite ammo, it's slow as hell but if you shoot the baddies in the head or groin they drop fast. Plus you can get up close to the enemy, bitchslap them and use them as a human shield, or just throw them off ledges and shit for more lulz. I should point out the AI is fairly clever in this game, they'll grab their buddies and use them as human shields, take cover, and know what weapon you're carrying, plus the smarter foes know when you're aiming for them and will do their best to stay out of your crosshairs. Again, a solid choice.
3) Earth Defense Force 2017 (360)
I already made a journal all about this so I'll just say this:
Contra+Dynasty warriors+Shadow of the colossus+B-movie monsters = EDF2017. Also the friendly soldiers have been known to say shit like "When I go home, I'm gonna eat a steak!" and then the rest of the squad goes YEAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Fucking priceless.
TL;DR version: These games am good, go google them :u
By the way, do you guys know of any underrated games you love but noticed noone else loves? If so, post a comment here and tell me about it
