Although a lot of people will not agree with this, I feel that Two Worlds was a very underrated game. Sure it had some frame rate issues and the multi-player was horrible because of the lag, but I still think that this game was good.

My favourite features of this game had to be the map and the number of items that were available to the player. There just seemed to be such a variety of landscapes and different creatures that I forgot about the frame rate "issues" which I myself didn't even think were that bad.

I really wish that the multi-player didn't have the severe lag, because without it I would have been playing it constantly.

The Space Quest series also deserves a mention. They were a witty, odd bunch of point and click/text games, as well as the Police Quest ones.

A game that i love, but people don't give enough credit to is
Marvel: Nemesis.
The story is pretty retarded, but, having a game where Wolverine and Daredevil can dish it out is hard-core awesome.

My vote goes for one of the best racing games of all-time: F-Zero X.

Second is another amazing racing game: Star Wars episode 1 racer.

Come to think of it, I did have a lot of racing games for the N64. Oh well, at least I got my money's worth out of my steering wheel.

Alien Hominid (console version). C'mon, you gotta admit it's underrated...
Einhander: an incredibly badass side-scrolling shooter for the Playstation. Few people have even heard of it, and those of you who have and played it? I will blow you for a copy.
Zone of the Enders 2: pretty cool story, even better gameplay. Came short in play-length, though.
The Armored Core series (All of them except for Nine Breaker for PS2 and that shitty PSP version): endless customization. My friends and I still build Cores in AC4A and split screen that shit. We've even made "Blader" cores which are super-fast and, as the name suggests, only have blades, and we'll turn those matches into drinking games since it's completely based on skill.
Worms Armageddon: endless fun...I could play that game for days on end.
Shadow Warrior (3D Realms PC game). Like Duke Nukem with a samurai sword and shurikens.
Carmageddon: Senseless racing/demolition derby with added bonus's for it's gore, running over pedestrains and causing wanton destruction...the first two were the best.
Battlestation Midway: very complex and intelligently done.
The entire Guilty Gear series: phenomenal music for a phenomenal 2D fighting game.

and Homeworld 2... Absolutely brilliant space-themed strategy game with spherical, three-dimensional maps and massive fleets of ships at your disposal. I'M STILL trying to buy the full version of this game...and I wish they would make a sequel...

I remember this game. I'm pretty sure I still have the Playstation Magazine demo disc that had this on it.

Worms Armageddon: endless fun...I could play that game for days on end.

Great game, I agree here.

The only thing I liked better about the original Homeworld was the fact that you could view battles from the cockpit of one of the tiny ships at your disposal.

Totally agree with you on the Guilty Gear and Carmageddon. Good times good times. That new Guilty Gear for the 360 aint bad....totally took the series in a different direction though which was kinda cool. But anyways...

Music was fantastic in the GG games. I dont know how else to explain it

Without a doubt, Tropico.Never heard of it? That's for sure.

It was another simulation business game.But rather being a copy of Sim City.But it relies in the people A LOT more.It also had a lot of options about how your island will be.An interesting(and realistic) employement system.Interesting ways to cover needs.Lots of good stuff.

That game was awesome.Until the sequel came out and I cried just for the idea.T5hen Pop TRop software bankrupted.Then I lost hopes for another sequel.Or did I?

I hear no one talk about Harvest Moon and it's been around longer than some of the games on your list.

Look at me, look at me! My pee has no color!

Good call there. Harvest Moon is amazing, you can start playing in the morning then bam its night time already, it draws you in so quickly...

Harvest Moon was a great game, but it was pretty recognized as such, I thought.
