IGotta go with the nominations for Jade Empire, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, and Alpha Protocol. Also Assassin's Creed: Revelations, to a lesser extent.

In the context of Bioware's catalogue, I think Jade Empire is quite underrated compared to some of their other games.

I would chime in on Alpha Protocol but I'll mention Dungeon Siege 3 instead. It's not an amazing game, not hugely memorable. But it is a lot of fun if you give it a chance and turn the difficulty up. Good combat mechanics, beautiful art direction and a pretty good, if not too complex, story.

EDIT: Risen also doesn't get the credit it deserves IMO.

Splinter Cell Conviction. It's not as stealthy as other SC titles, but it's still a great game. It has the best cover system of any 3rd person shooter ever made. It's really that good. Also, it has a traditional Tom Clancy spy novel feel to it, and the writing combined with the voice acting of Sam, Grim and Vic really drives home the feel that Sam's a 50 something retired ex-marine spy out for revenge. It's like playing a game where the main protagonist is David Webb only twenty years in the future.

Man I hate Conviction it was more action and less stealth.

Eh, I liked playing a predator myself, as opposed to a sneaky infiltrator. The level design was varied enough that you could play it stealthily, you just had to kill most of the time while being in stealth.

I don't really pay attention to critics reviews, I tend to play the game and make my own decisions... AP was pretty good though.

[Dragoonlordz]

Another one springs to mind, Battle Isle 3: Shadow of the Empire. Amazingly good fun TBS.

Privateer 2 The Darkening (1996 PC title) is another one which got some bad ratings.

Starred Clive Owen as the main protaganist. Was similar in design to Wing Commander. Created by Origin and published by EA all those years ago. Was a good game though.

Mystic Quest on the Snes deserved more credit than it got. Seemed to be a lot of people who disliked it but overall it was not a bad game, was a fun one at the time.

One of the staples of great stealth games is being able to complete the entire game with out killing anyone. I can spend a long time just finding a different path to say steal a item in Thief

Before Conviction I had finished Chaos Theory probably the best in the series and I tried achieveing 100% in each mission I think I failed getting something like 90+ in mission 4 but not being spotted or having any physical contact whatsoever is great and I'd like to see it return. If not at least there is Thief 4, Hitman Absolution and Dishonored.

I actually liked the save system in AP.  In other games you can just save before a conversation and replay it until you get the conversation you feel is best (In first time play especially) In AP it locks you in with the save so you have to either live with the consequences of those actions or replay the previous segment and try again.

It's not about dialogue (plus, what precludes from Alt+Tab to desktop and manually copying save-files? Not sure for AP, but I did that for ME, since it's overwrite ending autosave like crazy and I have ZERO wishes to replay all that nonsense again), it's about usability. There are ways to prevent spamming and trial and error gameplay style (but there are ways to beat preventing, charts, for instance), plus I fail to see how this increase replayability and gameplayability, to be honest. If you want to calculate, appraise and carefully thread through game - all those "measures against spammers" only annoys you. Say, FNV - 1 minute pause between gambling or some delay in hacking. For most part it was meaningless to me, I gambled only once, for achievement (and this is one and only game I have all achievements unlocked) and generally I don't mind to wait for console to reload. But honestly, does it prevent any form of spam? Now, it's only annoys if game had crash or you royally ****ed everything up.
In AP, say, you clear some gallery, trying to make save, game rewriting save, you exiting game, go to work, return from work, run game... only to find that your character still back at the beginning of the gallery? Really?
ME3 suffers from this a bit (and a lot on Earth - just few places to make your own save, what, seriously?)
Witcher done it right - there are some fail/safe options in dialogues, but it doesn't do mind****, it just allows you to play. And enjoy. Practically that's everything what is required from game - be joy and don't mind**** user. Moreover, Witcher doesn't always trying to connects every damn time you accessing main menu, eating about 30 seconds for nothing. And it has no requirement on on-line connection.
I'm tired from this crap, when "piracy-fighters" fights law-abiding citizens.

All Battle Isle are great, Incubation in particular.

Yeh I own that too. Both of them sitting on my shelf back of room amongst my games, music and movies collections.

You lucky - my Incubation and Wilderness mission (I didn't even played it!) were "borrowed" when I was serving.

I think GoG sells them but I am not sure. Would have to go look.

Yeh they do.

So this one represents:





King's Bounty series.

[Ghost Lightning]

Zoids Battle Legends - Technically, the game sucks. But the amount of fun I had with it was absurd.

FFXIII - Easily my favorite FF game and in my top 3 favorite games (prolly #1)

Joust - Best classic co-op game I've played.

Good, thanks.
But I had disks. Not that I'm going to quote Fallout 2 dialogue with Vault-city librarian.

Pretty much.

 I have 2:
Split Second Velocity

and Bulletstorm; left on a cliff hanger but due to a lack of sales I will never get to play Bulletstorm 2

Jagged Alliance 2

Awesome turn-based strategy/RPG game. Probably my favorite and easily beats the legendary UFO: Enemy Unknown gameplay-wise (whether you like the setting is another story, but I did). 

Why it's underrated? It was quite popular in her time IIRC. I know, I remember several sectors even now, right to the positions of the enemies. Damn, I'm nerd!

I know lots of people who care about games, and nobody even knows what JA2 is. I'm glad someone does though. I do know it has a following, of course. I am actually thinking about starting up another playthrough.

Game has so much awesomeness, story, immersion and every other smart intellectual word reviewers so like to use, so I ignore bugs. Yes, it crashes, yes, it refuses to load freshiest save, animation sucks, graphic is outdated, ballistic is stupid and you know what? I don't care. Not at all. This game gave me everything I want, so I can close my eyes on all drawbacks.

Heh don't worry, we're on the same page here. Just trying to explain the "low" scores.

[RinpocheSchnozberry]

Thief 2 and Alpha Centauri cannot be rated highly enough. Thus, they are automatically underrated games.

- Ys Series (particularly Ys: The Oath in Felghana and Ys Seven)
- Blazblue series
- Jeanne D'arc

I wouldn't say say those are necessarily underrated, though, just rather niche in appeal.

As for my entry, I suppose I'll have to go with Alpha Protocol as well.
