I know pretty much everyone on this forum will have heard of or even played this game, but Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction for the PC and Xbox. For some reason, it's often viewed as the lesser brother of AoD despite the increased amount of licensed robots, better graphics, weapons with improved power, more arenas and a larger career mode.

the criticism stemmed from 1 - the physics being worse 2 - the game being horribly unoptimised, sometimes lagging on the best of pcs and 3 - the house robot ai being suicidal at best, ignoring yellow and red cards and killing you sometimes way out from their corner

however, the mars level ruled

Cause like no one knows about this game.

POD <3 Played through it on one day with a friend on his mums birthday. good times.
I`ve read that some mentioned Robot Arena 1 as underrated. I don`t think so actually. I`m more supprised that they`ve made RA2 after that at all

Definitely. If someone could remake that in RA2, I'd probably build them a statue. :P

Heck yeah!
Also, have you ever heard of Descent and Descent 2? It's a nice game.
Nothing makes my day more than blasting robots to smithereens.

I'll dig out one of my old Gameboy titles to discuss-

Mortal Kombat 2, for the Gameboy. Whilst the other Gameboy Mortal Kombats were, for the most part, pretty crap (In particular MK4 on the Gameboy Colour), this one's actually pretty good.
It's fast, fluid, the music's good, pretty much all the special moves are in there, and improving on the shambolic "Kick him once and he dies somehow" Fatalities the original MKGB had, they've brought in some of the main Fatalities from the console games- it's undeniably a good feeling to use Scorpion's one to burn a particularly annoying opponent to death. :P

One thing that did annoy me though was that a good portion of the cast consisted of recolours, and some of the other ones were cut altogether- no Kung Lao, Johnny Cage, Baraka or Raiden. That being said though, If you're a fan of fighting games, I'd definitely recommend giving it a look.

Metroid II- Return of Samus on the Game Boy.
The first portable Metroid title, this one's definitely an underrated title in the series that should definitely be given a look. Good action and exploration elements, an interesting storyline that sets the stage for Super Metroid, and a slew of cool items and weapons to use- including some that were originally introduced here, such as the Spider Ball, Varia Suit, and the Plasma Beam. Of course the original items, including the Ice Beam, Morph Ball and the Screw Attack (One of my all-time favourite weapons in gaming) return too, making even just exploring great fun.

If you've got the original black-and-white Gameboy, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. Great little number, this one.

Ju-on The Grudge for the Wii.

Probably one of the most frightening games of this current gen, possibly one of the scariest games of all time as well.

It is a shame it did not sell well, as a sequel for it on the Wii U would be awesome especially with the gamepad.

Massive bump but it's on topic so I'm sure no one will mind.

Hogs of War for PS1 and PC. Probably one of my favorite games of all time.

OMG YES

Love that game.

Also, Spyro a hero's tail and Brutal legend are underrated (and very, very different)
