We all have a few games that we love that no one else seems to even be remotely interested in, and I wanna know what those games are!
This isn't about games you know are average but you love anyway--these are games you think do something particularly well that people just don't know about, and there's a decent shot that they might like it just as much as you do if they just gave it a chance! These games don't have to be perfect (they probably aren't, honestly) or even obscure, but if you have games that you think aren't appreciated enough for what they do well, post it here!
I'll start off with my own.
If you enjoy (J)RPGs:
Wild ARMs 5 - Probably the best RPG battle system ever. Weak plot, but it's a blast to play through to the very end and has a ton of extra content.
Valkyria Chronicles - So good. VC mixes strategy with real-time combat in a way that just plain works. There are a few unfortunate design choices, but this is a game that shouldn't be missed if you own a PS3.
If you enjoy action games a la DMC and GOW:
X-Men Origins: Wolverine Uncaged - A surprisingly competent and fun action game where you get to cut things up as ****ing Wolverine. Bugs and glitches abound, but a game that is totally worth a playthrough or two.
now you guys
I can't speak on Wild Arms, but I can vouch for Wolverine. I was expecting crap, but the game was good and surprisingly gory. It gets repetitive later on, sadly - the combat system is awesome but they throw the same boss-like creatures at you constantly :/
