Some of these games were really overlooked. I still have my copies of The Darkness and both Condemned games. I'll have to give a few of these a shot.

1. How could you say Kirby Canvas Curse is better than Super Star Ultra!! I know you're wrong, because I have them both!!
2. You're completely right about Civilization Revolution and Link's Crossbow Training.
3. Too bad I'm an American, I can't play Dark Mist.

Freedom Fighters for the PS2 was definitely an under-rated game

What makes it really sad is that finding these games in retail stores is really tough; since nobody bought them, nobody's selling them anymore.

And I really wanted that Ninja Town game, but I can't find it..

i played the demo to dark sector and really enjoyed it...but then u guys said it wasnt very good so i focused of getting another game...and i would say that dark sector is the only game to effectively use the ps3 sixaxis

...but CROMEHOUNDS is absolutely dreadful. I's basically just random grey boxes places around a desert for the most part.

The funny thing is that I own half of these and my friends mock me for buying "shit" games likes these. Isnt the point of a game having fun? And not to impress others with your collection of all rated 9 or higher games?

I can vouch for EDF 2017. It's like they designed one hundred ridiculous weapons, the very weakest of which would make a US Marine cry with joy, and then had to build a game up to that much dakka.

It's not enough dakka, but the shortage is perhaps less acuate than in other games. It is redonkulously good fun.

some of these games i wana get but i just dont have alot of money but i did buy resistance 2 at launch and loved the hell out of it.

There was a last-gen game I really like called Breakdown. First-Person, all the way through the game. It takes it more in-depth than most, allowing you to grab onto ledges, making you reach out and pick up/open/use things, and some pretty awesome 1st person hand to combat.

I half expected Okami to be slipped in there somewhere under the Wii version

Also The Darkness is probably the best game I've ever played. With it's low price I expect all of you to play it
