Game Informer - I played a lot of Metropolis Street Racer on my Dreamcast, and I made a point of playing anything that Bizarre Creations released from that point on. To this day, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 remains one of my desert-island games (provided the island has electricity). With The Club, the studio skillfully drew upon its racing heritage while incorporating Fur Fighters’ third-person shooting. The result was a speed-based shooting competition that played like nothing before or since.

Back in the mid to late 2000’s, most mobile games were programmed in Java, and were usually linked to bigger console releases.'.

''For every blockbuster title that garners high praise and sales, there a number of games that fly under the radar. There’s plenty of great titles that have plenty to offer but, for numerous reasons, never get the love and attention they deserve. This isn’t the definitive list of the most overlooked games; it’s merely a look at few of them.''
I'm glad Chinatown Wars is there. This is one of the best GTAs in the series. Right up there with 5 and SA. Get the DS version. You won't be disappointed. Also like to add that the wanted system in GTACTW is by far my favorite of any GTA.
I think mine would be
Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom
Tastunoko V Capcom
House of the Dead Overkill
Deadly Premonition
Sam and Max
Honestly I think this last gen had a lot of overlooked titles or at least titles that didn't see the amount of sales they should have. It makes me worry for the future of the current generation.
The Club might have been a new idea , but it doesnt mean that all of those are good .
And Deadly preomonition was hardly overlooked . It's a game that had a bigger than expected and deserved success based on the weird hype "that's it so bad you gotta play it and gonna love it" (an opinion i dont share)
Since the game came out I've been trying to get EVERYONE to play it, thus it popped up on this list, it's still not very well known in the UK
Really liked WWE All Stars, never got to play it online as the servers went down by the time I picked it up.
Hell yea, it was so fun in an oldschool mentality sorta way. Some of these Cult Classics choices are bit WTF for me, but this one deserves it.
I only played the demo, but had fun with it. I do lament the loss of these arcadey type of games and I think we can do with some more of them.
Sheesh...there's quite a list of other Cult Classics on GI. I remember hearing about this game, but forgot to keep this on my radar when it released. Don't think I've even looked at any review for it.
So underrated.
I remember playing the demo for this game, just never got around to buying it
