"Don't be fooled by the guns and the explosion... The Club isn't actually a third person shooter at all. Really, it's a very cleverly disguised beat-em-up; Tekken with all the regular moves left out and just the special combos remaining...
Unfortunately, like most beat-em-ups, The Club is also a love-it-or-hate-it affair... The experience players have with The Club depends more on the gamers themselves than the game and, just as some people love Virtua Fighter but hate Dead or Alive, so too will players of The Club become divided.
If practice makes perfect is your motto and you love honing your skills to a razor edge then The Club could be the best investment you make all year. If you're the type of gamer to learn all the cool combos in Soul Calibur or you can manual forever in the latest Tony Hawk's then this is the game for you... On the other hand, if you prefer games that you only need play once or with stories that occupy more than the head of a matchstick, then you may want to give The Club a miss. It's not a bad game by any measure – but it isn't for everyone."

''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.
I shockingly liked the demo very much. I'll get this.
Actually reminds me of a "3-D Hogans Alley" lol..
i don't know what the writer means about "stories that occupy more than the head of a matchstick" but i take it that isn't a positive phrase. that being said, i'm a very story driven gamer and like great plots in the games i play, so i might just give this a rent only
