Mrs Nesbitt from GamersFTW writes: "The video-game industry has been non-stop for many, many years, so it doesn’t come to a surprise that some titles are just forgotten about. Some of these titles upon release have a lot of hype and publicity but then mysteriously fade into obscurity. It’s sad, but there has to be reasons behind this Bermuda triangle of the gaming world. Let’s take a look at some titles that we just don’t remember."
If you are looking for a bargain, check out the huge discounts across the entire WatchDogs series on Steam.
Back in 2016, Turtle Rock announced that support for its 4v1 monster-hunting shooter Evolve would end but fans wouldn't let it die.
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
A little too soon to have forgotten Watch Dogs, Titanfall and Evolve - most gamers have just moved on.
Would add the hugely underplayed Freedom Fighters and the best local multi player game ever: Mashed. Seriously, don't knock it until you've tried it.
I agree with Titanfall, there was just something about it. It came to something when they were practically pushing it on people in an Xbox bundle. To be honest, some of those I haven't even heard of so I guess they belong right there on the list.
There are just so many games that get made that it's impossible to get around to looking at all of them, let alone remembering them. It's certainly a shame that some titles end up getting overlooked or forgotten, simply because a different game takes it place. Particularly true for games like Watch Dogs and Evolve that had so much hype before their release. Hype is often the problem though, as people end up expecting something really amazing and anything short of that ends up leading to disappointment. Hype is essentially good for initial sales, but will make a game flop if it isn't as good as it promised.
‘Bermuda triangle of the gaming world.’ – Nice phrase.
Didn’t Haze have a really good development company behind it? It had some awful writing though, I remember playing it and laughing.
I think I still own that Spider-Man game! And you're right, I totally forgot about it.
I think the only reason why I have never forgotten Haze is because whilst working for GAME we had such a high volume of trade-ins of the game, our stockroom became Haze central. No idea why...
