LiveWii writes : "The Wii MotionPlus has opened the door to a new era for Wii, a return ticket in the baptismal funds. The promise of a faithful recognition, that of the 1:1, opened the way to the most insane hopes, from a Star Wars where never the combat would not have been so realistic to more immersive games. But it would be almost contemptible to omit one of the new franknesses freshest from the support, the one which would almost make us pass the pill of lacking Professor Layton : Zack & Wiki itself..."
"What if Capcom decides to make an announcement of a sequel ? That is the start of our point of view..."
"For one reason or another, certain games simply aren't as revered as they should be so I asked our staff and friends of the site what they think the most underrated game of all time is and here's what we had to say." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums

1. Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky
2. King of Dragons
3. Project: Snowblind
4. Kirby: Canvas Curse
5. Jazz Jack Rabbit 2
6. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
7. Jojos Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle
8. ZHP: Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman
9. Axelay
10. Liero
11. Bloody Roar 2
12. Ridge Racer: Slipstream
13. Fracture
14. Ninja Gaiden Shadow
15. Dead Space: Extraction
Underrated gems?
* Legend of Heroes - A Tear of Vermillion
* Goemon - Mystical Ninja 64
* Nostalgia = DS rpg similar to old school FF/DQ games.
*.......Too many others to list, My list could easily be 300+ games. I've been gaming since atari 2600 in the late 80's, so I've played a ton of hidden gems.
ohhh just remember possibly the most hidden gem.....
Mappy Land for NES.......not mappy world.....Mappy Land = awesome game.
Kotaku: "Adventure games began as some of the earliest attempts at bridging novels and gameplay. The best of them challenge notions of traditional story-telling and immerse players into the narrative with quirky characters and puzzle-solving. This list explores the obscure adventure games that deserve sequels. Any adventure games that already have sequels won't be considered."

''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)
Really liked WWE All Stars, never got to play it online as the servers went down by the time I picked it up.
I would love to see Zack & Wiki 2. Not sure it will happen though. But if there could be a new one in the series I would buy it just like the first. I love adventure games and Zack & Wiki was great. So if TGS brings news of a new one that is awesome news.
z&w was a great game, most fun use of wii controls I experienced, a very charming game. Some of the puzzles were quite fiendish too. Great music and visuals, I'd love to see a sequel.
I would love to see Z&W on PS3 with the motion controlller. I have it on Wii (one of my 1st games) and some of it is bad because of the control response. I'd rather enjoy it in a true 1:1 fashion.
typikal82 > That's why I've talked about the use of the Wii MotionPlus who could give a much better gameplay to the game.
Zack and Wiki? So what ... you have to make a porno that contains a ton of interesting but factually inaccurate information?
