ConnectedConsoles: There were many games at this year's Eurogamer Expo; many of them largely anticipated titles. Though one game that may not have been on many people's must play list was the upcoming racer from Black Rock Studios, Split/Second. Personally I was rather looking forward to it, as Black Rock Studios first current gen title, Pure wasn't a bad game at all. After a quick walk around the plaza that housed this year's expo, down in the basement was Split/Second, in the middle of the room with about eight stations available to play it on. After a wait of about 10 minutes I finally got my hands on the controller and started my three laps of the track.
What are some of the greatest hidden games? Some titles are so unexpectedly good or obscure, gamers may have missed out!

"When you first started playing Spec Ops: The Line , you might feel that it’s just another brainless third person shooter, and some parts are kind of boring, that’s what I thought as well, but I was really into shooter games so I finished it and I was totally impressed by its story, don’t worry not spoilers, If you want to know why this game is on the list, and you are interested in good stories, go play it and pay attention to the plot, you will agree my opinion afterwards."
The Saboteur was great, nice art style and such a good soundtrack. Hunted was cool but very flawed.
Alice the Madness Returns is still really cool for those who like the premise. The original Dead Space holds up well. Catherine has aged incredibly well. The Suda 51 games are all still great if you can dig quirkiness (Shadows of the damned, Lollipop Chainsaw, Killer is dead). There are lots more, many have had remasters already though.
I always felt that Saboteur was under appreciated, I really did like that game a lot. It was a real shame when Pandemic got shut down.

Or should they just be left in the past whilst we concentrate on the deluge of triple A and Indie titles coming our way over the coming months? Sit back as we take a look at what is on offer."
Split Second is better than all the other games combined including the PS+ lineup.
