Split/Second's developers have pitched their new racing IP as the kind of video game that Jerry Bruckheimer might design. After just under an hour at its controls you can see why. Black Rock Studio's new racer boasts some of the most visceral action we've ever seen in a game of its type. In its all-to-brief hands-on demo, Split/Second launches an all-out assault on our audio and visual senses. Cars hurtle over jumps, drift around corners, bash into barriers and go flying through the air, scattering bits of themselves all over the tracks. The soundtrack is a mix of squealing tyres, screaming engines (apparently augmented by actual lion roars) and pounding drum and bass.
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.
Totally agree, Alice the Madness Returns was good, and Split Second mentioned in the article was not bad as well
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.
I bought it during a sale for $5. It’s fun for a while. Funny at times. I think if you are in the mood you’ll enjoy it.
