9 most overlooked and underrated games of June and July

EX: "Video games are an expensive hobby, particularly if you're a cash-strapped college student who enjoys Modern Warfare 2 marathons and World of Warcraft raids as much as Friday night pub crawls and weekend fraternity parties. Understandably, as a result, it's necessary to be discriminatory when selecting which titles are worth dropping $60 bucks on. More times than not, these games end up being the high profile projects, the ones that are not only top-tier in quality, but highly popular due to rave reviews and tons of marketing."

Persona 3 -- definitely overlooked. My gamestop had two copies.
Singularity -- overlooked. Don't remember seeing one ad for it.
Limbo -- Eh. Too early to call. Looks awesome.
Naughty Bear -- Thought it sucked.
Toy Story 3 -- Too kiddy for my taste.

A few decent games on here, but nothing that screams buy me except, maybe, Persona 3 Portable.

raztad5432d ago

P3P = 93 on metacritic. It is a must play, recommended even if you played the PS2 version.

To me the most glaring is Singularity. I'm constantly amazed at how fun and imaginative this game is, and stunned that Activision left it to die.

SeanRL5432d ago

You're stunned that Activision let one of their games die, really?

Limbo looks hot to me. It does. Style and animations are very slick. But even if they weren't, everyone would swing from its sack because it's 2-d and people think anything retro, simple and throwback = epic!!!!

It's absurd to think this way but this is the mind of the delusional, one dimensional gamer. It's like that one game where you play as a condom in a woman's vagina. Everyone is swinging on that games sack and it's stupid. For what? Why? Because it deals with a taboo topic and it's 2-d, throwback/retro. Gamers are predictable.

The one where you're supposed to shoot sperm and keep HIV from getting past you?

That game was actually kinda addicting, haha.

Lavalamp5432d ago

Persona 3 definitely deserves more recognition. I'd also like to add Blazblue: Continuum Shift to that list. I think it'll slip under a lot of people's radars when it's released later in the month.

One of the few 7th gen game that I'll full heartedly support for a remake.
Its a very unique RPG and deserves its faults fixed the 2nd time.

TheNamelessOne340d ago

I would be so for this. Alpha Protocol is the definition of a diamond in the rough. Before being acquired by Microsoft, Obsidian presented their ideas for a sequel, multiple times, but were always shot down. Even something simple like a remaster is very unlikely.

ZeekQuattro340d ago

Still have a physical copy for my PS3. Clunky at times but I had a lot of fun with it back in the day.

TheColbertinator340d ago

Had some issues but that game was brilliant.
