Steve Haske writes, "God of War, Gran Turismo, Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption, Mario Galaxy—2010 had a lot of really big titles, inevitably leaving some of the smaller games released overshadowed, swept under the rug or just forgotten about. Here's a look at a few worthwhile games you didn't play that you probably should."
Dude, all these games were awful.
Worst list ever
If you want over-looked gems try good games like 3d dot heroes, sengoku basara, metro 2033 or darksiders. These are all terrible.
Nier was not awful at all. Great game, totally overlooked.
Lame games, do NOT buy.
don't forget Vanquish and Enslaved!!! and I coul put here Bayonetta, man..Vanquish and Bayonetta are ones of the best in this gen.. :)
