broie Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 can anybody recommend some lesser known 360 or xbla titles or some I may have simply missed, preferably a mostly offline title, just tried mgs collection but its not my cup of tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakisbac Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I just took a look at the games on my shelf, and I don't know if the following count as obscure but they are, in my opinion, underrated: Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Mirror's Edge, and Enchanted Arms.

WOLFkraut Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Metro 2033. I don't know why, but this game really pulled me in and now I'm so hyped for Last Light. The game is very underrated and not well known, kinda has a small cult following. It's an FPS, but with a lot of story and RPG elements set in post-apocalyptic Moscow, it's also single-player only. Worth a try, I'm sure you can find it pretty cheap now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickinOnaChain Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Blacksite: Area 51 and Timeshift are my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onelastbreath Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Mirror's Edge and Metro 2033 were both fantastically underrated games. Loved them both. Oh and Singularity to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qonok Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 There were a few that I thought were good like: Alpha Protocol Dead to Rights: Retribution Divinity 2 Metro: 2033 MorphX Prey Singularity The Saboteur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecadentBeaver Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 The games I've played that I thought were very under rated Prey - some online achievements, but easy boosted. Story wise, its a great concept. Earth Defense Force 2017 - grab a co op partner and have fun on 53 levels killin giant alienm insects. The boss level on inferno setting is just stupidly hard, it will have you laughing. Mirrors Edge - a bit of fun parkour to be had heren, plus bright colours if you like that sort of thing. Time trials are a pain though. Metro 2033 - short game, but very atmospheric and a fantastic finale. You will enjoy. Hot Wheels - sort of like Micro Machines, all offline. Shame there was no online, could have been fun. Two Worlds 1 or 2 - first got slated, but I loved it. The sequel never got a UK release, so I got the Velvet GoTY edition imported. People will complain about the dlc being expensive. But the SP add on is HUGE! Can't think of anymore but if I do I'll list them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's a really good, funny game imo. So if you haven't played it I would highly recommend it. It's not for everyone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildmn34 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Looking at what people have already said, not sure I can add anything new. So, I'll throw my hat into some that have already been mentioned. Singularity Metro 2033 Enslaved Blur All really good games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hieroglitch Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 How are any ANY of those obscure titles? Do you really think Rayman Origins was that popular? I didn't think it was, although I loved it and wished it were. I remember it being mostly overlooked at the time, terrible timing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Hawk D Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Another "obscure game" thread full of very non-obscure games. Ugh. See, when I think obscure, I think a game that, when seen on my 'tag, the majority of onlookers will have no idea what it is. Games like Rayman Origins, no matter how lacking in popularity they are, are still in no way "obscure" to anyone who's been active in gaming in recent years. Anyway, of the games I've played: Velvet Assassin is a really good one. WWII-era, Splinter Cell-style gameplay. I'd never heard of it before I saw it in GameStop. And I consider myself pretty tuned in to the gaming world. Create was pretty good. That one appeared then just fell off the radar, but I remembered it and picked it up. GUN is an oldie, but holds up fairly well. You'll feel like you're playing a good Gamecube game. I remember a bit of short-lived hype when it was coming out "back in the day" because it's done by the folks who worked on the Tony Hawk franchise, but it's still pretty good. I also own a bunch I haven't played yet, including: Attack of the Movies 3D Conflict: Denied Ops Crash Time: Autobahn Pursuit Dark Sector Deathsmiles Hour of Victory Infernal: Hell's Vengeance Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia Operation Darkness Race Pro Rise of the Argonauts Soldier of Fortune: Payback Spectral Force 3 The Outfit Vampire Rain There. Those're all the games I own that I've either never heard about before seeing it and buying it or was mentioned way back when but no one talks about and isn't part of a big franchise or has a big name behind it. Take your pick. =D Edited June 1, 2012 by Fire Hawk D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkweather Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) I will second those who said The Saboteur and Divnity 2, both gave me hours of gameplay and were very fun. I will also second GUN, great western shooter and up until Red Dead came out it was the best on Xbox 360, still worth a buy.

Barad Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Blur is the biggest underrated racer ever. Vanquish and Metro 2033 are brilliant too. Edited June 1, 2012 by Barad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkweather Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Just like the underrated some people don't understand the word obscure. Anyway i missed out probably the only racer i truly enjoyed on Xbox 360, Flatout: Ultimate Carnage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
