Let's make a list of great games that people have commonly missed. I will try to keep a running list here in the original post based on responses to this thread. Perhaps when the thread has slowed, I will make a proper list and post the URL here.
There are tons of games that get overlooked for all sorts of reasons: they are released at the beginning or end of a console's life cycle, they don't do well with the critics, they are released at crowded times, they are part of limited print runs, etcetera.
Here are some guidelines. Please only list games that can be played today. Do not list MMOs that have already closed up shop. Please list the platform along with the title of the game so that we can keep the list organized. *New guideline*: As suggested, I will only add a game to the list if I receive suggestions from two of you for that game for quality control purposes. As a result, suggest any game you want that is not on the list even if it has been suggested. If I agree with a game posted, I will provide the second suggestion and add it to the list.
My list is heavily inspired by the Rebel FM game club with some of my own tossed in for good measure. I'll get things started.
