Great games that nobody played

I'm wondering how many of these games that are out there, good or even great games that nobody seems to have ever heard of.

Bloodlines for its meticulous writing and great characters.

Gothic 2
Stalker 1

Sacred 2 is definetly one that more people should try. Giant map to explore. The perfect game for those who love loot.

Psi-Ops

Project Snowblind (Maybe biased since I picked this up for $2 new.)

There are loads. But I'll pick some that definitely must be experienced:

The Darkness

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway (only WW2 franchise that's worth it)

Psychonauts + Beyond Good and Evil

Chronicles of Riddick.

Both times :\

Team Buddies, it's a great multiplayer game for the ps1, the sense of humour was right in line when I played it at the time.

" Psi-Ops "

Hotel Dusk: Room 215

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway (only WW2 franchise that's worth it)

Tropico

Earthworm Jim made by Shiny!

Beyond Good & Evil, naturally.

They managed to get a small second wind through acts of desperation.

" Hidden & Dangerous 2.

Really don't have any to add, but I wanna know what systems all these games are for.  Since we're talking about games no one played, is not the purpose of this exercise to get people to play them, and how then can they be played if we know not what systems they're on.
As I'm generally broke, I'm always on the lookout for cheap games, and want to know about the diamonds in the rough, so I've been thinking of doing a thread like this.  I've seen the Darkness for cheap and wonder why it's so cheap.  It looks decent from the demo.  Same with Dark Sector.  I wanna check out Sacred 2 someday, heard decent things.

Im going to say Dark Sector, not a Great game but a game many people just looked over. It had a few interesting game mechanics that made it different and fun, yet there are other mechanics that don't work. If you can pick it up cheap suggest playing that game. I got a few others but cant think of em off the top of my head.

Chulip, SMT III: Nocturne, Suikoden 2, Legend of Mana, Persona 1 & 2

the longes jurney and it's sequel dreamfall sold meh.... but both are incredibly well made.
they are some of the best adventure games out there but they didn't sell... too bad funcom... too bad...

I had more fun with the other one... what was it called?Ohh yeah Second Sight. I really enjoyed that one. "

Beyond Good and Evil was awesome, so was Psychonauts, very underrated games.

Psychonauts- Im sure that there have been many more people that have played this, but it was very unknown when it came out.

was Armed and Dangerous popular? regardless pretty old game that I really liked that not many talk about one of the greats imo

Beyond Good or Evil.

The Darkness

playing it right now again, it's fucking awesome. :D

• Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy - The game itself wasn't fantastic, but the telekinetic powers in that game are still by far the best and more enjoyable this industry has seen. The levels were also designed well to make good use of these powers, which created lots of cool and memorable gaming moments. I think the game really started going a bit downhill towards the end, unfortunately.
  
• The Darkness - This is one incredible and surprisingly unique game. I have almost nothing but praise for it. Top notch all the way. Some of the most impressive visuals I've ever seen. Great voice acting, stellar art-style, cool story. It's totally superb. I highly recommend this one and wish more people would play it.
  
• The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay - This was also by Starbreeze, who made The Darkness, and boy was it something. Maybe expectations just weren't too high since it's a game based off of a movie, but not only did it deliver, it raised the bar for it's genre. It brought fresh, bright new ideas to the table, and man was it good! It was stellar in so many ways. I look forward to playing the new remake on 360.
• Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - I'm sorry to have to add this one to the list, but last I heard it wasn't doing so hot in sales. It's a shame because it's an excellent game and I still praise it as being the Wii's finest. It might not quite be up to the level of the original Metroid Prime, but very few games are. It adds enough new stuff to keep the game fresh and shows off plenty of new and varied places for Samus to explore. The action is solid, the boss fights are excellent. The whole package is worth your time and money.
  
• Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts - I could be wrong about this one, but from what I can tell, it hasn't performed nearly as good as it should have. A whole lot of people won't bother with it because of the new focus on vehicles, but really, the game is innovative in many ways and really can be quite a great community game where people can share vehicles or even stream best times for missions and learn from each other. The vehicles add a lot to the depth of the game and allow a lot of freedom in how to approach many of the challenges. It's a fun and interesting take on the Banjo franchise.
  

the new ghostbuster game. Online is already dead.

DJ Max Trilogy > you

Okami.

psychonauts is the only one i can think of right now......duh and okami....

Clive Barker's Undying?

This is what I came in here to post. The first game is one of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had, and Dreamfall, whilst not as good as it's predecessor, was still a great game. I also really enjoyed Syberia from the same genre.Speaking of adventure games I'm just thinking about playing The Dig or Beneath a Steel Sky at the moment, which one does GiantBomb recommend? "

I extremely rare ever meet anyone who has played the Deception series games, especially the first: Tecmo's Deception. Fantastic games.

" Earthworm Jim made by Shiny! "

Earthworm Jim was pretty popular no? Hold on, I just saw this mentioned above, sorry. 

I am going with The Darkness, I don't think many people played it.

Neverhood

It's from the Earthworm Jim guys, and had revolutionary claymation graphics. Excellent and quirky humour and characters. 

Moon for the DS, a FPS made by Renegade Kid

The Darkness, Syberia & Syberia 2 are the only ones that comes to mind.

Legend of Dragoon.
