Blog Series of Underrated Games (Do You Want Me to Write It?)

For those who haven't seen the only list I made, here's the link:   

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/mocbucket62/underrated-games-from-past-and-current-generations/46-74345/  

Its a list of games I've not only played but feel have fallen under the radar over the years. Some games have came from the past generation like Armed and Dangerous, a third person shooter for the PC by LucasArts, others are portable gems like Age of Empires: Age of Kings for the DS (I bet some of you didn't think that game existed) and a few have came out this generation like Heavy Rain and the UFC Undisputed Games. I also mentioned doing a blog series going over these games that I find pretty damn awesome and write down why I find these games under appreciated. I might even do Versus blogs comparing one game on the list to another similar game that's also on the list (Maybe compare a game on the list to a similar but more popular title). I also have a tentative title for the series called Where's the Admiration, but I have a feeling users on this site will pan it as if its a shitty title. So I'm open for suggestions. If you all think I should do user reviews instead, I'll do that. Also, ask if I've played some other underrated games before and I might write up something about that product. Honestly I really want to do something cool with the games on the list  and making a blog series about these underrated games would get me excited. If you duders think I should do something else with the games on this list, please tell me.

@nintendoeats: Yeah, I'm not going to format it like how I posted it up there, I'll use the Headers to highlight my points about certain games and then briefly go over the point by providing evidence. I'll even put spaces in between each paragraph to make it easier to read.

Age of Empires for the DS was a pretty great Turn-Based strategy game. It's no Advance Wars Dual Strike or anything, but for being that kind of game on that platform it does its job admirably. Heavy Rain though? Lolwut. That game may be a victim of some hype backlash, but I wouldn't call it criminally underrated or anything.

On topic: If your blog posts are well written I will read them. That is the long and short of it.

So you mean underappreciated?

@Video_Game_King: Yeah more like underappreciated games.   

@ArbitraryWater: I may not do Heavy Rain, I was honestly a little skeptical putting that one in, because you're right it did get Backlash, but it certainly was no Age of Empires DS in terms of greatly underappreciated games. I placed that on the list because that was the next current generation game that came to mind as being somewhat underrated. 
 
@Little_Socrates: I'm not sure if I can fund you for you're Kickstarter, I'd like to though. Let me think about it.

It seems I'm not getting a lot of support for making this series of blogs, so I might end up not doing it. Or at least cut down on some games on the list like Heavy Rain and Burnout Revenge.
