Demon's Souls is a fantastic game. Game of the Year for 2009 in my opinion. Yes, it is unforgiving. No, it is not too hard. If you think the game is too hard then you are doing it wrong. Most people start the game and quit when they die to the first enemy's leap attack. Remember, side-step + back-stab for great justice.
I have to quote this, I haven't seen any commercials or any advertisements, but this game had my soul for a very loooong time. Play, die, progress, rinse and repeat.
Good game, made me rage in the early days. But after you know what's going on it's fairly rewarding. Definitely worth playing.

It's a turn-based game from the age of shareware, supposedly like master of orion (wouldn't know). You tech to get civilization-like technologies, build ships and planet improvements and space improvements. But the cool thing was, you customized all your ships and races and could upgrade the designs so a part had the newest technology - or sometimes a cheaper old technology.

RibbitKing. The only golf (sort of) game I enjoy, mostly because it's flat-out absurd. + Show Spoiler +
Custom Robo. Fairly popular Japanese series that didn't get much life in the States - one GC and one DS release, I believe. Hours of fun in VS Mode. + Show Spoiler +
now with images!
agree with custom robo, really fun game that required a lot of strategy if you dont use the gay illegal parts
Minesweeper. This classic game about a disgruntled ex-technician pitted against a mysterious foe was not very highly rated for its time. However, it was a classic that endured for ages.
It's definitely a forgotten gem, <3 you for mentioning it! The sad part is i never managed to play multiplayer with it i heard it was very good.
Speaking of 4Xgames I would recommend Master of Orion 3, because at a time of release it was full of bugs and lacked many promised features. But after playing it with some community fixes and mods i found it to be very fun.
Also i find rougelike genre to be underrated by normal gamers, yes graphics are kind of bad (only ASCII symbols) but if you use your imagination, it can be mad fun since most rougelikes have very good gameplay, content, and replayability. They are also quite hard, witch is a definitive plus.
my fav's are: ADOM, DoomRL, BerserkRL, and (not really underrated) Dwarf Fortress.
Mount and Blade, best medieval combat game around. Theres no feeling that can compare to fighting off 3 or more guys at once and killing them all, its just so much fun with crazy blocks and swings flying every which way.
Skies of Arcadia Legends for the gamecube. One of the best RPG's i've ever played with a great storyline which a lot of RPG's don't have anymore. Also I know Final Fantasy is a well known series but Final Fantasy VIII is really overlooked.
Ikaruga was already mentioned, so I consider this thread complete. I will probably end up selling off most of my console gaming collection, but I'll never ever part with Ikaruga.
Also, Hotel Dusk: Room 215 is the best game on the DS
Minecraft!? My first impression of when I saw the gameplay wasn't so good. But when I played it (multiplayer), it was so fun and addicting. Now I can't get enough of it.
God Hand is the greatest game ever made. Hated on by reviewers because it was hard, and gaming journalism is full of whiny babies.
Made by Clover Studios, sadly capcom in all their fucked up wisdom decided to close Clover. I haven't purchased a capcom game since Dead rising looks pretty fun.
Yes making more fuckign megaman and other shitty remakes, and stop making fun and unique IPs. I get so mad.
YESSSSS that was so long ago but I remember emulating that when I was younger. My brother downloaded it 'cause he didn't even know what it was and it was SO EPIC.

Its an ultra-tactical RTS game, with almost zero strategy elements. It was ridiculously hard, but yet really rewarding. I loved managing to hold off giant armies with just a mg42 2 shutzen(german infantry) units, 1 panther, and a mortar or two.
I played that a lot, it was a brilliant intense game. Never played against other people though.
I still remember this one time on one of the Stalingrad maps when their Tiger was dominating everything except I hunkered down inside the factory and then I ambushed and owned their Tiger with like my 1 rocketeer when it chased my stuff into the factory and then held the map.
I still remember it cause it was like one of my most triumphant moments, those things were beastly strong that early.
edit: Oh wait, that was in The Russisn Front which was the Close Combat that came right after A Bridge Too Far. They were both awesome though.
