Great Underated Games

First and foremost: The Suffering. Criminally underappreciated, you play as a convict recently admitted to a prison on an island with a history of nothing but death (I think its a allegory of Poveglia Island in Italy). The place had become so blood soaked through its history that supernatural manifestations of death begin to surface and slaughter all they see. the game did a great job with atmosphere, story, and creature design is excellent, I have made and am making more custom figures based upon them. Its an xbox original, backward compatible with 360, rated M, One of my all time favorites. its sequel is ok.

Then there is Condemned: Criminal Origins and its sequel Bloodshot. Another great atmosphere game, you play as an FBI detective hunting a serial killer who has framed you for murder in a city that has gone mad. The enemies that would become known in the second game as the Oro, seem to be causing this madness, and their look in the first game is great. In the sequel you play the same agent who slumped into drunken rage after the events of the first game. The sequel looses a few points in some areas (like story) but picks up more than it looses and is equally enjoyable. Both xbox 360, both rated M. Another favorite game of mine.
