When
you hear about the hype of a new game, you get stoked about it.
Shortly after its release, the game is given critical acclaim and
some critics even state that it is “the game of the year” before
you even get to buy it. A game might can have potential to be the
best game of the year, but it only gets attention because of the
publicity behind it. The game was advertised, trailers were made,
news surrounding it appeared on popular sites, and the finished
product was satisfactory for its intended audiences.
Yet,
some of these games seem “overrated.” The idea that something is
overrated is that it has gotten so much attention that you don't want
to hear about it anymore. Either that, or you don't think it is quite
as good as the majority says it is. There are also “underrated”
games out there. The games that are really good, but are unpopular
and never seem to reach the eyes and ears of people who might just
like it. So I ask you: what is an underrated title that you think is
good?
For
me, it would be Radiata Stories. I found out about this reading Game
Informer a long time ago. It appeared as a magazine ad and nothing
else. It looked like a fun RPG, but I didn't give it much though.
Then I saw it sitting on shelves in Wal-mart. Out of spontaneity I
bought it. I am glad I decided to play it because it was one of the
best games I have ever experienced on the PS2. I let a friend borrow
it after I finished and he thought it was the best game ever! I even
wrote a review for it. You can find it here: http://multiplayerfanatics.com/index.php/topic/434-radiata-stories/
