GameSpy's 25 Most Underrated Games

Posted by simoniker on from the most-thingie-of-thingie dept.

Decaffeinated Jedi writes "GameSpy.com just posted the final installment of its 25 Most Underrated Games of All Time feature. What under-appreciated classics made the list? Well, titles like Zork Zero, Ico, and Sly Cooper all make the cut. This most recent countdown is a follow-up to GameSpy's 25 Most Overrated Games of All Time piece from a couple of weeks ago." Although the 'X Most X' series sometimes draws howls of derision, it does still pinpoint some interesting choices.

    ...and to make the lameness filter happy I'm going to have to type in a bunch of stuff since, "Your comment has too few characters per line (currently 7.3)." And some more BS goes here 'cuz "Your comment has too few characters per line (currently 9.4).". Even more because 10.9 isn't enough either. Of course, I can just abuse the HTML formatting and make the list "one line". Fuck this.
