Simple enough, really. What games do you feel were underrated / didn't get enough exposure?
Here's some off the top of my head:
Giants Citizen Kabuto for the PC: Pretty great game with three entirely different races (Not just different weapons -literally entirely different-) and a pretty sweet campaign mode. It got good reviews, but alas, faired poorly, and what should have been a classic like HL is something nobody has heard of. One of the lead devs is working on a spiritual successor (First Wonder), which is cool.
Armed & Dangerous for the PC: Sequel to above game. No multiplayer, but a hilarious game with guns that shoot Land Sharks, tea drinking gladiator robots, and generally a ton of humor. Was hilarious and one of the games I grew up with. Got good ratings IIRC but, again, suffered from a lack of exposure. Was the last (and second) PC game the company made before moving to PSP and console games.
Caster: Amazing 3$ indie game with a sweet trance soundtrack and some of the best controls I've seen in a game. Once you upgrade your jump to max you can almost fly and it is probably the most fun I've ever had jumping. The terrain deformation and ability to run on water is pretty cool as well.
Renegade Ops: Pretty sweet top-down shooter released a few years back. Has cool-as-hell graphics and is pretty fun (though admittedly I haven't played too much of it), yet it seems mostly unheard of. Edit: Yeah this game is effing sweet. Vehicle controls are fluid and graphics are gr9. I don't even -like- top down shooters that much.
