there have been many incredible games
that received full recognition for their
brilliance by critics but went unnoticed
by gamers welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re taking a look at the top 5
overlooked games of this generation you
didn’t even know of our existence to
join number 5
Mirror’s Edge it was the most original
release of 2008 however Mirror’s Edge
was unfortunate enough to find itself
lost in a sea of generic titles and
big-name sequels from its high concept
gameplay to its stylized platformer
acrobatics this game was packaged in a
unique first-person perspective with
some of the most stunning visuals
available for the home console as
futuristic courier faith it is your
mission to deliver mystery packages
across the dystopian City landscape
while karate kicking everyone who stands
in your way
tragically few gamers understood what EA
was aiming for and a collected dust on
store shelves
despite providing the originality and
free flow gameplay design gamers have
been vocally demanding the problem is
the only votes that count are the number
of copies sold number for the club what
happens when developer Bizarre Creations
takes the mechanics of its racing game
and applies them to a third-person
shooter you get the club a shooter that
chucks complex narrative in exchange for
an arcade experience that changed
together combos and focuses on high
scores dismissed by first-time players
as shallow and repetitive gamers missed
the entire point the club is about
replaying levels over and over again to
hone your technique master the flow of
the map and perfect your marksmanship it
isn’t about cutscenes or narrative it’s
a thrilling shooting gallery that asks
you to master it as efficiently as
possible
our ethos is simple kill
Oh be killed number three mad world
while gamers continue to demand a title
that is completely fresh they keep
buying the same old sequels favoring
safety over originality this sealed the
fate of Sega’s mad world amateur rated
action title for the Wii that delivered
a startling different visual style which
sadly hid the fact that it’s a great
beat em up underneath its dark shades in
matte world players are set loose to
navigate various parts of an island that
have been converted into the sets of a
brutal reality game show called death
watch make sure your mommy’s on speed
dial because it’s time for a mad world
and despite progressing through the
levels in a linear fashion you can
revisit them in any time to score more
points or raise the difficulty number to
brutal legend not sure but I like how
that sounds
despite mixed opinions Tim Schafer’s
rock opera adventure epic is a fun and
original production that fell to the
bottom of the bargain bins this unique
romp offered something completely
different and star Jack Black as Eddie
rigs a roadie who is transported to a
fantasy world inspired by the artwork of
heavy metal album covers there he must
become the world Savior by leading the
humans against its supernatural
overlords so you the keeper the sacred
beer tree dream job it’s disheartening
to see that even top-notch production
values and voice talent which includes
that of Ozzy Osbourne couldn’t lure in
an audience an apparently heavy metal
isn’t a genre that everyone is willing
to give a chance
number one The Chronicles of Riddick
assault on Dark Athena what happens when
you give gamers two great games for the
price of one apparently nothing
including a remastered copy of the 2004
hit escape from butcher Bay on the same
disc assault on Dark Athena once again
starred Vin Diesel as the Furion with
the shiny eyes continuing where it’s
excellent predecessor left off this
first-person stealth shooter similarly
wooed critics who praised it for its
excellent production values and design
featuring Riddick’s capture by a
gigantic mercenary vessel the baritone
voice killer must sneak through the ship
and find a route of escape all while
fighting off the guards and find their
obsessive leader along the way
ironically
Dark Athena seemed to be hiding in the
shadows and was passed over by potential
players as well Kiani Riddick

they end up dead
these games have been recognized for
delivering some of the most unique and
developed play experiences this
generation miraculously these titles are
just the tip of the iceberg when it
comes to top-notch and original
experiences that have been skipped over
by an unsuspecting gaming public
