In your opinion, which game on GOG is the most underrated and least represented title? By least represented, I am primarily referring to user created media such as Youtube videos, walkthroughs, or whatever else.

I ask this for two reasons. One is obviously pure curiosity of what people believe this to be. The second reason is, I am in the mood for a personal project of some sort. I was thinking about grabbing a game that could use more notice, and posting either random gameplay videos or some sort of "Let's Play" series.

Obviously, this is still a bit up in the air and depends on how my personal time schedule works out, but I would love some input on games if I am able to follow through with this. I think it would be both fun and interesting to bring more attention to great games that are being overlooked by the general public.

So, in your opinion, amongst the many great titles here, which one seems to be the most underrated and overlooked title by others?
You mean like Original war, which is really awesome but got horrible reviews for some reason? One of the best RTS I have ever played, that's for sure

Original War is a good one - I didn't even know what it was until recently.

I'd also add Beyond Good & Evil but that gained a lot of publicity for being underrated.

Original War all the way.

I would also cautiously mention a Judge Dredd game, although that one is... not for everyone's taste.
Psychonauts is so often stated as the most underrated game ever that it's probably more over hyped than underrated these days.

I'd probably suggest something like Giants Citizen Kabuto.

+1
Kingdom: The Far Reaches?
A year ago I would have said Beyond good and evil, but it has got some well deserved recognition now with the HD update and possibility of a sequel. As it stands now I would also say that PsychoNauts / is probably the most underrated game here.
Bloodrayne seems to be a popular punching bag for people who haven't played it.
XIII and Bloodrayne.
Thanks so far for the suggestions. Will definitely consider all of those and add them to the list of choices. Makes me laugh a bit seeing Original War mentioned so much, only because despite my enjoyment of RTS games, that is also my worst genre in terms of personal skill. Then again, that would probably add to the amusement of any videos I made.

All sound good so far though, thanks! Pretty much exactly what I was after
Seven Kingdoms 1 or 2?

They're basically what I'd been wishing Age of Empires had been. They're in the style of an RTS, but the focus is not on the military. Militaries are actually fairly simply modeled. The real fun (and it is, trust me) is in resource control, setting up markets, and exerting influence on other factions and independents. There's also an interesting espionage mechanic that can allow you to, given enough money, slowly erode the workforce or military of a rival.

But, because it isn't a clickfest rushing game with 20 different units that kill things (not that there's anything wrong with that), it never took off. Wait for a sale and grab either one. Personally, I loved the first, and got the second from GOG and have been trying it out.

I just started the tutorial for Seven Kingdoms Conquest today - looks like a typical RTS but I also heard elsewhere that it was meant to be 4X - Does the tutorial not cover the Explore and Exploit features?
In my opinion Sacrifice doesn't get the recognition it deserves, given how innovative and fun it is.
Lords of the Realm

That is all
