I plan on making blogs about some of these games as to why these games are so good, yet their rarely mentioned within the gaming community, but this list will serve for what might be a preview to a series of blogs tentatively called Where's the Praise? Here is a list of games that come off of my mind as underrated games and write down quick comments about each game. If I can get my blog going, write about each game one or two at a time. Enjoy! Though let me worn you, the number of past generation games outweighs the number of current generation games, so my list isn't even in older and newer games.

1. Age of MythologyAge of Mythologyhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Age_of_MythologyOpens wiki page
When you think of games from the late and great Ensemble Studios, you think of Age of Empires II: Age of Kings or even Halo Wars for 360 users. While Age of Mythology isn't as well remembered, I think its just as good as Age of Kings.
2. Star Wars: Episode I - RacerStar Wars: Episode I - Racerhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Star_Wars_Episode_I_RacerOpens wiki page
Honestly, I've never had more fun with a racing game than this. Seriously this was kind of Star Wars racing game taking elements from F-Zero, but becomes a good game on its own.
3. Sid Meier's Pirates!: Live the LifeSid Meier's Pirates!: Live the Lifehttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Sid_Meiers_Pirates_Live_the_LifeOpens wiki page
The remake from 2004 to clarify, not the first installment. This was a great game, but this rarely got as much attention as other PC titles in 2004 (Half-Life 2, World of Warcraft, Sims 2, etc.).
4. Wario Land 3Wario Land 3https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Wario_Land_3Opens wiki page
Why does everyone I know not remember the World Land games? Specifically 3, that game was the SHIT for the GB Color!
5. Wario Land 4Wario Land 4https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Wario_Land_4Opens wiki page
I may compare Wario Land 3 to 4 in a versus blog if people want me to do that. Both rock!
6. Armed and DangerousArmed and Dangeroushttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Armed_and_DangerousOpens wiki page
This might be one of the weirdest games I've ever played, but damn is it fun. What other game lets you shoot sharks into the ground to eat enemy soldiers!?
Some may not think of this game as underrated, but I do considering that when we think of titles to get for the PS3, most people would point to games like God of War 3, LittleBigPlanet, and Uncharted 2. THis doesn't seem to get as much attention.
8. Final Fantasy Tactics AdvanceFinal Fantasy Tactics Advancehttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Final_Fantasy_Tactics_AdvanceOpens wiki page
The GBA had a great lineup of turn based strategy games. I feel this isn't as well renowned as Advance Wars or Fire Emblem, but it should.
9. NCAA Football 06NCAA Football 06https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/NCAA_Football_06Opens wiki page
I'll probably cover the whole NCAA Football franchise, but I'll definitely refer to what I think is the best iteration of the franchise
10. The Simpsons: Hit & RunThe Simpsons: Hit & Runhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/The_Simpsons_Hit_And_RunOpens wiki page
The greatest Simpsons video game ever made was a GTA knockoff, but a good one at that. There should be a sequel to this, but I don't think it will ever happen it.
