“Overlooked Titles of 2010” or “Recommendations Please!”

I recently came across this article on 1UP regarding some of the most overlooked games of 2010. Sure we have all played (and reveled in the supreme glory of Red Dead Redemption, and Cataclysm, and Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood and all the other blockbuster titles that came out this year. But what of the sleeper hits? Games that was undeniably well-conceived, developed and executed, but just couldn’t generate the hype or get enough of a favorable rating?

One such game that I have been championing for some time has been Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and sure as day, that title was part of the list that 1UP compiled. Some of the other titles on the list that I am aware of but never bothered to check were:

• Deadly Premonition
• Darksiders
• Hoard
• Cave Story
• Alpha Protocol

I am wondering if any of you guys have played these games, what you have to say about them, and if you think they are worthy investment’s of my time.
