Hidden Gems ▼
If you're reading this, know that this account was created solely for the purpose of identifying enjoyable titles that went under the radar for whatever reason. If you're bored and want to grab a cheap game that you've never heard of, this may be the place to find out whether that game is actually any good.
Sure, reviews on IGN or GameFAQs may not view a particular title as a worthy purchase, but reviews never tell the full story. Not everyone will write a review and those who do may not always judge it correctly, thus giving a game a misleading score. Perhaps there was a single element in a game that the reviewer couldn't comprehend, so they gave it a low rating because their intellect (well, lack thereof) simply could not guide them through the process of understanding what was going on. Then, pride gets in the way, so they don't tell you this in their review and end up creating some outlandish or even subtle lie about the game to make themselves look credible. And as a result, this may very well drive down the average review score of a game drastically, making passersby believe that the game really isn't that great before they even have a chance to see it.
However, that's just one example of how a game can become lost in oblivion. There are others of course, but this is a pretty widespread issue, at least from what I've seen.

The games that are put up here aren't always decided by one person, although it will start out that way. I'll be looking for feedback from others to help add chips to this pile, so to speak. So, if you know of a game no one has heard of or isn't very popular that you genuinely enjoy, drop a comment and the game may get added. As more people see that these games may actually be worth while, I'll note that in the game's Online Info field, assuming they come back here to confirm that it is indeed a good game.
