Whether you're on a muddy quad bike or behind the wheel of a juiced-up sports car, there are certain things that are always on your mind while playing a racing game. There are your rivals to consider - particularly that persistent pest who always shunts you out of the way on the last stretch. There's that killer hairpin that always catches you out, and the constant tick-tick-tick of the clock as the potential for glory slowly ebbs away. In Split/Second you'll once again have to deal with these things, but you'll also have to deal with other problems: exploding roads, collapsing overpasses and jumbo jets that crash headfirst into your humble vehicle.
What are some of the greatest hidden games? Some titles are so unexpectedly good or obscure, gamers may have missed out!

"When you first started playing Spec Ops: The Line , you might feel that it’s just another brainless third person shooter, and some parts are kind of boring, that’s what I thought as well, but I was really into shooter games so I finished it and I was totally impressed by its story, don’t worry not spoilers, If you want to know why this game is on the list, and you are interested in good stories, go play it and pay attention to the plot, you will agree my opinion afterwards."
The Saboteur was great, nice art style and such a good soundtrack. Hunted was cool but very flawed.
Alice the Madness Returns is still really cool for those who like the premise. The original Dead Space holds up well. Catherine has aged incredibly well. The Suda 51 games are all still great if you can dig quirkiness (Shadows of the damned, Lollipop Chainsaw, Killer is dead). There are lots more, many have had remasters already though.
Totally agree, Alice the Madness Returns was good, and Split Second mentioned in the article was not bad as well
I always felt that Saboteur was under appreciated, I really did like that game a lot. It was a real shame when Pandemic got shut down.

Or should they just be left in the past whilst we concentrate on the deluge of triple A and Indie titles coming our way over the coming months? Sit back as we take a look at what is on offer."
Split Second is better than all the other games combined including the PS+ lineup.
I bought it during a sale for $5. It’s fun for a while. Funny at times. I think if you are in the mood you’ll enjoy it.
I don't care for many racing games, but the idea behind this one seems pretty cool!
