The demo offered at PAX East for Hunted: The Demon’s Forge was a short one, but that doesn’t make it any less satisfying. The demo was two player co-op on Xbox 360 with each player taking on the role of one of the main characters. When my time to play came about I took control of the female character E’Lara, a deadly elf who’s focus was more around ranged combat than her male companion. The demo was centered heavily around combat with the players running through a short section of the game that lasted about 20 minutes.

"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.

Forbes: At the PAX East Composer’s Panel, an interesting question was posed to composer Kevin Riepl: aside from Aliens: Colonial Marines, had he ever poured so much time and work into a soundtrack only to have the game suck or go largely unnoticed? When a game does as poorly as Aliens: Colonial Maries did, critically, it’s very rare that people then attempt to hunt down the soundtrack. Likewise, when a game releases to a mediocre or lukewarm fanfare, the soundtrack rarely sees publication.
