I second this motion. I loved it too

I can vouch for Sanitarium. Russian game [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Void_(video_game)]"The Void"[/url] is awesome.

Oh there's also Robosaurus vs the Space Bastards, though maybe it's not criminally overlooked, just overlooked and unknown to most.

I got the same "snapping sound" in both Windows XP and Win7 as in that Youtube video. I've yet to try it if I get it also on genuine Win98SE system, but apart from the intro music where it is quite audible, it isn't that bad IMHO during the gameplay, and I could get used to it.

But to the ultra speed, I can't get used to. :)

After playing this game for the first four missions, I can safely say: Trapped Dead.
I know it's only an indie title, plus it is included in the Indie Gala so maybe people do know about the game, but before buying the gala I held back purchasing the game separately despite its interesting setting because of its low metascore (only 50), and poor reviews. It's bashed for technical issues and such, but I thoroughly enjoy it nevertheless. Sure, it's very stiff, sometimes the controls are unresponsive, the voice acting is AWFUL and therefor, although it's trying to be serious, the game has a certain campy vibe that I think isn't intentional. But despite these problems, I really like the game! You've gotta be careful conserving ammo or you'll be in trouble; the teammates have limited inventory space so you gotta organize, and you'll need to avoid larger battles because it's easy to get overwhelmed and lose lots of health unnecessarily.

I know there's Dead Rising and Dead Island and what not, but out of the zombie games I've played, this one feels the most like a genuine zombie apocalypse survival game. I wonder how the co-op is, now that I have three characters and not just, you know, myself. I've got the shotgun surgeon, a mexican pistolero and a fat sheriff with an axe, who will finish the zombies I shoot to their knees with the mexican guy.

Another one I forgot about:

Solar Winds

I'm not even sure it was very good, but I played the shareware version many years ago and enjoyed it.

And another:

Shadowcaster.

I'll second the whole post -- since you named every game I would have (and a few I didn't remember), I'm going to trust your judgement on the rest as well.

Funny, I recently saw a review about this game, will post link here. =)

Please people no lists, see my OP. =)

Lazy Game Reviews.

Brofist.

NAM! NAM! NAM! NAM! You're awesome! But where's Freakin' Funky Fuzzballs?

I wouldn't say that either of those games are overlooked. However, they are both fantastic. Especially Condemned.

Personally I'd list Timeshift as being pretty overlooked and/or underrated. Chasm: The Rift and Vivisector: Beast Inside (both made by the same guys who did Cryostasis) are both loads of fun, if a little rough around the edges, and deserve to be played more.

Iji is a freeware game, and its one of the coolest platformers iv ever played (freeware or not). Its kindv like what deus ex might be like as a platformer:

Cybermage: Darlight Awakening. To be honest, never played this one before but got curious about it after seeing some videos. As far as I can tell, seems like a mix of 2.5D Shooter with RPG. Cool comic-book character and scenario design as well. The futuristic setting reminded me of Ranxerox for some reason.
