Past that, yep, good list.

Interesting list, I have to admit to not hearing of a couple of them... just not as up on the current games I guess. I picked up Eternal Darkness when I first got my Gamecube back in 2002, I think it was. I remember thinking it was great and playing through it thrice right away since I only had that and that year's NCAA football, though it's sat on the shelf ever since.
But, like others, they went on my to-buy list and wouldn't you know I stopped by EB tonight and picked up a few at the buy 2, get 1 sale. I'd been wanting to get Ikaruga for a while, so I picked up that, Ico and Indigo Prophecy. Now I know what I'll be doing over winter break.
Glad to see ICO and beyond good and evil got a high spot. BG&E deserves every right to hold the #2 position. I also need to get ahold of a copy of psychonaughts myself.
Interestingly, I came here to post Gamepro's "Ten Underappreciated Gems." Might as well do it here, as it seems to be basically a similar list:
1. Ico (PS2)
2. Poy Poy (PSX)
3. Beyond Good & Evil (PS2)
4. Incredible Crisis (PSX)
5 Katamari Damacy (PS2)
6 Adv. of Cookie and Cream (PS2)
7. Mad Maestro (PS2)
8. T2: Judgement Day
9. Typing of the Dead (Dreamcast)
10. Zombies Ate My Neighbors (SNES)
Let's ignore the fact that the list is pretty Sony-centric. Let's also ignore the fact that several of these were released for more than one platform. I'd have to agree with several of them as being underappreciated. BG&E, Incred. Crisis, and Typing fo the Dead to be sure. But Katamari? Sorry, an "underappreciated game" does NOT get a sequel. And T2 is underappreciated? Hell, that arcade game was released for virtually every system I can think of - including the Game Boy! "Underappreciated game" does NOT get released across a shitload of different platforms.
Still Around...Still Gamin'...
That's a really good list.
I love the games mentioned on there such as Rez, Eternal Darkness and ICO. ICO is just amazing, I throughly enjoyed my playthrough of it recently. The ones that I haven't played on there that I REALLY want to check out are:
Gamecube - Beyond Good & Evil
Gamecube - Killer 7
Xbox - Psychonauts
Xbox - Stubbs the Zombie
Beyond Good & Evil I've heard nothing but good things about, and most people have said the GC version is the best. Killer 7 looks awesome and I'm probably gonna pick that one up this Xmas. Psychonauts I want to play just simply because Tim Schafer is involved and I worship his Lucasarts adventure games. Stubbs hasn't seemed to have sold well AT ALL at my Best Buy, but all reviews I've read said it's actually an excellent game.
They probably contend T2 is unappreciated because of all the bitching the GB version caused
ooh...incredible crisis? i tried it and sucked horrible at it. maybe ill give it another go....i dont think i reached level 4..
