Instead of just going over the most overlooked and underrated games of 2011, I want to take a more all-encompassing look at the most overlooked and underrated games of this generation. Here’s a list of the games that I’ve enjoyed this gen that many other people seem to have hated, overlooked, or ignored – in no particular order.

Singularity

Singularity is a FPS in a world full of FPSs, but it took a more “BioShock” approach to first-person shooting. You play a soldier that is hopping back and forth in time on some Russian island due to a, you guessed it, singularity. You have a cool gauntlet-thing that lets you manipulate time and space to all kinds of effects, like aging an enemy to dust, freezing them in time, or turning them into a mutant that will attack their allies. There is also a class-based multiplayer mode that surprisingly does not suck. You can play a human or one of the many creatures that have been warped by the singularity in team-based games, and both sides give you options in terms of what weapons and abilities you have and all of the classes are great and can really shape the game if everyone does the job of their class right.
