From poisonous-pixels.com:
There are sure a lot of "best of lists" coming out of the woodwork now since the year is beginning to come to a close. And not surprisingly, many of the lists read basically the same. Many of the games that are on those lists are definitely must play games (Super Mario Galaxy, Call of Duty 4, The Orange Box), but whatever happened to the other games that were fantastic throughout the year like World in Conflict, Persona 3, or Lunar Knights to name a few. With just an avalanche of triple A titles hitting us at the end of the year, many excellent games were overshadowed by the sheer amount of press coverage and excellent PR campaigns that were given to those games that were at the top of those 2007 lists. So here are the games that are the ones that have been forgotten because they came out early in the year or worse, never got the credit that they deserved in the first place.
The Xbox360 games in the list:
02) Eternal Sonata (Xbox 360)
10) Overlord (PC; Xbox 360)
14) Bomberman Live (Xbox 360)
16) Virtua Tennis 3 (PC, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Sony PSP)

I agree on Eternal Sonata, it's a great game. Too bad almost noone seem to have played it. Overlord was great in single player (apart from the brewery bug that could make you need to start over the whole story, a patch fixed that later), but the multiplayer part was kind of a letdown.

I also agree about Eternal Sonata. I have it. But, I haven't played it as much as I should have. The massive amount of games that came out this year completely bulldozed it outta the way. I would also add Conan to that list. Conan is a decent game, regardless of what some people may say.
Honestly, there are some really decent games that the "status quo" doesn't seem to like but you, yourself, just might.
Never trust paid reviewers, and also be wary of what fellow players say -- give any game you're interested in a shot yourself and see if YOU like it. Screw what other people TELL YOU is cool. They don't spend the $60 on YOUR games, do they?

I have Eternal Sonata as well; the only game I actually pre-ordered this year and it is great. It took the 2nd chapter for me to REALLY get into it, but I love the game. It was pretty cool to see it appreciated, even on a list of under-appreciated games.

eternal sonata was a unique game and had a pretty nice battle system. very clean look to it, and overall, a great game.
agreed, it should be given a chance my any RPG fan. only reason i didnt finish it is because i had it from gamefly and returned it for another game.

Don't forget
5) Red Star (Playstation 2, Xbox)
Hard to get hold of, difficult, and very, very good.
