I never thought I would say this but the metacritic (LOL) score for Spec Ops is below 8/10 so you can't really generalize and say that critics loved it.

DmC sold 1.4M. That's more than the original release of DMC3.

I don't put any stock in metacritic myself, but perhaps I've overestimating it's critical reception in that case. From my perspective though, all the critics I follow had positive things to say about it so I consider that to be good reviews. Like I say though critics are often wrong and I rarely take critical reception into account when I buy a game. I'm far more likely to trust the opinions of friends and a few independent YouTubers I watch.

Even though is from the 6th gen (unless you count the PC version), Psychonauts. My god this is what you call an underrated game.

One of the best 3D platformers I have ever played, the creativity is something that's very rare to find in games and heck even movies, likeable characters, funny as hell, fun and creative gameplay, lots of collectables (new physic powers, artwork, etc) it has everything you want from a 3D platformer, Tim Schafer really did a great job on this one. If there's anything bad I can say about the game is that the controls are a little bit clunky, but I very rarely had problems with them even playing with a keyboard, so this is nitpicking more than anything else.

Sadly it came out too late in the 6th gen (the 360 was just about to come out), and the decrease in popularity of 3D platformers (aside from Mario) probably had to do with it. According to VGC, it sold only 210k between the original Xbox and PS2...that's so sad, this game deserves a lot more than that, I really hope the PC version sales are much better.

That's my choice from a sales perspective, the critics loved the game.

From a critics perspective....Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. I generally don't care about reviews, but 82 metacritic is, imo, way too low for this. It gets almost everything perfectly, the controls, the music, the visuals. My only "big" complain about it is that the game is very short, I personally don't have a problem with that because I'm a sucker for time attacks which will easily give me dozens of hours, as well as hard mode, but for someone who doesn't care about this stuff, it is a very short experience (if you only do the require levels you can even finish it in a single day), I guess Nintendo knew this beforehand because the game cost $50 instead of $60.

Not according the VGChartz. DMC3 sold 2.09 million, and the Special Edition sold a further 2.21 million. So that's 4.3 million sales overall. It lists the sales for DmC as 0.68 millon on PS3, and 0.33 millon on Xbox 360, if you search DmC, it adds them together as 1.01 millon (so it's rounding them down slightly there). Even if we only consider the original release Devil May Cry 3 sold more than twice what DmC sold according to VGChartz figures. If you have more accurate figures by all means link them.

I prefer to use Capcom's numbers. Always official numbers when I have access to them. We can compare DMC3's special edition to DmC's special edition when the latter comes out but, in the meantime, DmC outsold DMC3.

Did that Alice game sell that well?! I never liked it.. :/

A well-written OP with actual effort put into it? What is this?!

Add the Wonderful 101 to the list. Shame on the gaming community for not embracing this game. Shame!

I do not find immaturity and delinquents cool. Cause thats what he is for the most part. Yeah he is helping save the world, but its because he wants revenge for his parents. How is this a cool person? Maybe for you, but not for me. He does get better as the game advances, but its still all very forced.

The story is dumb cause the villain is dumb. He is portraid as really evil and powerful and was a weak and pathetic villain. Caring for his unborn child? He can make more! He got one upped by a couple of dumbsters, he didnt kill the girl when he clearly had nothing to lose for it. It was all so very convenient, dumb and boring. So yes... the story was lame.

This was all in all a very juvenile set of characters and story events. I do prefer events that are a bit more... intricate. And should i bring up Vergil's downfall?! What the hell was that? Door to paradise closes until he is even more evil? lol
