[quote name='whoknows']Advent Rising - Fantastic story and interesting characters. Sure it had some technical issues, but it was still very playable and an awesome game. Too bad the sequels will never happen

I've been wanting to play that game for a long time. Did the whole contest have a hand in the series being put to rest?
I'll just copy my answer from the blog...
I wouldn't say most underrated, but one severely underrated is Mirror's Edge. It did have it's problem, including clunky combat and a bit thin plot, but the areas it did shine it, it really went above and beyond. It's one of the most vibrantly brilliant games I've ever played, and the FPP genre it's still alone in was awesome. I'll still enjoy that game for years to come.
I was praying for Mirror's Edge 2 to be at least mentioned at E3, but alas, nothing. I've heard back and forth that ME2 may or may not happen, but I think it has a decent sized fanbase and if they improved on the problems they had with the first, they could have a contender on their hands. An open world would be great, but I think there would need to be some limitation.. Plus, I hear people complain about the interior parts of the game, but those were the most beautiful. I could rant about the game for hours...
