Day 3 - A game that is underrated

There are lots of games out there that get released and manage to slip away without anyone ever realising they were there, and Enslaved:Odyssey to the West is one of them. 
Not even a year old, and easily picked up in your local game store for less than $30 (I grabbed mine in England at Christmas for a mere 8 squid), Enslaved was meant to be the start of a trilogy. Based on the old Chinese monkey stories, written by The Beach's Alex Garland, and with Andy Serkis doing his usual as well as voice acting the lead role of Monkey, everyone expected this game to do well. This game should have worked, and it did, I enjoyed the crap out of it. The story was great and the visuals were stunning. Unfortunately no-one really paid attention and it sold poorly. Which is sad because I would have loved to play the next installment.
