It's been eight years since Microsoft revealed the 360, kicking off the start of a new, much more powerful (at the time) seventh generation of video game hardware.

Now, with Xbox One and PS4 on the proverbial doorstep, it's time to say finally bid farewell to the games of this past generation. But between successes like Gears, Call of Duty and Uncharted, there are other amazing titles that were overlooked and deserve their due credit. A game like Tokyo Jungle surprised gamers with a fresh take on the traditional role playing game. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch made animation and gameplay, almost seamless and Catherine flipped the concept of a puzzler on it's head. Every title on this list has made an impact despite the lack of promotional might. Here are the 25 most underrated games of the last generation of consoles.
