What's the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have 'found their audience' but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.

The first few Splinter Cell games should have had a more-lasting impact on gaming. Proper stealth gameplay in which lighting mattered for the first time (revolutionary), and the Spies vs. Mercs multiplayer still ranks among my favorite multiplayer games of all time. Then they made it into a (still good, but not the same) action series before letting it die completely.

I miss those games so much. Nothing out there now compares to

Agreed. I got an original Xbox and Spliter Cell was the main thing I wanted. It didn't disappoint. Seeing those light rays through a rotating fan, shooting the bulbs and watching a room go dark, etc...never got old. It was a true "NOW THIS IS NEXT-GEN" moment.
