In terms of underrated video games these days, Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West is one to top them. It's one of those intriguing online 3rd person shooters with greater depth than excepted. Like Team Fortress II but with less complexity and frustration as you relive the violent era of the Wild West with style and elegance.
It features a 4 character classes that form teams in six engaging game modes. There's The Blaster, a shotgun wielding miner who can toss (and cook off) dynamite; The Trapper, a sniper with bear traps to "hunt" opponents like bears; The Deputy, wielding a repeater carbine and ability to "mark" enemies for everyone; and The Gunslinger, who can quick draws 6 shots under a second.
Each character is part of a unique synergy system that allows each player's significant progress to provide performance enhances to everyone else. A system that naturally provides collaboration between teammates.
The main replay value is the 82 Steam achievements you can earn through various challenges. Controls are easy to pick up and you learn a lot of different strategy as you progress. Those who used the Steam game provider (which pc gamer doesn't?) can often find this for about $2 during one of their major sales and $10 retail outside the sale. It's still bound to pass through the next 2 sales.
There's something about the brilliant western shooting mechanics and vivid atmosphere than makes this game feel like an overlooked gem with the current small size of it's online community. It also runs great on many decent laptops as well! View the official steam page for this game here: http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/42120/.
