I'm sorry to say this, but people seem to have mistaken "Unkown" to "Underrated", Most of the games listed here are considered classics and some of the best games ever, which in no way makes them underrated, they're just relatively unknown, compared to games like MW2 and CS.
Change of title?

It can be both, really. It can be it's not recognised enough, or it can be it's reviewed at too low a degree.
An 'underrated' game in my view is one that has not had enough exposure, even if it gets good reviews. Good reviews are only part of the equation.

When you put it that way, I'm gonna have to say Freespace 2, sure it has tons of mods and fanmade campaigns now, but it didn't sell very well initially due to lack of marketing IIRC, so they haven't done a third installment... though seeing Volition's newer releases I'm not too bitter.
Anyway, I find FS2 is still the best Space shooter "sim" around, but that may be due to the rather heavy drought on that genre for the last ten years or so... Prophecy killed WC-series in -97; Alliance was the last "sim" in the Star Wars-universe; and I could say many things about Starlancer, few of them good. Freelancer on the other hand, while fun, was more just an action-game as far as the battles go. After those, I haven't seen any real attempts at the genre, aside from one eastern european one I forget the name of, which wasn't that great...
Ah well, atleast FS2 has an active community and the SCP is making it look very good indeed so it's not all bad.

You should see the new models for the Medusa and Sathanas for the next mediaVPs on HLP.
