The Overrated, the Underrated, and the perfect

*points to topic title*
What do you think are the top 3 in each category?
Overrated.
Underrated.
Perfectly Rated.
Mine:
Overrated:
1. Halo Series- Easily the most hyped series of all time. It's not even that good. It's average at best with run and gun gameplay and mediocore story. Not worth it at all.
2. FF7- It's a decent game, I'll give it that. But greatest game of all time? NO WAY! It's characters don't leave a lasting impact, the gameplay is standard Fare which we've seen from other FF's before it, and it's story is essetnially the same as all other FF's. If a game is suppposed to be the best in it's series and one of the greatest of all time, it should be bar and high above everything- not be a copycat of previous installments with updated graphics.
3. Gears of War- It's probably the best game out of the most overrated games, IMO. But it's no where near as good as it was hyped to be. It's got pretty graphics, and good sound, but beyond that the gameplay is rather linear with a few venturing path's to mix it up. Overall wasn't even that challenging, and the story kind of took a back-seat while the action was the main focus.
The Underrrated-
1. KUF Series- This was a wonderful series of game's that came out during the X-box's lifespan. It's not too surprising if you've never heard of them. They didn't garner any attention from the media and the games came out during the same time the two Halo's (Most Overrated Garbage ever) did. Wonderful Hack-n-slash gameplay combined with strategory and a decent story to boot.
2. Skies of Arcadia- I know what you're thinking, why is this here? The game was relativly successful on the two systems it was on, so why? I personally thought they weren't successful enough. This is just about one of the most unique RPGs I've played. The ship battles, battle system, story, manverument, all the side quests, Everything. This game truly broke the mold that series like FF continually stay in line with, yet they game's are the ones that continue to gain all the praise, while truly good game are picked up, mentioned, and then thrown in the garbage the next day for a poor game hyped up to better than it. This game derserved so much more than what it recieved. Sadly, it did not, sure shows where our mentality lies.
3. Oddworld Series- These games (before the 3D Console ones) were just so original. Their design, style of play, characters, even morbid humor. A wonderful series, that becomes overshadowed and forgotten.
Perfect Rated-
1. BioShock- I'm never one to follow hype, infact I generally dislike most game's that gain a lot of hype because I play them and see them as average game's with good graphics and that's about it. BioShock is the first Hyped game I've played that I generally agree with it's reviews. Which is why it takes the number one spot. This game, sure it does have it's flaws that some reviews do not recognize, but it's still a generally wonderful masterpiece. It's gameplay isn't the most original, but what is so great about it is the presentation. The story is easily one of the best stories ever told on a console. The character's, even the most minor, are so real. And all the little details about it, are what makes it so great. Not just that, but it's a generally fun game.
2. LOZ:OOT- what can I say about this game, that hasn't been said? It's wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. The best zelda game, best story, best boss battles, best everything.
3. Guitar Hero 1&2- Wonderful games. From rocking out to Iggy Pop, and soothing a colloseum of people with some Cowboys From Hell, these games stood out as a great step forward in the musical game genre. My only complaint, they get old after a while.
Now if only the bullet quote had been in "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", instead of "Dirty Harry".

Halo and GoW are all about the multiplayer. Don't ask me what's so great about it, though, 'cause I don't have online play...

I've palyed them, but I guess I'm diseased or something. I don't think it's fun to play on a game where people are constantly yelling at each other, calling anyone with a kid/girl voice immature idiots that should leave, and don't even get me started on the other kinds of people out there. Online just isn't worth it, horrible community of people.

I would agree entirely, if not for BioShock.
