Some of those I can totally understand. Others? Damn.

 

Sonic 3, Perfect Dark (N64, I take it), Far Cry 1, Super Meat Boy and Shadow of Colossus? All overrated?

 

To an extent, I can agree on Half-Life 2 (PC). I love it, but it's saving grace is its sense of artistry and all the bunus games in The Orange Box. The Orange Box is the closest thing the 7th gen has to the Time Splitters series: great campaign with a crapload of extra modes and challenges.

Which Tomb Raider? Core Design's TR or Crystal Dynamics? Crystal Dynamics has turn the series into a train wreck.  Seriously, Crystal Dynamics, multiplayer in Tomb Raider? What in the world are they smoking?

"65. Ninja Gaiden 3" -- The BAD Ninja Gaiden game with the most simplistic combat? I'm just glad you didn't put Bayonetta on this list.

I have a lot of the games on this list and have enjoyed playing and replaying most of them.  Why is it that you don't like main stream games.  I can understand your point of some games being over rated, but some on this list are just really good.  GTA IV, Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 2, and Batman: Arkham Asylum jumped out at me as games I think most would rate high.

 

Respect your opinion though.

Nice list, I do not disagree actually. xD Even though I love Megaman and some (very few to my surprise) other games in the list. ^^

You were right about the responses lol. That's a lot of games. If I made a list it would probably be like 10 because there aren't many games I simply don't like, and a very few I feel are truly overrated. But if you actually played all these games to form such an opinion for each and every one of them, then great for you.

A hundred is just a ridiculous number, especially when it comes to something you hate.  didn't even bother reading the whole list, because you are calling out games you "hate" and yet are still buying their sequels, like cod if you didn't like the first black ops, what made you think 2 would be better? the Gears series? Ratchet and Clank series? or on occasion in this list, why did you give them good scores, i.e. modern warfare 1 (you gave 8.0, 78 on your list) , fallout new vegas (you gave 9.0 for ultimate edition, and number 39 here), fable 3 (you gave 9.5, and number 81), and sleeping dogs (you gave 9.5, here it's number 6).

It's really hard to tell what games you hate or think are overrated you should separate them into two lists

Pretty much all games are underrated or overrated, depending on who you ask. ;-P

I don't agree about them all but then video game scores are a matter of opinion

I`m wondering how can you hate a game that you have 47 of 51 achievements and give a score of 6.5 (users 8.7) ... (see AC).

I respect your opinion, though I really coudn't agree with your list, I mean, I love the New Super Mario Bros series, believe that the Super Mario Galaxy series belongs to the best video games ever created and I am astound of Skyrim's huge world to explore. And looking at the list right now, I really wonder which games you do really like. I mean, there are a lot of games here on the list that are very popular and are supposed to be great.

I love that gaming has reached point where we now have gaming "hipsters" for those who don't know how that works, it  basically is having the mindset of "it's popular therefore it sucks."  I plan to write a blog about the qualifications to be a gaming hipster saying something is "overated" because it's popular.

So some games on your list are overrated but you still enjoyed playing them?  Or you hated all of them too?  Wait, I see that you loved Angry Birds but believe it is highly overrated.  So you must have enjoyed playing many on your list as well, just think that they are overrated.

 

I agree with overrated games like AC, Bioshock, Call of Duty, Diablo and Far Cry series, overrated in the sense that they potentially spark a bunch of sequels that everyone seems to continue buying, and the sequels are not particularly as good.  I did, though, really love the first Bioshock and the first Far Cry as they were entertaining to play, and particularly with Bioshock had a very unique story and environment (plus I really get into post-apocalypse and dystopia themes) and Far Cry was just crazy fun with the crawling around to sneak attack the enemy, diving off cliffs to escape enemy fire or simply running them over with a vehicle when the opportunity arose.  I still enjoyed Bioshock 2 and Far Cry 2 but they didn't hold the same appeal as the first ones (the danger with some sequels).

 

Possibly another overrated game that didn't make it on your list was Mafia (or at least I don't see it on your list).  Loved the first one but pretty much was disappointed by the second one (was really watered down compared to the first game and more often than not was simply boring).

 

Nintendo Wii on your list made me laugh with you.  I'm not a big fan of playing crappy games like Wii Sports where the gameplay is sub-par and the graphics are worse but I'm supposed to be 'oohed and aahed' by the motion controller translating on the screen.  I hear that Wii games have improved quite a bit in the last year but I'm not sold on the technology, not yet anyway.  I'm still a keyboard and mouse junkie.

Disagree for a lot of these, not gonna nitpick because I won't change your opinion ahah. Honestly it just looks like every highly rated game ever is on here.

 

Also just because a game is mainstream doesn't mean it's anywhere near worth discrediting them. I remain to not understand the whole "it's mainstream, don't care" logic.

That could be a list of the top 100 games too! Could it be a case of games that are rated highly can never live up to their hype. I know this can get me sometimes.

 @-INKling- Dude you are so right, I think you could easily change the title to "Top 100 Games", and I think it could still work :P.

Call of Duty should be at the top, and The Walking Dead should be on there.

 otherwise 2/10. I don't agree with some those being overrated.
