1. PC World

i kid
GitarooMan said:I think "overhyped" would work better then "overrated" here: A lot of these games are very, very good, but something like LBP was hyped at its peak as some paradigm shift instead of just a very cool, elite-level game.
TheRagnCajun said:6. Mario64 -undeservingly put on a pedalstool just for being the first good 3d platformer.
5. Shenmune -lol dreamcast
4. Shadow of the Colossus -games are not art
3. Team Fortress2 -no co-op mode
2. Any Halo game -PC fps's are superior
1. FF6 -FF7 has better graphics
They may be the most overrated games of the year, but they are still the best games of the year without question.
AstroLad said:2. Typical pathetic PC elitism. Whatever you say about "superior" PC FPSes--try playing any of those with a pad (hint: their controls suck). There is absolutely NOTHING like kicking back and enjoying a quality FPS on your HDTV with 5.1 sound, and that is something PCs just cannot offer so that argument FAILS for the millionth time on GAF.

°°ToMmY°° said:no, that's the reason why there aren't wii games on that list.
Tain said:Oh, there's plenty of question.
Oblivion said:Not necessarily. Something being overrated can be subjective, whereas something that is overhyped can actually be measured.
Rapping Granny said:nah there isn't.
Number of views to the game's information page on game websites?EschatonDX said:How?
There isn't any objective basis for that at all.
Rez>You said:This whole thread is a trap.
I'm out. :lol
It's the other way around.Oblivion said:Not necessarily. Something being overrated can be subjective, whereas something that is overhyped can actually be measured.
CabbageRed said:As a PC gamer, I am almost completely unable to relate with PC World's list. Hopefully Nintendo Power (if they still around) will step in and give me a biting piece on PC's biggest dissapointments.

tirant said:3/5
COD and Braid were not hyped at all. Actually theyre quite better than everyone expected.

sonicmj1 said:Number of views to the game's information page on game websites?
Number of message board posts on game-specific message boards?
Number of positive user-reviews on IGN prior to release?
There are plenty of ways to gauge hype, if you put your mind to it.
AstroLad said:Ok this is even more fucking ridiculous than the terrrrrible original list.
6. All 3d platformers are indebted to this game, and most 3d games in general. Not only that, but it still stands up years later.
5. Not much to reply to here.
4. Yes believe it or not, games can be transcendant. Not every game needs to have guns or a bald space marine and this game proved it.
3. Agreed.

1. Not enough experience with the genre to comment.
Seriously, sometimes GAF is so pathetically predictable.

:lol :lolSonOfABeep said:MGS4 is correct. I bought a PS3 for it and it was by far the worst of the series.
