25 Most Overrated Games

I normally really dislike “list” articles. They are generally cheap ways to fill space when gaming journalists run out of ideas and feel more like expounding their salubrious opinions to the grateful masses than actually doing some real work. Trust me, I know. However, Gamespy’s latest games list article - while still being a cheap way to fill space because they’ve run out of ideas - has some interesting comments by the staff. I don’t know how they could criticise Battletoads though. That game was hilarious.

hahahaha Derek Smart bashing never disappoints. Love it!

The article is just testiment to the arrogance of gamespy, they know shit, and what they do know about shit is only through a painfully subjective tunnel vision

I agree Chris.

Whilst there are a few games in that list that really should be there, there are some games such as Morrowind, Black and White & NWN that really shouldn’t have been in the top 25.

Morrowind has a pretty big following, and huge mod community

Black and White was one of the milestone games in AI development and implementation and NWN is much like MW in the light that it has a huge following and great mod community.

Even though I dont hold those three games in high personal regard, which may seem a bit contradictory.. they are still great games in their own right.

where was GTA or EQ?

"Black and White was one of the milestone games in AI development and implementation"

Sure that’s true… but it was still way way way over-rated. As much as most people I know admired it at first I don’t know anyone that played it for long.

Remember… they’re not listng crap games, just those that were grossly over-rated and I think B&W is a prime example of something that garnered more hype than it would ever be able to deliver.

Lol. I don’t like Penny Arcade because they are self-serving, opinionated, arrogant… lots of things like that. But they also hit the nail on the head sometimes :)

You got to be joking. Morrowind, Mortal Kombat and Halo! Those are some of the best fucking games ever, they shouldnt be on that list. Horrible just horrible :( Never dis Morrowind.

If they are talking Mortal Kombat DA. I think that game stunk.. One fatality per character.. Where is the justice.. Where is the gore.
