Top ten most overrated games ever
Hey gang, remember when I did that big feature on the best villains ever? Well, now we’re embarking upon a new project in the same vein. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be running a series on the ten most overrated games of all time.
Now, don’t get the wrong idea. These will mainly be decent games. I’m not going to pick games that were absolutely terrible and complain that they got released at all, or that Gamespot gave them a 7/10. No Daikatana on this list, is what I’m saying. This is only going to be games that are legitimately highly rated, but don’t really deserve it; mostly playable, enjoyable games that, for whatever reason, are hailed as legends by lots of stupid people. And I’m also restricting myself to one game per series, so as to havoid this list being dominated by one specific series. You know the one I’m talking about. I’m also issuing a free pass to all games released in the last five years; I don’t think they’ve really had enough time to establish themselves critically yet. A lot of recent games get huge, sloppy handjobs for a while, and then fade right away; games like that don’t qualify. They have to have some type of lasting fanaticism about them.
So, in a nutshell, get ready to see an awful lot of sacred cows thrown on the sacred barbecue. Will this be a good time? Well, sure, if you like awesome things.
