Is pretty much everyone else's list.
The fact that popular games make up the most part of people's lists doesn't surprise me - popularity often goes hand in hand with overratedness.
Even a super-popular series won't please everyone, which leads to people believing that a game is overrated.
Exhibit A - SERIOUSLY tries Borederlands (pun inteded)
Friends - "Borderlands is so good !"
SERIOUSLY - "Hmmm, I'll probably enjoy this seeing as everyone seems to like it."
*SERIOUSLY plays Borderlands, but finds it boring after a while*
SERIOUSLY - "Grrrr this game isn't as good as everyone makes it out to be - it's overrated. I'm off to vent my spleen on VGF-Forums".
The point I'm making is that you're going to see the same titles lined up from post to post. Heck, first couple of replies has COD somewhere in their posts. I just think this topic has been done to death to the point it becomes a chant.
