Your Top 5 Overrated Games

[SERIOUSLY THOUGH*]

If something's not rated extremely high, or rated by people at all, and talked about on a constant basis with an enduring legacy then there is nothing to contend with when deciding whether it's rated accurately or not.

I try rarely to "hate" on anything, and I genuinely love or greatly enjoy these games, but the worship of them and media obsession is Stan-like and begins to grate on my broader sensibilities after awhile. I will try and compile my thoughts as to why from old blogs and posts where I've explained before, and edit them back in, when I can.

If I really hated a highly rated and critically acclaimed game, then I might have just stopped playing it (ie: Batman Arkham City). I won't get into big franchise stuff, that I think is poisoning the industry with overblown toxic, assembly line style HD production, because I just don't play many of them, and can't give a thorough and informed critique like I can with games I like.
