I agree that CoD (specifically the MW games) is overrated in the mainstream, but it's funny that the backlash has made it underrated in smaller social circles.
Also it's pretty silly to call Minecraft overrated. A lot of people like it for various reasons, but Minecraft doesn't really have a negative impact on the gaming industry like CoD or Angry Birds. There's really nothing like it either and it stands on it's own merits, unlike other popular games that are popular for the sake of being popular.
Even then, Minecraft has negative impact. The insane amount of of [something]Craft clones we've gotten over the last 3 years has been increasing. Or the fact that games like Skyward Sword and Dead Space 3 now have crafting in them. I'm not saying SS and DS3 are taking elements of Minecraft into their games, but it's pretty convenient to have players doing that in their games at a time when Minecraft is so big. It does have it's negative impact.
