Any game that I didn't like, whether you liked it or not.

Seriously - opinions are like assholes: Everybody has one.
 
DAO was awesome! I was more addicted to finishing that than I was skyrim. Although I've already played more of skyrim in the first 8 days of owning it.
 
So actually with DA:O I was thinking it was great but I played it on PC. This is the console forum and yes the console versions were not that good so I guess I could see it on the list.

I played on the 360 and it would be way way way easier on the pc, but its not all that hard to manage things on the console.
 
Final Fantasy VII. Significantly overrated and it "borrowed" too liberally from Phantasy Star II. Yes, I'm still bitter.

Any GTA after Vice City, which IMO, was the pinnacle of that franchise. GTA III was the revolution; Vice was the opus. IV was a good offering, but time has shown that it was just a modernized version of GTA III. No one reveres IV as they do III.

I don't know if I'd call the CoD series overrated, because I don't know any remotely serious gamer that considers them more than just disposable FPS multi-player fun.

Uncharted series - though fun, I find these to be a little irritating. I feel like all I do is jump from hidden ledge to hidden ledge and then get stuck in a far-too-long gun fight. The plot, while always fun, is just ridiculous at times.
 
Uncharted 2.
Deus Ex human revolution. Total crap!
Mass Effect, Skyrim
Mass Effect.
GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City
God of War
Half Life 2 and DLCs... I mean 'Episodic Content
Fallout 3
Half Life 2

I haven't played too many console games, and most of the ones I have are the PC versions, but here's my list in no particular order:

Battlefield 3
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Metal Gear Solid 4
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Borderlands
