its overrated games list, and lots of people who never played FF2 or FF3 played that and claimed it was the best game ever. when both FF2 and FF3 blow it out of the water (though FF3 has the same problem with characters not having and differentiation between them. once everyone in your group can cast the best spell in the game for 1 MP twice a round it doesn't matter who you have)

I see. I guess so, if that was their reasoning.

MGS2? what the hell...
I'm sick of lists... soon there will be a TV channel devoted totally to lists, oh wait... I believe VH1 already does that.

Final Fantasy 7 did suck.

6 owned.

Halo was a tech demonstrator that, ironically, appealed to the Linux kiddies and actually made them buy the console. The Linux community being as hardheaded as it is, they won't shut up about it.

Neverwinter Nights has no place on that list. Being a DM in a P&P game isn't easy, what makes them think it would be any easier on a computer?

But Final Fantasy VII is no where near one of the most overrated video games. It would be my second favorite video game of all time. They need to have their heads examined and their asses kicked :p


Maybe its becauz of those million hours that they have played!!! Freaky shitheads!!!
FF7?? UNREAL2???
Where is this world heading to man?

I don't think they understand their own list.

Simply put, this SHOULD be a list of games that received high praise but weren't really as good as people said they were. Fine.

4. Daikatana. -> HELLO. You can't call a game overrated if EVERY SINGLE PERSON who played it thought it was a steaming pile of dung.

8. Lara Croft -> Same thing. Received nearly no positive press.

10. Halo. -> This has been done better or has been surpassed WHEN? Even after all this time it's STILL one of the best FPS's on ANY system.

16. Mortal Kombat -> In retrospect, yes, it's a crappy game. At the time it revolutionized fighting games as we knew them and set a precedent for violence and censorship. Name a game since that has been equally influential. Oh, that's right, they can't. Stupid tards.

19. Battlecruiser 3000AD -> A very niche game with dozens of bugs. Reviewers hated it, Battlecruiser fanboys were the only ones to get into the thing. No one else bought it. How can it be overrated?


Gamespy's stupidity factor is rapidly reaching that of Gamespot's. See what happens when you sell out, kids?

So you actually got past that 1st Vehicle part in the tunnel within the first couple playthroughs? It was obscenely difficult, I think it probably took 30 tries for me to make it through once, and I died shortly thereafter because 50% of my credits were wasted there. The game was cool, but damn waay too difficult.
