    Halo is basically the MOST OVERRATED game in the PC genre. It's multiplayer can be fun yes, but thats about it. The only reason why I kept playing the game was for the story.... thats it.

    No,

    GTA 3 was a very huge leap. It spawned to many copy cats its crazy. Not to meantion people at that time had never played a game like that before.

    Now its sequals ARE OVERRATED, because they are nothing more than just add ons.

    Far Cry - The graphics are still awsome to this day, but the story sucked ballz. And dont even try to sneak around in the game, its pointless cause the enemies can hear EVERYTHING in a 5 mile radius. Dont even get me started on the acting, and stupid ending.

    Overrated:

    HALF-LIFE SERIES: Now these aren't horrible games or anything like that, but I find that the story never really captures you and the game play is just boring, no matter how many pretty scripted events they throw at you. Just a regular FPS and I don't see anything special about it except for maybe the engine.

    Overhyped:

    CRYSIS: This game isn't even out yet and I'm sick of it. Everyday there is some new lame video of the same thing. Let's be honest, is it pretty? yes, very! Is there something special about it apart from that? Not that I can see. If I'm missing it, then please help me find it but in my opinion it'll follow the HALF-LIFE steps. It will be incredibly popular among the masses, will sell plenty of copies and a few months later we will all be here adding it to our overrated list. I liked the "survival" aspect of Far Cry and thought it was a great game with a very fun (although disappointing at the end) story. It got the publicity that it deserved. With Crysis though, I find the suit kind of ruins it. I find it makes you WAY to powerful based on the tons of videos I've seen. Plus, the AI looks retarded. All this is just my opinion however and I hope I am wrong because PC gaming needs some good new classics.

    Under hyped:

    UNREAL TOURNAMENT 3: I really really want this game to make it big but we barely hear about it. I wish people would look away from Crysis even if just for a moment and help spread the word about this game.

    Underrated:

    The first DEUS EX: I cannot believe there are still gamers out there who haven't played this game. It's incredible. Played it over 20 times and it's always great. Story, voice acting, game play, everything is top notch. The only problem now is the graphics but we should all know by now that graphics don't make a game.

    GROUND CONTROL SERIES: Give them a shot guys, they are awesome! Very fun and action filled. Simple and easy to pick up but hard to truly master. Great strategy game in my opinion with a nice single player story as well.

    SUPREME COMMANDER: Even though the game runs at 10 fps on my pc, I still think its one of the best STRATEGY games ever made. You are in complete control of a huge battlefield and if you get into it, it's very, very fun. So many ways to defeat you opponent!

    UNREAL TOURNAMENT SERIES: One of my favourite games ever. I understand if you're not into very fast paced shooters, but if you haven't checked them out yet, you are missing out!

    SYSTEM SHOCK 2: I don't honestly know how popular this game is amongst you gurus or how accepted it was by the gaming community at its release, but this game, same as Deus Ex, has it all. Scared the fack out of me and kept me entertained until the very end....and more than once.

    UT3 is a game that doesn't need hype to sell. it already has a huge fan base, and it's known that it's a must have.

    Quake 4 was fine, but it seriously lacked innovation. Too much reliance on formula stories.
    Overrated:
    Tom clancy games
    splinter cell games
    Street fighter series. Don't get me wrong its a classic......that been repeated and raped to no end.

    Underrated:
    Ganja farmer
    Slave Zero
    Alien vs predator (The FPS)

    Definetly an under rated game : Red Faction. Enjoyed it a lot more than Half Life at the time. Deformable terrain was a lot of fun, I wonder why that never caught on.

    LOL...the bloke here thinks Gears of War is under rated...HAHA. when we say under rated we mean that it was a great game that didn't recieve the attention it deserved. to say GOW is under rated is the complete opposite. it was the most talked about game...it is over rated.
