Hi. There are some games that people rate so high, but actually is real boring. I think this is wrong, but i want to see what the world thinks. Thanks.

Halo is Call of Duty in space.

It's a by-the-numbers FPS with an Xbox exclusivity deal and pretty graphics. It is no more revolutionary or original as any other FPS.

Good multiplayer? Goldeneye had just as rich a four-player experience.
Online gaming? I believe Half-Life and its various mods had Halo beat by a good couple of years.
But Master Chief is awesome!
He's a clone, and clones are never awesome.

All of them, but Medal of Honor, (NEver heard of it so I don't think it's overrated) and POkemon. (POkemon rules :twisted: )

halo is decent...but then halo 2's story sucked ass...and they plan on making more....

I for one am not looking forward to it.

Runescape isn't that good of a game, it's a cheap version of WOW, and wow is overrated...good but overrated. The rest of the options...eh...w/e

I think an interesting poll would be most under rated game of all time. any suggestions?

Yes... but the most under rated games will be hard to find because they are not that famous... and by the way, i think Runescape sucks more than halo.

Haha!!

Hahahahaha!!

Pfft!! Sure, it's really really great. HAHAHAHAAAAA!!

I reckon the most over-rated in the list is Runescape, but the most over-rated game ever is Metal Gear Solid. Any of them. Maybe not the 2D ones actually, but any of the Playstation/PS2 era. I've laways hated them, from the awful contols to the insanely dull dialogue and the stupidly complicated YET ALSO IMPOSSIBLY SIMPLISTIC plots.

I'd like to laugh at Resistance some more, but it's not THAT bad. Just very very average.

I'm not a huge fan of fps's, but it kicks halos ass.

TV/Movie games are probably the most overrated. You have your exceptions (such as goldeneye), but many games based off of a movie/TV license are absolute crap. The only reason they do sell is because of the movie/TV fans that have generated and believe that they have to have that game.

Sort of like Sonic and Pokemon fans buying games of their licenses today.

I would probably say Pokemon is the most overrated. The other games aren't held in high regard anyway. Sure, Pokemon is a good game but it isn't that good.

Unfortunately, Halo 2 wasn't on the list, so I couldn't vote for it (The first Halo was a great game, and that was what was on the list). So I voted for Runescape.

Are you a pokemon fanboy?

Anyways, it was a good concept. Capture some animals, train them, and make them fight other trainers. However, it's geting repetitve as all the pokemon games are all the same (with the exception of new pokemon/moves/towns).

It's not a bad game but you can't run off the same formula forever. However, the most recent pokemon games are pretty bad from what I hear.

The later games aren't as good and niether are the concepts for some of the pokemon. But Mystery Dungeon rocks, and yes, I am a pokemon fanboy.

Is that really a game? It's always seemed to me to be an overly complex graphical chatroom/
