Poor Brawl, its online will never get the respect it deserves...


But in all honestly, we shouldn't go under all the "make us friends" to play proper online. And even then, it lagged sometimes.

To me, Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted 2 & 3, and Gods of War 3, Little big Planet, Flowers, Killzone 2 & 3, and The last of us are all way over rated compared to your lists.

You forgot The Walking Dead, Bioshock Infinite, and The Last of Us.


LOL at last of us................Easily on the the best games on this generation. Also great Multiplayer. Trying to hard to be edgy.

             I take it. You are a Xbox fan. Sorry if I offended you by putting Halo 4 on this list.

  I am not saying everyone should have the same as me, but  I don't think that people should ignore obvious flaws. Linear gameplay and  lack of sidequests in a 3D Zelda  game are FLAWS.

To be fair, every 3D Zelda game is linear.

Even Wind Waker, despite the overworld giving another impression. You can still only do everything in a set order. Skyward Sword and Majora's Mask are the definition of linear and Ocarina of Time only has a few slight possibilities to go non-linear. In Twilight Princess, you're just as capable to freely roam around the world as you are in those other games. You even have more freedom than in Skyward Sword.

In fact, 'linear gameplay' is something present in all but a few Zelda games, even most 2D games. The first game on NES, is indeed almost completely non-linear. But this is immediately the only one that does it to such extend. Zelda II has a lot of freedom like the first game, but still already has a lot of stuff that have to be done in the correct order. A Link to the Past is even more linear than that, only a couple dungeons remain that can be done out of order. The portable games are all completely linear.

Linear gameplay in a Zelda game is not a flaw, it is actually the standard and non-linear has been the exception.

And on a side-note; you mention you found Twilight Princess depressing. If you'd pay attention to the story, that's what the game was about. It's supposed to have a depressing atmosphere.

Did you even look at his sig I don't see any info for the 360.



Neither of these entries are correct. We all know that the most overrated games of all time are Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy VI and Ico.

Ocarina is not bad, but looking at it objectively, it has tons of flaws. It has aged worse than FFVII (whose only aspect that aged was the graphics, while Ocarina suffered in gameplay). Even for the time, I don't know how it was considered so "perfect".

Final Fantasy VI is also a good game. But the game suffers from two major problems: way too many characters, and a TERRIBLE second half. World of Ruin is just a collection of sidequests. I kept going to dungeons, finding my characters and defeating bosses, but I felt like I was on the same place, not doing any progress. And I CAN'T STAND all the praise the cast has for being "all important, with no defined protagonist". That's NOT TRUE. Half of the cast is COMPLETELY WORTHLESS, if you remove them, the plot remains exactly the same! And then the final dungeon forces me to go through it with all the characters? Great.

Ico is just bad really. People keep saying it's a masterpiece. Newsflash, it's barely a game. The story is overly cryptic, 90% of the dialogue is in some fictional language that requires you to beat the game again. And you'll not understand the plot, be warned. The gameplay is just boring and there's no music.

  Yes, the game is supposed to be like that. So? I still don't like the dark style of the game.
