IMO GTA IV is a great game, much better than many 90%+ rated games. I agree with OGY, Halo 3 is probably one of the most overrated /overhyped games.

I also think Gears of War and Mass Effect are overrated / overhyped.

 

 Right...cause they are not available on ps3. Ignorance is bliss.

 

No, I bought Gears of War for the 360. It was OK, but I expected a masterpiece judging from the hyped reviews. The main personae did not appeal to me at all, the story was weak, I hated the light gun section, the main gameplay was good but environmental movement was too restricted, crouched running was lame (I am a Physio), the Beserker was the coolest enemy but too pre-scripted being unable to hurt it with normal guns, boomers were lame saying "boom!" when shooting like some 5 year old,  the big boss in the PC version (unavailable on the 360 version) seems like a far more suitable end-boss.

Mass Effect, IMO becomes a bit too repetitive and boring (especially cutscenes), lots of framerate and texture pop-in issues. IMO not living up to its hype neither.
