1. Killzone 2.

Reason: This game was over hyped but to me I returned it within 3 days having played the lack lustre campaign. The online team base style was not to my liking and I was bored very quickly with this game. The controls of this game are for an acquired taste. To the people who like it it is one of the best games on the PS3.

2. Resident Evil 5

Reason: Well it has received mixed reviews from media and gamers around the world. I did not have the time to play this game yet but the disappointment of GTA IV put me off this game.

3. Halo 3:ODST:

Reason: Another Halo game but will it live up to its sales expectations of the previous Halo games? The online modes are going to have to offer something different from Halo 3 to maintain people's interest.

4. Uncharted 2:

Reason: Rumoured to be The best game on the PS3 bar none according to some sources of the media. Generation leap upon Uncharted. Could it outsell Uncharted in sales or become a AAA game which Uncharted fell agonisingly short of?

5. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2:

Reason: It has to live up to the high expectations its predecessor Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare set back in 2007 being the 2007 Game of the Year. Anything short of being game of the year 2009 and not matching Call of Duty 4 in sales it would of fallen short of our lofty expectations.

A few others including (FFXIII, Assassins Creed 2, Gran Turismo 5 and Forza 3) could be added to the list but here are the 5 candidates. What is the most over rated game in 2009? Unreleased games for 2009 have been included due to them being among the 5  biggest console games of 2009. I may have to end up making a   top 10 list of the most over rated games in 2009 and see which game gets the title.

Popular big name titles exclusive or multiplatform titles may get high sales and get high reviews. To most they are loved by gamers but there are some haters to every big game.  The critics who regard some games as being over rated which are undeserving of their success. It is all a matter of opinion and taste. Halo 3, Gears of War, Final Fantasy VII, GTA IV, etc all have their fans and the haters.

2009 will need to be over before we know which game was the most over rated game for 2009.

Most over rated games of the previous three year winners are: 2008 = GTA IV, 2007 = Halo 3, 2006 = Gears of War.

Well, this is a load of crap. 60 percent of you list isnt out yet!

Uncharted 2 is DEFINITELY going to get at least 90 average on gamerankings (quote me). Made by a firm with no failures in the past so that is struck off  the list.

Modern warfare 2 will also DEFINETLY get 90 aveage on gamerankings (quote me again!), and i suspect will sell at least 3 million combined first week on pc/ps3/360.

Dunnno about halo, but i bet that too will bet good reviews

Same with re5.

The only one on your list thats not stupid is kz2. It wasnt terrible. It was just so average. a 7/10 for me, and i too sold it within a week.

That's his point. Even if the games are 85% games (theoretically speaking) we already know they'll get +90%, which is the definition of over-rated.
Read closely, his thread has the word 'over rated' in it, not 'over hyped', there's a HUGE difference.

No, you dont get my point. I mean that for example uncharted 2 and mw2 WILL get 90 percent plus ratings but will also actually be 90 percent plus games quality wise too. If youd've read the rest of my post i stated that i agreed with im saying kz2 was overrated. I mean an average of what? 92 percent for kz2, and i thought it was a 7.10, THATS overrated.
