Why Reach? Halo 3 seemed to live up to most peoples inflated expectations. I voted for God of War 3 because somehow its expected to be a system seller or something.


Because Halo 3 and odst diden't blow away my expectations so I doudt that reach can surprise me.

All those games have inflated expectations but that doesn't make them over-rated. Expectation vs result doesn't mean a game is over-rated or under-rated. Under-rated means that the game got less praise after release than it deserves and vice-versa. Since something like GOW is more niche I would expect more people who hate the game to consider it over-rated than Halo: Reach.

Edit: In addition to this, considering that GOW 3 will probably rank with the highest graphics scores and given the numerous gameplay vs graphics arguments coming strongly in favour of gameplay >>>>> graphics in terms of number of proponents, these same people may consider it to be over-rated based on that metric alone if considering review scores.
