Probably COD and GTAIV. They're average at best, why do they sell 10million copies AND also some of the highest rated games of all time? How? They don't deserve to be up there with Zelda and Mario Galaxy, no way

Yes, they do. That's my opinion anyway :P and you can keep yours.

No, GTA IV was a complete backtrack for the series.

• Smaller area than San Andreas
• FAR fewer sidequests than any other GTA game since III
• Less compelling city area
• Poorer controls than the PS2 versions
• Too realistic

All of those things are what's wrong with GTA IV, because instead of focusing on the game, they focused on the graphics. I LOVE GTA, and have every one (Bar II), and GTA IV is certainly the weakest. IF a game can look good and play good, and follow in the series' landmark traits, whilst improving in weaker areas (i.e. Mario Galaxy 2), then yes, it should be heralded as one of the best games of all time. San Andreas is my 3rd favourite game of all time, GTA IV isn't in the top 100...

Same goes for FFXIII and Resi 5 IMO. Focus was on the graphics, not the gameplay. Lots of great games run into the ground because of this. It's almost sad...
