I might get flamed for this but I think Portal 2 was kinda over rated. Was it fun and witty? Absolutely. But not much replayability to it, and the puzzles were much easier than in the first one and tended to repeat alot.
The most overrated franchise of this generation has to be Halo in my book. I just don't understand how it's (still) so popular. I understand why the first two were so popular on the original Xbox... besides being the only real notable exclusive games on the system, you had the best local multiplayer since Goldeneye in Halo 1, and Halo 2 was the first breakout online multiplayer console shooter. But everything since then from Halo 3 on has been the SAME EXACT SHIT, just with even more annoying 13 year olds online, and the gameplay feels slow, clunky and dated compared to most other modern shooters.
Most overrated franchise of all time? Final Fantasy easily. Except for II (IV) and III (VI) on the SNES, there was nothing to write home about the franchise pre-VII. Then in 1997 most gamers who never even heard of the FF series jumped on the FFVII overhype train, and that along with the anime boom of the late 90's and early 00's here in the US helped propel the series to stratospheric heights despite the "gameplay" becoming more linear and uninspired with each release, culminating with the dud that was XIII.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
