Super Paper Mario is shit.If a Paper Mario game is planned for the Wii U, I hope it´s like the GC/N64 iterations.



Around the Network

If anything, i thought the consensus was that Super Paper Mario got too little love simply because it was different than its predecessors.

Edit: post above mine is case in point.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Agree with most of them, most overrated games of all time.



most overrated games are not in that list
Assasins creed series and CoD are



Should the headline say "What's so great about that? Ars editors pick the most overrated games"

Well these were only chosen by a few people and they don't appear to agree.
But why would you say CoD is overrated? It's one of the most hated franchises on the internet and barely ever wins any awards (even though it should have won quite a few for its multiplayer).

because its rated higher than it should by media and fans
and i actually like more the sp than the mp :p



I'd replace Skylanders with CoD, no one cares for Skylanders imo, the rest seems to be spot on.



Where's Journey?



Needs: GTA4, MGS4, Heavy Rain, Smash Bros, Red Dead Redemption, LittleBigPlanet, Halo 3, Fez, LA Noire, Skyrim, all post-2008 COD games, Braid.

The gaming media certainly has given it little enough attention. It's huge with its target market, however.
