Ha, I don't agree with you there. God of war is the best in the genre when it comes to Hack and slash. |

God of War isn't even in the same league as DMC or Bayonetta for hack n slash standards.

Killzone is highly underrated, yet it's a pretty solid shooter if you ask me. Ask a typical shooter fan and they won't know what Killzone is. Uncharted, on the other hand, I can agree with if people think it's overrated. |
I agree absolutely. Uncharted is, in my opinion, kind of overrated from a gameplay perspective, though the presentation is amazing.
Killzone, on the other hand, is very underrated. It would sell millions more if it were an Xbox game. The gunplay in KZ is just excellent, as good as I've ever come across. The ISA rifle might be my favorite gun in all of FPS-dom, and the sniper rifle is one of the best of its kind. Despite the game's flaws in certain areas, such as some of the forced and gimmicky levels, I just like the feel a lot. Sometimes about it just doesn't feel as generic as a lot of FPS games.
Genuinely looking forward to KZ4.

This isn't one author. They are multiple editors giving us their choice (all pick only 1) |
I skimmed over it, and did notice that.
Well, it makes for a pretty crappy list overall.

Gears 1 isn't 360 exclusive and neither is Halo 1 lol. I played both on PC. I'm not sure I agree with them about Halo but I do agree about Gears (1). |
Silly pezus, you should know PC gaming doesn't count.
Signature goes here!

But why are they douches for choosing these games? |
Because. It makes no sense that Twilight Princess is in there, at all. The game gets 0 praise, not even from Nintendo fans.
Of all the games, we know that PS3 games are the most over-hyped games in the industry. It's a fact. How do we know?
For one, you look at the amount of hype these games get online. Then, you compare them to their final sales, and it paints a funny picture.
Yet, even so, not 1 single PS3 game appears on the list.
As a collective group, that's what they are.
I voted for Twilight Princess. The first 2 trailers of the game were so widely different from the final product delivered, and it was a letdown in so many ways. The summary in your OP described my feelings very well. I would actually say Skyward Sword was an even BIGGER letdown (it actually makes me enjoy TP more..), but it wasn't an option on your list.
The Zelda franchise is my favorite video game franchise, too. :(

How can Wii Sports be overrated? It receives a lot of hate, but it was the first of it's kind and it's a really fun game.

FF7,Skyrim and Uncharted.And Skyward Sword is a bit overrated too.

It is rated 95 on metacritic. That's like saying GTAIV isn't overrated because today so many people think it's overrated. overhype =/= overrated |
I know, I looked for that in OP, but I didn't see any mention of metacritic, or ratings. I did the exercise on one or two of the items in the list.
The Halo paragraph made me lol
Sounds like a grumpy old man whos angry/cant understand why all the youngins are playing something he cant understand.
Note: Not a single Playstation IP listed. Cute.
