There are many console fps better than halo. Timesplitters, the orange box, Cod 4 to name a few. Goldeneye was more revolutionary than halo.

HOw did gta change gaming, they may be sandbox games but they are by no means the first.

He forgot Ninjabread Man.

 Man, you Australians are so smart. I agree with every game on this list, but I would also add
 Beyond Good & Evil <- this part is not a joke at all.

I am surprised to see Black & White up there. I hear nothing but good things about that game.

I never played it myself, but I want to check it out.

Is the first or second one better?

I agree though with SMG, yeah I played the game through until I beat bowser but after that what incentive is there to collect all the stars? Better yet, what incentive to collect them all over again with Luigi? Slighty altered Star Festival, is that it for wasting all that time?

It was good, but nowhere near a 10.

GTA IV should be on there as well.

SMG? Crazy Taxi? Nintnedogs? Sims? Fable? Yeah you really are 'reel gamers'.

Games that sold well but had both lovers and haters of that game are what we call over rated games. That applies to most top selling games of all time.

Anyway just enjoy your games and do not take it personally if someone says your favorite game is over rated.

That list is pretty insulting, to be honest. If those are the most over-rated games of all time, then the gaming industry is a shiny pot of excellence in an otherwise crap brown money driven world.

However, the reality is those aren't even close to being the most over-rated games of all time. Here is the real list, from yours truly from the PS1-PS3 eras:

10. The Elder Scroll Series: Morrowind and Oblivion. Excellent WRPGs, but these games score so well based on their vastness, they are great, but they are pretty much at least 5 to 10 percent over-rated on average.

9. Halo 3: It's a great game, but it just didn't evolve the series and certainly doesn't deserve to be called one of the best games of all time.

8. Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories, with an 85/100, nosir, that game isn't as good as Disgaea 1 by a longshot. It's over-rated by a good little bit, while Disgaea 1 is under-rated.

7. Final Fantasy X-2: It's not bad really, just about 8 percent over-rated

6. Nascar 2005: Chase for the cup 88/100 gamerankings

5. Tony Hawk Pro Skater series as a whole: You can hardly find one under 90/100. At least 3 of them are significantly over-rated.

4. Nintendogs - Obviously

3. Chrono Cross(It's good, but over-rated when you look at other JRPGs) 92/100 gamerankings(10/10 gamespot)

2. NCAA Football 2004: 93/100 gamerankings(This is a madden knockoff with crowd noise, and it didn't deserve AAA then, it doesn't deserve it now. Trust me, I played the hell out of it.)

1. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty: 95/100 gamerankings, this game nearly ruined the MGS series, and it's one of the worst games and biggest dissapointments that I have personally, ever played.

At the end of the day: sales numbers count a lot more than some stupid reviews of games. Actions speak louder than words.

 Second is better. The first was an entirely bloated game with impossible play mechanics and a rubbish interface. The second one is a pretty fun city simulator. I actually loved spending time just winning the game with popularity and volcanos. 

If you're anything like me though you won't use creatures - they are just a nuisance.

 I'm still pissed about Harvest Moon being on the list, the game is a niche series with a devoted fanbase that never gets any mainstream attention. How the fuck is that being over-rated? Its generally ignored by the majority of gamers for gods sake.

Was Crazy Taxi ever overrated??

SMG deserves the top spot though. A predictable choice, but thoroughly deserved.
