Im voting ME2. I own the first (and have beaten it) and I will definitely buy the second (on PC). I still think its completely overrated. I enjoyed the game, but in no way shape or form do I absolutely love it. I think its over hyped, but that does not mean it is not worth my time.

Why Reach? Halo 3 seemed to live up to most peoples inflated expectations. I voted for God of War 3 because somehow its expected to be a system seller or something.


Because Halo 3 and odst diden't blow away my expectations so I doudt that reach can surprise me.

All those games have inflated expectations but that doesn't make them over-rated. Expectation vs result doesn't mean a game is over-rated or under-rated. Under-rated means that the game got less praise after release than it deserves and vice-versa. Since something like GOW is more niche I would expect more people who hate the game to consider it over-rated than Halo: Reach.

Edit: In addition to this, considering that GOW 3 will probably rank with the highest graphics scores and given the numerous gameplay vs graphics arguments coming strongly in favour of gameplay >>>>> graphics in terms of number of proponents, these same people may consider it to be over-rated based on that metric alone if considering review scores.

You picked - exclusively - games that are almost guaranteed to be legitimately fantastic

Why?


I picked exclusives because most of the time there a hype the most .

....I am not talking about exclusives. I'm saying you exclusively picked games which are more or less guaranteed to be fantastic. Why did you do that?


Because thse games to me have the most hype and have more of a chance to be overrated.

It's hard to hype vaporware



I picked FF13 but I should have said Reach. I know Halo is Halo so it'll be a good game, but it looks like just a spinoff and not a sequel/prequel (or whatever it is)



I voted for COD7 but there still games there that I have a feeling will be another overhype shit e.g FF13 and reach.



Either God of War III or Halo Reach (imo).



I wanted to pick Alan Wake but it is not there :s How could you leave out one of the biggest 360 exclusives? lol

I say Alan Wake since it looks a tad bit boring. I was interested in this game until I seen the gameplay video of the guy walking around some kind of ranch flashing his torch on some supernatural beings. I think the story will be far better than the gameplay, then again I might be wrong, but then again from what I have seen, it doesn't rock my boat :S
