RE 5, Gears of War 2, Assassins Creed
Yes, yes, yes! I would cry ninja, but in this case I'm happy to see I'm not alone.
I'll add GTA 4, H.A.W.X. and... *hulk*... The Sims 3 (just uttering it's name makes me cringe)

I would add Halo 3 but being mentioned in this thread necessitates being a game.

I don't want to bash Halo :( it's just an urge I have to either find medication to control or learn to master... Oh, look! Alcohol!
Well I would include Halo, but I don't really find it all that overrated. Sure the fanboys make it out to be God itself, but I think it is an amazing online game and the attention it gets is well deserved. (NOT A HALO FANBOY) *Grabs anti flame gear*

2 things: what the deuce is a flame war? am I the only one not filled in on this? secondly. I find that if I say halo sucks on a post about them making an anime for it, I'm the worst thing to happen since michael jackson bread slathered in Hitler jam, yet if I say halo sucks donkey balls here I'm commended for it and given a reasonable sum of money and a medal of honor. I don't feel so confused as I do misplaced.

Ok, a lot of people have mentioned how this thread could result in a Flame war, and I agree. It was rather foolish and short sighted of me to initiate such a thread.

I would really not want to be responsible for any Flame wars, so until I can find some way to cancel this (bare in mind that I'm still new here) I ask people to avoid this and basically act as if it doesn't exist.
Honestly it's been fine, so far everyone is just naming their opinion, it COULD become a flamewar, but I seriously doubt that will happen unless someone wants to get banned...

From what I gather a flamewar is where people leave insulting comments against each other, or something.Whatever it is apparently it's quite bad and I need to avoid it.

Basically I would like it if people could simply speak their peace on this thread and not have others attacking their opinions. So if you think Halo was the most overrated game of this current gaming generation, then say so, and if anyone disagrees with anyone else's view then they can take it elsewhere.

Cool, it's just that I am new here and wouldn't want to get off to a bad start.

As long as it stays like this then I really hope it'll be a good thread

Hey! Guess what? SOMEBODY SAID HALO!!!

I'm going to go ahead and say that Halo 3 is underrated because of all the hate it gets.

I have to say all of them. I haven't seen a fun game come out since Rayman: Raving Rabbids. Which is for the Wii of all things.

I'm not trolling here, but everything that i've seen come out has been either another shooter, or a movie tie in, or a "sandbox" game. I miss the days when gaming felt more like fun than a chore or an endless line of depressing days waiting for something new or interesting came out.

If you like shooters or sandbox games, that's great. If you like movie tie ins, you maaaay need a little help there, but whatever. You can have your fun, but i miss my stupid N64. A lot.

Can I shout the words "CALL OF DUTY 4!!!" loud enough? I mean, it was an average, generic game that wasn't really bad, but wasn't all that good either. Yet every single person I see talking about it is praising it like it's the second coming or something. Just what exactley was so amazing about it?

A flame war is fan of A vs fan of B generally, and its just bashing as opposed to civilized debate. As in "Halo sucks" "Fuck you, Halo is the shit, you suck at Halo which is why you hate it" and such, though I assure you it is rarely so legible.

I was there, actually!

I dunno, most games are overrated, even good ones.
