10 Most Overrated Computer Games

Just going to start off with some notes: Just because a game is on this list doesn’t mean it’s bad, it just means it’s overrated. It might be a very good game, but it is not as big as it is hyped up to be. Also, this is purely my opinion, so please feel free to disagree.

1. Final Fantasy 7

This game was incredibly over hyped and was a major let down. Luckily, future versions of the game were much better.

2. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

This game I bought the day it came out, despite having to fight with my parents a lot to get my hands on it. It was a very good game, but it really was not as good as it was made out to be. It wasn’t revolutionary, the graphics were pretty terrible, and the game wasn’t as big and good as it was made out to be (you couldn’t enter 10% of buildings, let alone most, like they had said).

3. Call of Duty 3

This game was decent, but extremely short. The only really fun feature of this game was the split-screen multiplayer, but for some reason they removed this from the PS3 version of the game. Why, I’m not sure, but probably because of the widespread use of PS3 Online.

4. Assassin’s Creed

This game was very good, yes, but it wasn’t as good as we were told it would be. It wasn’t groundbreaking, it wasn’t phenomenal. The graphics, I love them, but the gameplay, not so much. This game was good, but massively overrated. It wasn’t the “Game of the PS3”, just another decent title.

5. Halo

Halo is not a bad series, please don’t get me wrong. It’s good, infact, it’s very good. But it is not as good as it is made out to be. I wouldn’t even consider paying $300 for an Xbox 360 to get Halo 3 (I do have an Xbox 360 though, but not Halo 3).

6. Enter The Matrix

This game can’t even be classed as fair or average. It was absolutely terrible. A friend of mine got it the day it came out, and I played it for 5 minutes before saying “this sucks”. I think Enter The Matrix is the only game that I have actually vowed never to play again.

7. Tomb Raider: Angel Of Darkness

There is a reason this series is called TOMB Raider, and it really should never have left the tombs of old. At least the developers learnt their lesson and quickly went back into the tombs.

8. God Of War

This game was incredibly overrated, and generally dull. If I wanted to play a real game, I’d buy Gears of War. Steer clear of this game, although it’s not terrible (like Enter The Matrix), it is not good either.

9. Lego Star Wars

This game is just terrible, especially when you’re older than 8 years old. The only good thing about this game is the laughter factor, which, while extremely strong, is also extremely short.

10. World of Warcraft

I know it doesn’t really fit in with the rest of the games on this list (all the others were available on consoles), but this game is so bad it deserves a special spot on this list. How can any game be worth $150+ per year, let alone one as fundamentally flawed and boring as this game. Please don’t ever play this game.
