25 Most Overrated Games of All Time?

AriesGeek writes "GameSpy is running the 1st of a 6-part special on the 25 most overrated games of all time. From the article: 'Over the next several days GameSpy is taking a tour through the 25 most overrated games of all time. It's not a pretty list. It's a tale of tragedy where hype gets out of hand, or good licenses and great ideas fail to live up to expectations.' You think Zero Wing will be on there?" As with previous charts, predictions for the Top 5 are welcome, we'll run another story at the end of the week to see how people did.

Yeah, stupid Splinter Cell by Randy+Wang · 2003-09-15 09:44 · Score: 0, Troll

I would have to agree with the whole Splinter-Cell thing, but more because the flashy graphics won't even run on anything but the most chunky machines. Well, not really well.
Another worthy contender would have to be... well, the entire Rainbow Six series. All have the same flimsy plot, usually poor graphics (with the exception of Raven Shield), and crappy sound. Not worth the plastic they make the cd's out of.
