These ten titles, though esteemed by many, are irrefutably the most glorified of the past ten years, and can guarantee you’ve played at least half of them.

Actually out of the ten of them The Sims is the only one I've played, and I own none of them. Although I will eventually get Galaxy.

Mehhh I disagree with that entire list for one reason only:

Harvest Moon is in his list.

Nintendogs? What the hell is that? You can't tell me that title sold well. I haven't played a single game on that list and I could probably find 100 gamers that the same thing in common, or at least for most titles. I would agree these games are overrated, if many of them got a high rating. Nintendogs?? Come on.... lol

Nintendogs is listed as the best selling game on the DS with something like 18 million copies sold, although that's split over about 5 or 6 different versions of the same game. It's sold a lot, but I don't think that it's ever been rated all that high by anyone.

This list is completely wrong!

I'm going to have to agree with that... also Super Mario Galaxy is wrong. And I don't think DoA is overrated more like it's where it is just because of what it is, if you want overrated Fighting games you need look no further than Mortal Kombat.

I'll agree with that. I've never seen the appeal of the MK series of games.

SONIC...highly overrated if you ask me.

Overrated means getting better reviews and scores than they deserve. In that context I miss some obvious culprits, Bioshock and Halo 2 & 3 comes to mind. The Getaway never got good ratings in the first place, so what is it doing here? I know it's a mediocre, disappointing game, but overhyped rather than overrated.

Actually, I'll go along with SMG and the first Black & White. The rest aren't overrated IMO. (reservations for those I haven't played of course, which is only Need for Speed, if I look closely...)

I don't agree with any of that list. I always thought the GTA series was overrated, it's fun but not that great.
