Over-rated: Anything with the words Call of Duty in the title. Well, anything since about CoD 4. I enjoy Black Ops but none of the CoD games are anything near to what the pre-release hype or massive fan base would lead you to think.

Underrated indeed.

While at first glance, "Secret of the Magic Crystals" appears to be a simplistic, repetitive game designed to entertain young children with little more than pictures of virtual ponies, it is, in fact, a brilliant critique of the socio-economic climates of the European Union.

At the beginning of the game, the player is informed that "[a] special meteor hit the atmosphere of the Earth a long time ago.", resulting in the main character's grandfather collecting 'magic crystals' from it. During this introduction, it is revealed that "[the] crystals give special abilities to horses..." This satirical critique of the oft-espoused claims of religious Fascist groups across Europe; that God has chosen some to benefit from the work of others through divine intervention, sets the tone for a thoughtful, hilarious and revelatory piece about the state of affairs in the European Union today. If you are studying the effects of the debt crisis on the people of Europe, this game is a must-play.

To me, Half Life 2 is overrated. STOP. READ THIS FIRST BEFORE RAGING.
I really liked the game, weapons are really good and balanced, physics-based puzzles are amazing and the gravity gun is useful and fun to use. But...
What the hell is that plot? ZOMG MR FREEMAN, GORDON, FREEMAN, GO GO, FREEMAN, GORDON, FREEMAN HURR DURR, KILL EVERYBODY, BLA BLA BLA END. Some people told me "Play HL2 for its amazing story", but the story itself was really stupid and inconsistent. I think that everybody should play it, though.

On the other side i think that Nfs: The Run was pretty underrated: ok, those stupid QTE are really useless and the story is fairly weak, but it is fun, it has cool cars (Audi R8 <3) and some nice moments full of adrenaline, like the race against the attack helicopter, under an endless stream of bullets.

True. Story of HL2 is getting interesting only at the end. Episodes are much more fun. But still it's a quite good FPS.

I must say that I have to agree on Bioshock. The ambiance, the story and the overall design are pretty neat, but as a FPS, the game fails quite hard in my opinion. You always have to empty half of your magazine even to kill the weakest of your enemies, and that becomes annoying pretty fast, especially because the munitions are rare if I recall correctly. You can also add the tedious hacking phases and the vita chambers to the cons.

(For those who haven't played/finished the HL series as of now(Why the hell haven't you?) stop reading because of SPOILERS)It continues off of HL1: You get teleported off Xen into some other alternate dimension on a train with the ever-so-mysterious "G-Man" who puts you in some weird coma thing for years and then pulls you out of it for you to meet up with some people from Black Mesa, and story short, you're supposed to bring down a global dictatorship.

"Heard bad things hurp durp, shitty DRM durp hurp, 2005 graphix durpity hurp" When in reality it's a genuinely fun and lasting game.

Underrated, hmmm... Dreamfall - The Longest Journey. It's shadowed by the original which is sad.
Prince of Persia 2008 is also way too underrated. Might not play the same as the ones with the Free-Form fighting system, but the platforming is great, the visuals are incredible.

I purchased Diablo 3 the day it was released and played it for about 26 hours worth of time on my Witch Doctor. I enjoyed my first playthrough regardless of the connection issues. That said, I have not had the desire to finish the last act of my nightmare playthrough. It is good but with a game like torchlight 2 on the horizon and it only costing $20 for Both 1 and 2 on steam I felt that Diablo 3 brought nothing revolutionary to the table to justify its cost. I am also not particularly fond of the real world item shop.
