These games are by far the most overrated games of 2010, they were hyped almost to death. But did they live up to it?

Good list
as all of those titles failed to live up to the hype

nice to see even though the authors favorite game is Reach he realized how it doesn't live up to the hype

SixZeroFour4875d ago

problem with hype is that its the FANS of the franchise that blow it out of proportion, not the developers themselves

im mean, the devs do hype up their games (why wouldnt they) but they usually dont go out to say its the be all end all of the genre they are in...thats where the fans come in

paintsville4874d ago

UC2, KZ2, Metal Gear, GT5, and PS3HDWii wavy around pink ball thingy Wii copy ... Yeah the move.

Vherostar4874d ago

Should have been a list of games not living up to hype of something else as GT5 isn't over rated. Looking at metacritic rating and bad reviews how can it be over rated?? If anything its under rated due to bad reviews. The rest of the list is bang on though.

MintBerryCrunch4875d ago

you're killing me with the misspelling of Gran Turismo....you even had the box art to help you and you still missed it

Snatcher4875d ago (Edited 4875d ago )

Where??

Oh, in the tags, nevermind.

Gran Turismo 5: Prologue xD

MintBerryCrunch4875d ago

he fixed it...it was Grand Turismo when i saw it

SoSLy4874d ago

Gran Turismo 5 is overrated? i dont get it, i thought critics everywhere are rating it 8-9. It was put down by every critic online without even giving it a chance, I dont get how that is overrated.

Orionsangel4875d ago

It's matter of opinion. I loved Fable II and I'm loving Fable III. The guy who wrote this article obviously doesn't and apparently he thinks he speaks for the World.

visualb4874d ago

yes its a matter of opinion...thats why its categorized under "Opinion Piece" =/

Orionsangel4874d ago

Yeah but the source doesn't label it opinion. The person who wrote that article acts as if his list is the final word.

awiseman4875d ago (Edited 4875d ago )

Will get lots of hits because Reach on the list. Nothing like a ps3fanboy gang up on one of the best fps on the market right before new years.

Bloodyghost4875d ago

No. If it was full of Xbox Exclusives, probably yes but that it has GT5 too means something.

Focker4204875d ago

If it truly was a PS3 fanboy bashing then they wouldn't throw GT5 under the bus. I actually can see where they're coming from on that. It was everything I wanted in a racing game and went above and beyond my expectations. But I definitely could see where alot of people wouldn't like it.

Vherostar4874d ago

Best FPS on the market isn't even on a console...

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran819d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto18d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia19d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger19d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie19d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie19d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh19d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

A thermos is upending the Alan Wake community

Remedy has Alan Wake merch on sale, including a pretty blue thermos. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan, and many players who want a thermos find themselves without one, though it does appear that Remedy is attempting to fix things. Nevertheless, it has resulted in a lot of upset, illustrating just how much the thermos means to Alan Wake fans.
