Overated: Halo 3. Average run and gun with decent multiplayer. Clearly leaning on the games title and pedigree. Nowhere near as good as Halo 2.

Underated: Bioshock. While it may have gotten a lot of awards, there is no word on the street about it. Everyones either talking about Halo or Call of Duty. Bioshock is one of the most original and unique 360 games, but I guess its hardcore gameplay/story has left the general public alienated. It was made for hardcore gamers and hardcore gamers only. It isn't as accessable as say Halo 3 or Gears(Which are easier to pick up and play by anyone with basic FPS knowledge)

i tottaly agree bioshock gets no publicity, i think part of the reason is becuz it has no online. but it is still my favorite single player shooter

Over rated- Call of Duty 4. It did absolutly nothing to improve the series. Call of Duty 2 was better. CoD4, did nothing new and nothing better than any other shooter.

Under rated- Lost Odyssey. Awsome RPG. I wouldnt say it's terribly under rated, but it's about the only under rated game I can think of on the 360.

I don't think bioshock was made for just the hardcore, but rather catered and marketed towards them, making the mainstream just brush it off as another shooter. a female friend of mine who has never really liked video games simply because she finds the hole toys for boys thing alienating, actually enjoyed watching me play bioshock for 10 mins. she is a very well read and educated person so she was quickly able to pick up on the game's literary and social references in a short time and she actually said to me "you know I've never thought of games as an art form before, I think I actually want to play this".

Overrated: Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3. Both are good games, but people are making it out to be better than it really is.

Underrated: Darkness I guess.

Overrated: Halo 3, sorry fanboys, complain all you want, its not that good.

Underrated: Man I'm going to get flamed for this Killswitch. It was the first game I can recall that used the cover system. Given the graphics were a little above par for the time, given that its rather hard, the pacing and style is something that has become a mainstay feature in alot of modern shooters

Overrated: Assassin's Creed. Honestly, how did this get a 9.0 rating? I'm glad I ended up buying Mass Effect over Assassin's Creed.

Underrated: The Darkness. It's not really underrated, but more underlooked.

Overrated: Assassin's Creed. Repitition, anyone?

Underrated: Bioshock. It won tons of awards from people who actually play games seriously, but I know plenty of people who are casual about gaming and have never picked up this game.

Overrated-Halo 3. The first one was good, yeah, but 2-3 just didn't appeal to me.

Underrated-Kameo: Elements of Power. One of the best action/adventure games for the 360, and it gets hardly ANY notice. :/

Halo 3, Mass Effect are over-rated I think they're terrible, Halo 3 has terrible multi-player and Mass Effect, I just couldn't get into not saying its a bad game but I HATED it.

Under-Rated game has to be Bioshock and if I had to pick another I would go with Assassin's Creed, despite its serious un-replayability its very fun the second time around if you approach things different ways, like if you were stealthy the first play through go on the rampage through the second, I found the game to be fun the second time around. Bishock, its fantastic in every way except for the no multiplayer.

I'm tempted to say Halo 3 in the overrated category, but I never got into the Halo buzz so I'll recuse myself from nominating that one.

In the overrated category, I've got to pick Mass Effect. I say this even though it is a game I love dearly. It was, however, not all that it was cracked up to be.

In the underrated category, I pick COD 2 and 3. People bashed 3, but it was a good game. COD 2 was fantastic, yet I never hear anything about it.

Wow I thought I was gonna be one of the few but it looks like a lot of people agree that COD4 and Halo 3 are overrated. :)
