I can't think of any overrated series because every series is pretty good, it's just that some people don't like some series.

DEFINITELY NOT!!! Mario is a ton of fun. Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Mario 64, Mario Sunshine, and some of the other Mario games (as I like to call them - the side stories, lol), are CLASSICS. I started playing Mario when I was 5, I'm 21 now and still play them and look forward to their release. Can't wait for Mario Galaxy. On top of the fact, that you have to understand, Video Games in the 1980's weren't the same as they were today, nor were they as controversial. There weren't games with tons of violence and graphic images. Anyways, I think that Grand Theft Auto and Dead or Alive (when did this become popular anyways? Tekken smokes it, and always has) are the most overrated game series.

LOL got you.. but seriously Half Life 1 was good and they should have ended it there. I just cant stand that Gordon Freeman says nothing in the game and is told what to do most of the times. I am sorry but HL is not the best game for me out there.

I second that. It probably has the most contrived and ridiculouly over-dramatic stories I have ever heard of. Not to mention the gameplay isn't very good at all.

Metal Gear Solid. I really loved the first, but each title is worse than the one that came before, and no one seems to realize it.

The writing in MGS3 is absolutely painful.

No, he's right, Mario IS the most overrated game series. Too many, and not enough variety.

Halo most definitely. You know one game that could never be overrated though? David Hasselhoff's Secret Adventure. That would be awesome.

So true.  And the answer is Halo. As far as being overrated goes, MGS isn't as popular as Halo. I think it's underrated.

Agree with Metal Gear Solid. It's very annoying for gameplay.

Portal

The game is pretty damn funny, but the gameplay itself is just okay and gets fairly old by the end. If the game were any longer than 2 hours it would have been a real drag to finish.

Agreed. I'm a bit shocked someone said Mario. People actually enjoy Mario and not for purely nostalgic reasons.

People like Final Fantasy games for non-nostalgic reasons...

Yup, definitely Halo. Great games, but compared to others great series, neither the gameplay nor the story is that remarkable.
