How is Bungie overrated? They've released plenty of amazing games (Marathon, Myth, Oni, Halo).

from those two choices I'd say Bioware, just cause I hated playing Kotor and I'm a huge Star Wars fan, otherwise I'd say Rockstar, unless GTA4 brings something new to the table they seem to be a one trick pony

Why are Bioware and Bungie on there?  I'd say square enix, their last few FF games were horrible and sold and were reviewed based off brand name, 5 years ago I wouldn't say this.. but today, they are overrated big time...

Insomniac. I find their games, though technically proficient, to be joyless affairs devoid of anything resembling fun. The only game I've ever played that might have felt as sterile and generic as Ratchet & Clank would be Resistance: Fall of Man.

Ok. I don't know why so many people come here and try to get a rise out of others with joke comments, you're not yo-foo. And if you're serious, then you would actually make me laugh.

The only one who's laughing is me in pity at you, because you can't see the truth about what trash KOTOR is. Some day though, maybe you will become open minded and see KOTOR for the rubbish it was/is.

Bungie isn't overrated and bioware is not overrated. It takes time and skill to make good games, not one game company in the world has released a no.1 straight off the bat. I mean if you seen some of the great companies first attempts at games you would laugh. I would say square-enix is alittle over-rated, they have tried new ips but without the skills from there final fantasy and dragon quest dev teams they other teams just lack direction, i mean look at kingdom hearts that had help from the two big dev teams at SE and it turned out great.

See: Critical Acclaim. I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing it in case some genius comes along and tries to agree with you. As for the sales aspect, I'm not going to waste my time looking for those figures: but Bioware is still making exclusives for MS consoles, so I guess they're doing just fine. Friday night=going out and not wasting any more time on you, enjoy arguing "bu bu but I'm teh manticore" while I'm not here.

Rockstar. And could you make the poll any more bias? You should have at least included 5 options...

Play Viva Pinata, it's a fantastic game, and very much on par with most of the N64 successes.

Dude he did the same thing last week when he left KOTOR off of his "greates Star Wars games" poll, he's just trying to troll. Best to ignore -Ramirez-.

Square nix or Kojima productions.  Square can't make a decent game outside of JRPG's and even they have been lackluster the past couple of years and Kojima productions because the MGS games never should enter a conversation about the best games ever.  MGS is a good series but doesn't deserve to be mentioned with the best.  Sony fans make him my most overated pick.

For a smaller company, it shouldn't surprise you that they only have 3 IPs. Not every company releases a new IP every year like Ubisoft.

Oblivion could have been 8 times bigger if they like rockstar only include minimal AI code...in San Andre's the NPC's are mindless and only have simple responses to stimuli...In Oblivion every character is a unique person who actual carries out a daily routine and respond to your character like you are a real person...Oblivion world may be smaller but 100 times more rich and vibrant
