Sony, mostly because of the Resistance titles. I don't think I'll ever understand how two of the most boring, generic shooters I've played in a long while were so highly rated.

As much as I love my PS3, I do have to agree wholeheartedly about Resistance.

most of those actually lived up to their Hype.

and Pokemon is a Handheld Franchise AKA. DS and Gameboy (mostly DS for this GEN).

I never have, never will be a platformer fan. But I'll be damned if Little Big Planet isn't the most unique thing since forever in the platforming world. That's the last title I'd classify as overrated.

Overall for me, the Wii. I just don't find any Mario, Zelda, etc. game appealing, even after playing them at other people's houses.

Halo, Resistance, Uncharted, Gears of War, God of War, Forza, and Fable are all incredibly overrated exclusives. So, 360. However, they all suck, console gaming died a long time ago.

Yeah, pressing R1 and X is a real chore. Oh, let's not forget the joysticks. Chore to end all chores.

I agree. I'm not a platforming fan by any stretch, but everything about LittleBigPlanet felt very fresh and creative.

I agree with the people who say Resistance, I didn't like those games 1 bit! Fable also I find a tad overrated, it's fun but... Not a top tier franchise.

Saying things are overated is overated. There are lots of games and genres I think are overated but other people love 'em (I'll never understand the love for Gears or Fable for example), personal tastes FTW!

Me too, I hope insomniac make a new platforming/ adventure IP soon.

Resistance is overrated, but I definitely had some fun with the 2nd one's multiplayer.

I don't like the word overrated, but just to play along, I think they all have their overrated franchises.

I'll just say that Resistance is incredibly overrated. It's extremely vanilla. I believe the first one simply got its acclaim because there wasn't much on the PS3 at that time. I imagine that Resistance: FoM would be quickly forgotten if released after Killzone 2 which was superior in just about every way.

However, this doesn't mean I'm saying anything about the other PS3 franchises.

I like the first one's splitscreen, but the game just lacks distinctiveness even down to the way it looks.

Killzone 2 has a fantastic rusty gritty sci-fi thing going on while Halo has a unqiuely lush look.

Resistance has....no distinct style at all...

graphically the Resistance series is horrible

but i always found Fall of Man fun just because of insomniac's weapon creativity, the guns in that game pretty much make the game

that said if you put those guns in another fps it would make Fall of Man a waste of time, but it was still fun at the time and i kept it just because there's still a few people that play it online (also FoM is still one of the few ps3 exclusives with splitscreen campaign co-op as sad as that is)

The weapons are admittedly cool but the game has no atmosphere and the pacing is not too great which makes it hard for me to fully appreciate the weapons. But I will give it props in that area. The weapons actually come across much better in competitive multiplayer modes than the campaign.

I think you are being over harsh on Resistance. First one was ok, for its time... same could be said for most games. For example, PDZ was good for its time, but now it sucks. R2 was solid, if a little bit unoriginal... but the coop multiplayer portion was epic and still doesn't have any direct rivals today. So, lets be fair ok...

How am I not being fair? I didn't say it was a piece of crap. It's not a bad game. I just said it lacked distinctiveness and that brought the experience down.

Same here, resistance 2 is the worst Ps3 game in my library and it had a fair share of hype in 2008 :?

Sony's Grand Turismo is waaay overrated to me, then again it might never out. I also don't see the appeal to soon to be franchise Infamous (oh the repeativness).
