Few will argue with the fact that the below games are fantastic - hence why the fiercely-debated Call of Duty, though popular, didn't make this list - though that doesn't stop them from harbouring some less-than-savoury truths that they hope most gamers won't ever come to realise. Whether it's their true lack of substance, an ill-advised tonal change that their franchise took, or simply the fact that a classic game hasn't really aged all that well, these 10 games impressed most of us, though on reflection, we have to recognise that not a single one of them is even remotely close to "perfect". Granted, each of these games is awesome enough that we're prepared to look past the harsh reality, but we should never forget it, otherwise we risk just becoming another blind fanboy (as may account for many of these games' enduring popularity in the first place). Take a step back and realise that these 10 games are glaringly flawed, if still excellent...
10. World of Warcraft Requires No Skill Whatsoever
The Awesome: For the better part of a decade, World of Warcraft has reigned supreme as the world's most popular MMORPG - peaking at 12 million users, and presently resting at roughly 7 million - while also spawning countless expansion packs, pop-culture spoofs, and even an impending movie.
The Truth: Though infamous for its fiendishly addictive gameplay, WoW really is just another repetitive MMO that doesn't require much skill to beast through. It's all about how much of your existence you are prepared to pour into the game - that is what will largely determine how much you get out of it. Though the large player base helps us become immersed in this huge world, it's really pretty simple stuff that relies on players spending their time away from work just throwing themselves into another kind of grind.
