15 Most Overrated Video Games Of The Decade (So Far)

3. God Of War III

At some point - possibly at E3, as Sony seem to be bringing Kratos back again - they might as well just call it "God of War: Square, Square, Triangle" and be done with, as the winning formula from the first game has barely been improved upon since.

In GoW 3 Sony debuted the finest graphics seen yet on the PS3, but underneath all that bluster was a character and core narrative that was positively Postal-aping in its execution.

From the overblown brain-ripping Fatality-style special moves to more worrying things like Kratos lobbing a woman into a gear mechanism to stop it working, or sleeping with a prisoner's wife only to kill him later, God of War 3 was the definition of phoning it in; albeit with an angry bald man yelling "GO FOR THE EYES" from the other end.
