Overrated Game Franchises

Why isn't Legend of Zelda or Final Fantasy on that list? And seriously, God of War and GTA classified as being overrated? I never hear anybody talk about those games. I can agree with Half Life, though.
Yeah, I don't really think God of War is that overrated. I don't see many people talking about it, GTA I can kinda see as overrated. And yeah, newer Zelda is overrated, mainly because I think us fans set too many expectations for the next installment.

I mean, the only game I can see as being overrated in the GTA franchise is GTA IV, and that game still didn't get as much attention as Gears of War or Legend of Zelda 24: Links Time Adventure with Trains.
 
Another one I don't get is the Ghouls and Ghosts series, it's not even that popular a series.
 
Here is the top selling franchises and how it correlates with this overrated list.


Top ten best-selling video game franchises:

1. Mario (222 million)[186]
2. Pok

I've never even heard of it.
It's a side-scrolling platformer game series about a knight taking on various sorts of monsters to save a princess. They're notorious for their extreme difficulty.

The game had a sequel too, didn't it? Ah, I can't think of the name off the top of my head.

I only know of three, Ghost's n Goblins on the NES, Ghouls n Ghosts on the Genesis, and Super Ghouls n Ghosts on the SNES. If there were any more of them I don't know about them.
 
I don't get how Mario and LoZ aren't on there. I've never understood how they're, "So amazing!"
 
Sonic the Butt*censored.3.0*ing Hedgehog. The only decent thing with Sonic's ass ugly deformed face on it was Sonic 1-3, everything else, including all the games and his "fan service every 5 seconds" anime were *censored.2.0*. Only reason he's still liked is because modern children have the IQ of a small rodent.
