Definitely WoW. Warcraft 3 is great and I play it all the time, but WoW is too expensive (15 friggin bucks a month) and it really isn't as good as they say it is, though it is a decent game.

Halo1,2 and 3. God its another space shooter get over it!
Setting is barely relevant. Quality of gameplay is. Halo has both though, an excellent setting (And if you think all 'space shooters' are thematically equivalent, get out of my internets) and excellent gameplay.Quote:

I'll add my voice to those supporting Ocarina of Time as the most-overrated game ever.
Repeatedly rated in the top ten if not the best game ever by many publications and fan polls, it's not even the best Zelda game!
It follows the cookie-cutter Ganon/Zelda/Triforce storyline whereby you walk Link to each of the Temples containing either a piece of the Triforce itself or a "key" to reaching the Triforce, defeat the boss, rinse and repeat...oh, and play a few minigames like target practice in between.
In addition, OoT's game world was really empty and "dry" to me, and while the graphics were good for their time, particularly for a real-time action fantasy game, they certainly weren't the best out there.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love the Zelda series, it's still right at the top of my list, as a series. The games are always complete and well-made, and occasionally innovative. And I love OoT, it's a great game...but greatest of all time? Not even close. ALttP has very much the same overarching story and gameplay, but the game world is more richly developed in every way...3D graphics and cutscenes does not equal better, people!!!
I even consider Majora's Mask to be a superior gaming experience. People shun it because it doesn't have the epic Triforce storyline, but MM has a much richer game world and is a much better challenge.
