We've all discussed our favorite video games, missions, and bad guys.

But in your opinion, which video games are the most underrated and overrated and why?

For me, the most underrated video game (s) are the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series.

If you are looking for graphics and action, it isn't the game for you.  But it's a great strategy game where your object is to unify ancient China.  You have several play options, including starting as a province ruler, or an advisor, or a general or ronin.  I have typically played as a ruler.  You have to build infrastructure, make sure there is enough food, keep the people content, forge alliances, recruit generals, stave off attack, attack and conquer other provinces, etc.

In my experience, the most overrated video game was the original Legend of Zelda.  It got a lot of fanfare when it was first released, and I played it, but I didn't get what all the hype was about.
