Max Payne's good. GOODH, ya HEAR. Overrated, sure, but if it scores 10 in all reviews, it still doesn't mean it couldn't really be worth 9 or 8.

But I agree with Susan - Perfect Dark must be the single most overrated game ever. What? "The best game on N64" you say? Prooves that your console sucks, then.

StarCraft 64 and Super Smash Bros were infinitly more fun the PD.

You are clearly ignorant of the well-mannered sophisticated intellectuals such as myself who play it, and who are sadly underrepresented in the CS community. Every game has cretins who play it, even Fallout... think about the old IPLY boards.

So do you think of yourself as a well-mannered sophisticated intellectual when you are taking a crap, or only when you insert a large object in your anal cavity ?

Playing CS makes him superior!

GTA Vice City was excellent but I think it was just a bit overrated. I liked GTA3 better..

Every Final Fantasy after 3.
Doom 3.
Half-Life 2.
Every spin/kick bullshit chinese console game not made for nes or snes.
Bloodlines. Even though it has its moments, its flaws are more apparent.
Halo. Which is a good game even though it is overrated.
World Of Warcraft. I've never played it but it is overrated. It has to be.

Max Payne wasn't near as overrated as games like Half-Life 2 and such.

Max Payne was mad fun.

My comment in no way contradicted your statement, however you would have to admit that the cretin factor of Counterstrike is somewhat more pronounced than many other, or even most other games.

It stands to reason that I'd be ignorant of your presence, or the presence of any other 'well-mannered sophisticated intellectuals' (sic) : I no longer play the game. That you play it however, is in a sense a metaphorical slap to the face of your claim.

As for the Fallout cretin/Counterstrike cretin comparison, it boils down to the medium. One needs not expose him/herself to hordes of drooling fuckwits in order to play Fallout, they can quite safely ignore the entire community, 'tis somewhat more difficult to do so with Counterstrike. At some point you will encounter them, however fleetingly, and at that time, one must hope that the theory of intellectual osmosis is false.

Isn't that the theory of intellectual diffusion?

Well yes, diffusion and osmosis. Formidable combination.
