I'd be fine with this if there was discussion and an attempt to come to a consensus. However, this is quite close to ending up in Can I Play With Madness?
 
OK.

Let's remember this is a new forum member who is trying to participate. That means we give a little leeway before we immediately complain about the content of the post. I have cleaned up this thread to reflect that reality.

The correct way to do this is to ask for some details. A discussion around what's overrated/underrated could be interesting and it's a common topic.

If you don't want to participate, please don't.
