Top 10 Overrated Game Franchises of All Time

From the PlanetXbox360.com feature list:

"Ever since the dawn of man people have figured out that if you make something successful, and then make some similar to that first thing that it will also make millions of dollars. This is the basic premise behind all movie and video game franchises, and it has been happening since the beginning of both forms of entertainment. Sometimes it works great (Star Wars IV-VI) and sometimes it's a complete disaster (Star Wars I-III); because of this fact we decided to go back and pick what we believed to be the top 10 overrated game franchises of all time. Now this doesn't mean all the games in the chosen franchise were junk (maybe just half of the 8 games reminded us of feces), but for one reason (level design) or another (review scores) the franchise made our dreaded list. No fan-boy platform is safe and literally every virtual rock will be overturned in the search for the top ten video game overrated franchises of all time." (Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy VS XIII, Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XI A Crystalline Prophecy, God of War, God of War 2, God of War 3, Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero 5, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
