Most overrated

DOTT: Awful and unrewarding puzzles that only make sense long after you've solved them, no story.
GK2: By far the weakest of the series, with some terribly uninspired parts (esp. the whole chapter 4) and really awful acting.

Most underrated

The Pandora Directive: But I guess it's just that people haven't taken the time to explore the various paths, especially the dark one.
Conquests of the Longbow: I can't see how anyone could think this game is anything but perfect.
The Dig: People keep saying that the puzzles are hard, or don't make sense. Yet, it's one of the only game that never frustrated me, while never being awfully easy. I got stuck a lot, but I'd just stop for a while and always return with new ideas and figure out the solution -- which is a feeling I love when playing adventure games.
