Most movie swordsmanship, too, although they at least have the excuse of needing to keep their actors safe from accidental disembowelment. Musketeers hacking at each other with rapiers is not the way I learned.
Of course, action in games and movies has to look cool. I can appreciate that. But to me, any coolness factor is greatly diminished when a maneuver would be clearly suicidal in real life. (And yes, that includes rolling on the floor to avoid sword thrusts.)
