Just like Halo3 is "The best FPS to ever grace the earth" type of hype?
Well, I think that ME and ME2 both are good games, not my style but good games nonetheless that deserve the hype they get.
There are so many other games that get oodles of hype and it is wholly undeserving. My example already given for that.
*but that is what I get for being a PC FPS gamer first and foremost, just better selection there*
