The trouble with this is hindsight is only useful in retrospect. A game can look promising pre-release but then disappoint, maybe the people who were bigging up game X thought it would be better than sex, doesn't mean they were blind.
I remember certain individuals bigging up White Knight, Modnation Racers Metro 2033 and Alan Wake as the best game ever in terms of visuals amongst other things only to change their tone after the games were release.
reversely, I would laugh at anyone hyped for Bayonetta thinking it was going to be a horrible game but it ended up being one of my GOTYs of last year.
