Of course stuff can be overrated.
If some people wouldn't teach others on how to judge art, and not explain what constitutes the sophisticated qualities of art and media, then even more people would get carried away and be wowed by Avatar, Twilight and Call of Duty.
People, game reviewers in this case, allowed themseves to be carried away and be mightily impressed by GTA4 (98% Metacritic rating). There's almost universal agreement that that game was overrated.
But I do agree that the expression overrated often is misused in lazy and unintelligent ways.
