This thread is moot.

Surely we have to wait to see how good these games really are. MGS4 might live up to the hype, therfore it wont be overhyped.

Overhyped

Lost Odyssey
Halo Wars
Killzone 2
Ninja gaiden 2
Fable 2
Spore

Under Hyped

Metal gear sold 4 (I kid)

Alan Wake

Left for dead

No more heroes

I think you got Alan Wake and Ninja Gaiden 2 mixed... Alan Wake is the 360's Killzone 2... All this hype but no really info to back it up. Both games could be total flops

MGS 4 will not live up to the hype, which is so great it suggests it will be the greatest game ever, ever, ever, and will boost the PS3 to 500m sales within a week of its release

The fact that I think that MGS 4 and KZ2 are overhyped does not mean they will be bad games, just not god's gift to earth as many people are making them out to be

Overhyped:

Gears 2 (not officially announced yet)

KZ 2

MGS 4

Little Big Planet

Underhyped:

TS 4

Eight Days

Two days to Vegas

Getaway

Resistance 2

MotorStorm 2
