Instead of just calling out game after game in their own threads, let's just do it here.

My list of overhyped games.

The Conduit, Little Big Planet, Spore. And on an unrelated note I think Obama is a little bit overhyped.

I feel these games are overhyped. I have no doubt in my mind these games will be GREAt and they'll be FUN, but the level of hypeness has gotten a little out of hand in my opinion.

I agree with Untouch; this won't end well. I just felt the need to express my opinion.

A game that launches can live up to its hype. An unlaunched game still doesn't reach that plateau.

I don't agree that it's overhyped. I personally was excited for it, but that died down when the demos came out and it had disastorous reports of terrible controls.
