It's undoubtedly a great game. I just think the hype surrounding isn't appropriate. Just because a game is overhyped, doesn't make it a bad game. Most games that are hyped generally are excellent, some not so much. I just think some games, like Spore, LBP, and The Conduit, are overhyped like they will revolutionize the gaming industry.

Still to come overhyped games include Killzone 2, Gears 2, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, the Conduit and of course the biggest one Little Big Planet.

Short of several million this year, LBP is going to feel like a disappointment commercially, even though it shouldnt have too.

Halo 3. Without a doubt the most overhyped game ever.

LBP and Spore also saw their fair share of hype, but I don't personally feel they were overhyped.

Some thoughts.

First of all, it is tough to list unreleased games as being overhyped. We generally don't know if they deserve the hype until they are released. However, two games of this sort do deserve to be on the list: Brutal Legend and Ghostbusters.

Both made the cover of Game Informer and the latter was even featured in Nintendo Power. Both were then dropped by Activision-Blizzard and do not have publishers announced -- it is assumed but it is not definite that those games will ever be released.

Brutal Legend is being made by Tim Schafer,whose games have at best niche commercial appeal. Ghostbusters does not resonate with anyone under age 30 (or 35).

PS -- On Reggie praising LBP and Microsoft -- winners can be gracious.

I don't think Diablo 3 is overhyped... Yet.  When it gets closer to release with more information and a finalized class list, then it'll be overhyped.  However, the Diablo franchise has and always will live up to its hype. :)

what kind of game is obama? :)

wow were you guys wrong about lbp..
