Over-hyping, as said before, is just when hype gets completely out of control, to the point where the game in question absolutely cannot deliver. This occurred for GTAIV and Halo 3, as well as possibly for Red Steel, and definitely for LBP and Killzone 2

LBP scored a 95... how did it not deliver?
KZ2 scored a 92... same question.
Halo 3 scored a 94 and people still play it online to this day.
Only games I see on that list that released and later on recieved a lot of hate from it's userbase were Redsteel and more notably GTA IV.
Unless of course you are talking about sales which in that case you remove GTA IV and Halo 3 from your list. Although hype most of the time is in regards to quality and not necessarily sales.

That would be me saying they're overrated. The issue is that the games in question were supposed to change the world. GTAIV would annihilate not only Mario Kart Wii, but also the movie Iron Man. Halo 3 was supposed to be the biggest media event of all time. Killzone 2 would secure PS3's superiority forever. Red Steel would be the most immersive game to date.
It's not an issue of their quality as games, but they were hyped to be more than just games: to be epochs, to be turning points, to be miniature (or major) revolutions. To change the world around them.
