Victims of Hype

To me, there is one game that fits this topic perfectly. State of Emergency.

Ok, it's kind of old, but it's absolutely halarious how this game is constantly named the worst game ever made. It's far from that. However, after winning all the E3 awards, and then GTA III coming out of no where to spawn the biggest franchise of the generation, SOE was hyped beyond measure, and couldn't live to it. What's funny is that, for years, when I had non or light gaming friends come over, I would pop that game on (usually the last clone standing which you take a gun and shoot everything that moves), and people absoulutely loved it. They were shocked when I said this was constantly called the worst.

So, here is my nomination for a game ruined by hype.

oh forgot Halo, i still don't understand what's the fuss is about. The helmet is cool though, i still haven't played the game yet, maybe never.[/quote]

Then why list it?

Interesting, i forgot why i list it, lol... I'm guessing b/c enough people said it's hyped, oh, i'm so biased toward Halo 3! Okay, to be fair, i bought the game just b/c the helmet looks cool. So, Halo 3 Legendary Edition is definitely super duperly hyped! Maybe not the game, it has to have some goodness in it right?
