I'd have to put Dead Island as an overrated game, if not simply disappointing.
By itself, the game's fun - and why wouldn't it be? It's an RPG where you kill zombies, and that's awesome. But after watching the trailer, I expected something else. When you see the trailer is seems as if the game was gonna touch on the emotional side of a zombie apocalypse. I was hoping that the game was gonna have ('scuse the pun) fleshed-out characters that you'd feel for if something ever happened to them.
I guess it's not really overrated, just more of a let-down

Dead Island would have been awesome if it would have been more like Left 4 Dead. Running around hitting zombies with a big stick got pretty boring pretty quick. The game needed way more action and at least a few easier to access guns.

I always thought HALO was over-rated. But looking at HALO 4 and what the developers call an emphasis on "mystery, exploration and discovery", I'm inclined to reconsider.
In fact, I think pretty much any alien invasion-themed first-person shooter of the past decade has been over-rated.

Well, this theme has been beaten to death. This and the feeling of loneliness. Even when part of something bigger you're always alone,
I also had higher hopes for AvP. But when a marine can stun a bug with a punch, it all goes downhill from there.

I just want a shooter that actually tells a decent story in the single-player campaign for once, rather than making it an extended tutorial for multiplayer.

Surprised that Final Fantasy VII hasn't been mentioned yet.
I like it but I think some people exaggerate on how good it is. I wasn't overwhelmed by emotion when you-know-who died and the story was a little confusing and didn't add up in a few places. The game is disappointingly too easy most of the time and the ending left me with a "That's it?" feeling.
But then again, I was not lucky enough to play this game in 1997.
Also, Pokemon games. I am a Pokemon fan but I'll admit that Pokemon games put me to sleep most of the time. B/W is an exception though since I haven't played it yet.

As much as I love CoD, MW3 was absolutely terrible. They did a terrible job with Multiplayer, lots of glitches, face off(aka boost mode) where ppl would join a 1v1 and boost for kills (xP) They did a decent job on banning, but still some flaws because people can boost and not get banned. Rant over, haha

I personally think the Heavy Metal games have been overrated. In fact, most car combat games are overrated. Because, while they try to do something similar to an FPS...they can't it's just not possible and in the end, these kinds of games just get boring after a hour or so of play.

As most have said CoD games are just hopeless, the story is too short and sometimes it doesn't even make sence. Again another that has been mentioned all NFS games after they stupidly tried to move away from the street racing style.

So, Shift's? I personally thought the SHIFT NFS could have been great, but a lot say that the physics are weird. Another one I was thinking of was NFS Undercover. Absolutely horrid.
