Six overhyped 2011 games that probably won't deliver

Six of 2011's biggest potential gaming disappointments

Portal 2: Look, we know this is going to be controversial. But we just think that Portal 2 is going to be the difficult second album. Now that it's being tailored for consoles as well as PCs, and it's getting the mass-market treatment, we think Portal 2 is going to be dumbed down and cutesier than the original. Don't get us wrong, we'll play it, but we just think it's going to be aimed at the kiddy, easy-to-play market. We're holding out hope to be surprised, but let's be honest - does anyone else remember how bad Call of Duty 3 was on the Wii? Once the mainstream market picks up on what used to be an original concept, it messes it up.
