Six overhyped 2011 games that probably won't deliver

Six of 2011's biggest potential gaming disappointments

Diablo III: Ditto with Diablo III. It's been a long time coming — almost 11 years have passed since Diablo II, and 15 years since the original, and both of these received universal critical acclaim. We know what you're thinking — why would Diablo III be any different? — but we have this to say: how can Diablo III live up to the expectations set by the first two? We're sure it will be excellent, but a long time has passed between drinks, and old memories are fond memories. For anyone who hasn't been playing the series recently, returning to Sanctuary could be a bit of a disappointing experience. And just like Starcraft II, we're thinking a major complaint will be that not really that much has changed between games.
