A phenomenon that occurs when a piece of media (mostly video games) is put on hiatus or when there is a very large gap inbetween releases, where people will overhype and praise the content to the high heavens, even before release. It then either doesn't get released or does get released, causing everyone to be disappointed because their soaring expectations weren't met, that weren't very realistic in the first place.
This isn't the doings of the developers, this is the doing of the community who in an attempt to keep their hopes up, make excuses about their favorite piece of media being or soon becoming the greatest piece of entertainement ever, e.g. Half Life 3. Aforementioned hopes are then usually crushed and they go to metacritic to rate the item a flat 1 or 2.

James: ''It was overhyped to all-hell and in development for like 10 years, ofcourse you were going to be let down.''
Adam: ''Classic case of Half-Life 3 syndrome.''

An absolutely AMAZING game for computers, with replay value that kicks that of the popular Xbox game Halo even though it was released three years earlier and is a sixth-person view game that runs in its own DOS shell, and it doesn't really measure up, graphics wise. You have the opportunity to customize virtually every aspect of the game, and this power is only enhanced with add-ins like WoG and Modhomm3. This is a phenomenal game that has kept me entertained since the day I bought it and you should also get it. Produced by 3DO.
I have beaten all of the scenarios and campaigns on "Impossible" difficulty, including all the 94 that I made. I needed a new challenge so I downloaded about 200 more. This is going to take a while.

Developed by Naughty Dog, this game is the third in the popular "Uncharted" series, exclusive to the PS3. Uncharted: Drake's fortune was an instant hit, and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, received countless game of the year awards and perfect reviews. Uncharted 2 has repeatedly been called "The best game ever".
Now, critics and buyers have high hopes for then next installment, officially titled Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception. We know that at least part of the game will be set in the Arabian dessert, and it is safe to assume that Drake's travels will take him to many different environments outside of Arabia.
Naughty dog has stated that the game will implement "enhanced backward climbing" (lawlz) and the ability to fight multiple enemies at once.
High hopes are set for Uncharted 3, and whatever Naughty Dog gives us is sure to be exceptional. We can expect the masterpiece to hit store shelves on November 1st, 2011.
