gimmicky

'Gimmicky' is used to describe something that attracts the attention from mainstream media, but when explored in-depth it turns out to be rather underwhelming and overhyped.
An item or product is said to be 'gimmicky' if it lacks innovation or any outstanding traits.
Todd: "Hey man, have you seen the new game that came out recently?"

Jesse: "What game..? Oh, *that* game. Meh, it looks kinda gimmicky."

Gimmicksphere

A buzzword to denote a product or service that, although showing much promise for paradigm shift-creating greatness, languishes in the ether as a result of failing to prove its worth beyond gimmicky uses & implementations.
However, despite years of serious development and now wider adoption by content providers and consumers alike, it has yet to emerge from the gimmicksphere.
