I think the near universal habit of comparing just released games to the currently hyped ones is pretty insidious.
It downgrades a game with a completely different development cycle and frequently goals to a game that's not even out of the cooker yet. It's unfair to the game, builds potentially unreasonable expectations for games to come and just feeds into the "wait for the next big thing" mentality which keeps quality titles from being noticed.
