Alone in the dark hands down

That's it. I loved Nintendo Powers headline when reviewing the game. "Leave it alone." haha

GTAIV was kind of disappointing too. I just didn't have time to play it though. That's the only game I've ever sold to GameStop.

such a tough choice...there were so many to choose from.
but i would have to say that, to me, SW:TFU was the most disappointing.

Haze ! i was hoping for a good coop shooter XD and it had really good trailers too damnit ! didn't play the full game but the demo sucked ass !



Check out my game about moles ^

The Last Remnant.



Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

This was supposed to be THE game for me, and it was largely mediocre. Lucasarts tried to do too much, overseeing development on 5 platforms. They were spread too thin and it shows.

GTA IV, no doubt for me. High anticipations, long, hard fall.

Haze isn't a multiplatform game.

Out of the 3 multiplatform games I have for this generation (2 bought this year) Assasin's Creed is the biggest disapointment. Now, that doesn't mean I didn't get what I expected, I just don't play many multiplatform games.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Its hard for a game to be a disappointment (Alone in the Dark) when no one was really expecting anything from it in the first place. You can't really disappoint if you were never supposed to deliver.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Alone in the Dark.



I actually loved the 360 version of Alone in the Dark, despite it's many many horrible problems. Guess I'm the only one.

GTA IV was probably the biggest multi-platform let down for me. I never bought into any of that 10/10 crap or even had all that high expectations, but as a sequel it is both far less fun and far less featured this its predecessors. No tanks, no flamethrowers, no chainsaws. They even removed vehicle customization and property to buy. For what, shiner graphics and a slightly less lousy storyline?

Also, what’s wrong with Far Cry 2? I was thinking about renting it, but hearing it come here a few times is making me wonder.
