This is supposed to be a list of the top ten video game turkeys, but they just list games that didn't live up to hype, or that they felt didn't.

That is NOT what a turkey is. A turkey is a critical and financial failure regardless of hype. This list is like calling Matrix Revolutions a turkey. The film was a major disappointment, not a total bomb, since it made a profit ($400+ million worldwide). A turkey is supposed to be Howard the Duck or Ishtar.

Even Lair isn't a proper call due to a) it has some legs, and b) most of the PS3 games are selling low in the US.

A turkey in gaming would be Bomberman Act Zero, since the game is a critical and financial bomb. 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
