I could go on about IGN being ignorant and stuff but since Metroid: Other M is nowhere to be seen on that list I will just shut up.

So...EVERYTHING! time To get the Fuck out of Dreamland IGN.

Kinect, MOVE, Fable 3 are all excellent..IMO. Far from disappointing.

Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords

It's because it wasn't development for 5 years.

For all the time and effort that went into Gran Turismo 5, it should have been #1.

I guess my definition of "disappointment" differs from everyone else, but for me, a disappointment is expecting a good game and getting a mess, I expected a good game and got a great game.

As someone else asked before, why isn't Fallout NV on the list?

That's one way to look at it, but you gotta remember this formula: T * 0.5 plus 8. A game needs atleast an 8 to be considered good according to the Metacritian Standards and for each year the game has been in development it needs to add 0.5 to the final score. GT5 needed atleast 10.5 to come out as a non disappointment.

Also, this Ignian law is important to know: when you are aiming for hits; the bigger game you bash, the better.

ah wow, it's a whole 2.0 disappointing...that is quite bad, I guess it also explains why F:NV is not on the list... you sir are a winner.

I agree completely about FFXIII being the biggest disappointement.

Funny, no Fallout: New Vegas there when IGN named it their most anticipated game of 2010 and it turned out to be a pile of crap.

Fallout NV is a great game that launched with bugs, and for my 2 cents, I would have predicted NV's score a LOT quicker than I would have guessed that GT5 was going to end up at 8.6 on metacritic.

New Vegas is a resounding success imho. Just launched with a few bugs.
