Mirror's Edge. It looked so hot from the E3 trailers, but the really sucky story and the dumb combat pulled it down...

Great mention, I was expecting a much more.

Oh this! I forgot about Mirror's Edge. This game sucked!

I know, right? That story was soooo crap.

Yeah, all the free running, time trials etc. were awesome for me, but the rest of the game was really shitty.

yea i'm gonna have to go with assassins creed, lucky me i borrowed it from my cousin. i was in disbelief of how the game ended and how unsatisfied i was, and i was in disbelief of how redundant the game play was, i envisioned that it was gonna play like god of war or prince of persia. nope it played different and i will say play fun in the beginning. but soon i realized it just not my type of game.

The Force Unleashed. I was expecting an excellent game, and I got a pretty good, buggy seven hour campaign which I never wanted to replay again.

It's underrated, though. The story was good.
