Remove Fable and HS, and add Lair and GTA4, then change the order a bit, and it's a pretty good list.

RE5 metacritic over 85 for both version, sold over 5million copies, Yeah it lived up to its hype.

Street Fighter IV sits at a confortable 94 and has also sold tons but I couldn't be more unhappy buying it. I'm enjoying Soul Calibur IV morem and that's saying a lot.

I disagree with heavenly sword. It's a extremely good game. And the story is told amazingly well.

Check out my game about moles ^

I think it's a decent list, but Haze and Bionic Commande didn't have much hype to begin with.

They should be replaced with Lair and Star Wars Force Unleashed.

Haze has hyped up to be a "Halo killer".

Because of Haze, we will never see Star Wars Battlefront III or a new Timesplitters game :(

F*** Haze!

Amen.

Agree. They were judged to be "disappointments" for the same reasons, but Lair much, much more so than Heavenly Sword. From what i heard, Heavenly Sword was great, it just failed to be a game-changer like some made it out to be, while Lair had actual, fundamental problems.

Bionic Commando didn't pick up because people didn't "get it." It's as simple as that.

Now, about the hype part... I think I was the only one hyping the game here so that tells you a lot about this list!

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Heavenly Sword was a great game and shouldn't be on the list. It was short but great. I think GTAIV and Lair need to be on the list, not Resident Evil 5 (and definately not at number 1, this coming from someone who really didn't even like the game). And God of War is based on Greek mythology, not Norse.

Basically, half of this list is FAIL.
