Soldner : Secret Wars - Reading my review on this title should give a boatload of what was wrong with this title. This title was buggy, the singleplayer in this game was not even sandbox enough to be a sandbox game, that is if you could get through the title without it crashing. The multiplayer, was halfheartedly done so much that you could clip through almost anything at a moments notice. The memory leaks as well with this title with this title made this title almost unbearable to play at points. The publishers dropping this game so early after it's release did not make matters any better.
Terminator 3: War of the Machines - This title from Atari just was a buggy, incomplete mess when such a small game has memory leaks so bad that it can cause BSODs at the drop of a hat is virtually unforgivable. The game's mechanics and content showed it was nothing more thana severe waste of money, I am pretty sure our banking crisis could have been attributed to supporting a bank roll on games like this.
Gothic 3 - This game still needs alot of work, but a game of type in its genre was and still is soo poorly made, I am not suprised about how the community bit back at the Publisher (same publisher as Soldner), and Developers. The game's mechanics and graphical portrayal were mediocre in comparision to the like of the Witcher, Neverwinter Nights 2, and Two Worlds.
Star Trek : Starfleet Academy 3 - Taldren the original developers of this title shuttered almost a couple weeks after the release of this game. The problems were the content, which was buggy, and just not enough. Balancing in the game were highly questionable as well. You would find either Klingon or Borg in most of the servers, and each of the Maps would relfect the balancing issue. Playing as as a Romulan was a test in masochism. The multiplayer if the servers did have problems staying up, then the players who had either Windows XP Service Pack 2 or a router period had problems, Go into DMZ unlock alll the ports , still you could not find the servers. For most it took taking away the router to get it to work.
Star Trek: Legacy - Bethesda Softwork's most horribly failed title ever, this title is a space race version of Terminator 3. The main issues besides no way for fix the graphical anomalies, or the lack of capability to play online. Was the fact the title was an epic failure of mechanics, and gameplay. A few notables is there was really no collision detection, you fly up to planets you thought were huge which when you come up to them would be tiny, and did not play a factor on the battlefield in fact you could fire through planets and hit someone on the other side uninhibited.
Iron Man for PC - This title if it worked it just was a hodge-podge of horrible gameplay, but for many on release this game did not work so they just dealt with the loss of money.
Test Drive Unlimited - This was probably the only game I found myself giving the publisher and developer the middle finger so hard I really hoped they felt it. The controls were frustrating to get to work properly, the netcode and multiplayer capacity of this game litterally could've sucked chrome off a bumper. Now if the game worked well on a multi-core or just a PC properly period then I wouldn't be so angered, but since a Gamespot reviewer liked this game so much I will take great relish in imagining him choking on that game.
The Club - When SEGA is mass delivering CD Keys to the game on the website you kind of figure that something is amiss. Other than the shallow gameplay, you have a game that really had more love, a whole lot more love technically the game was stable, but the game just didn't have enough in the way of features with the game being so short already, and the maps most of the time just repeating, thre was just not enough.
Blacksite: Area 51 - I am sure this is Midway's most sincere effort to ask the consumer base for an extended loan. Because, the game itself could not be a legitimate retail product. The title is a half-hearted experience of every average first person shooter you have ever played, and all of them thrown together, and actually made into a title far worse than what it actually worse than it was supposed to be. This game isn't actaully the wors, but I feel feel a few of my most needed IQ points go bye-bye.
