Except that Halo Wars wasn't a universal flop -- Halo Wars has an AA ranking on Gamerankings and Metacritic. Gamespot really dropped the ball with the review.I think you pretty much nailed it right on the head for the most part. :P Maybe switch Too Human with Halo Wars, since its, you know, Halo.

...Just like TP.
Too Human's hype also wasn't very high near its release. I don't know if Halo Wars was the biggest, but it was bigger.
Out of that mix? Sure. But that's not something to be entirely proud of.Us sheep have the best flop. :D We win.

True to an extent. Zelda has AAA on GR, Gamespot gave it AA -- barely missing AAA by a few tenths.
Halo Wars has AA on GR, Gamespot gave it B. That's quite the difference. ;)
Out of those three none failed quite as hard as Lair, that was horrible I was really looking forward to that game.AgentA-Mi6But it wasn't hyped as Game of the Year like Spore. :P

Yes, and that would bea reason to name it the biggest 360 SW flop. After all, it's not like it matters how good the actual game is. :P

But yea, HW did get a lot of mixed reviews, I think IGN gave it like an 8.4, but dont quote me on that.I think you pretty much nailed it right on the head for the most part. :P Maybe switch Too Human with Halo Wars, since its, you know, Halo.

Cows hype everything GOTY. :P It somehow ended up with an "official" (lol) AA hype.
Spore was bigger, and I say this as someone who had a lot of fun on the day the 4.5 dropped. :D
The reaction to Twilight Princess was definitely the biggest (even though it was closest to hype). Nobody sent death threats to the Lair reviewer.
I find it really strange that even though Spore was arguably hyped the most, it was also the one that was talked about the least. Lair was the talk of System Wars for like half a month, Spore got like three threads which weren't even big thread. I thought people would be all over it.
TP was a flop? If you say as "it didn't get a 9.0" then yeah. Otherwise I think Conduit deserves that more.
I'm going with.. Too Human. A game that was originally a PS1 game but dragged till now.. Wow.:P
Dont Blame the people, Blame the console and Ps3 devs, its their fault , they release GOTY material every year :DCows hype everything GOTY. :P It somehow ended up with an "official" (lol) AA hype.

Agreed, especially with Twilight Princess. I mean c'mon, Nintendo. This Zelda is not as good as past ones. No wonder to some people, Star Fox Adventures was preferred.That list is perfect, and Twilight Princess really did deserve AA after I played it, I don't understand why it's AAA on metacritic and gamerankings.

I loved Star Fox Adventures but to me, TP was a great game but the delaying killed it the most. It should've came out in 05 for the GC and left there as it is.
Twilight Princess didn't flop at all. It got high ratings. It was merely overhyped.
Lair on the other hand...
I'm sure it's been said a million times... but lair is probably ps3's biggest flop because it aimed to take advantage of the sixaxis motion sensing capabilities which make the game UNPLAYABLE. In this one small example copying the wiimote blew up in sony's face.
I know there is a patch now that makes everything all better but looking at how everything went when Lair came out... it was a disaster.
How can it be overhyped without flopping?[QUOTE="Liquid_DC"]wheres halo wars..... its supposed to be an aaa serious but FLOPED BAD More like AA.Twilight Princess didn't flop at all. It got high ratings. It was merely overhyped.

Yes, and that would bea reason to name it the biggest 360 SW flop. After all, it's not like it matters how good the actual game is. :PWhy's that? Because of the hype and score difference? Blue Dragon was hyped as AA/AAA and it even scored lower than Halo Wars. But even then, I still think Too Human takes the cake for the biggest Xbox 360 flop.Tsug_Ze_Wind
Fair list. I agree with all of those. The Zelda TP brought many lulz...and suicides:P Methinks the biggest flop overall is either Spore or Too Human. Only because both were hyped for a VERY long time. killerfistI don't know, Lair was just epic because as far as I remember, no one saw a score that low coming.

Forgot about Blue Dragon. That would be my pick.
Twilight princess was the most dissapointing, simply cause i wasnt really that hyped up for the other games. I liked the gamecube version of twilight princess better though, the controls actually made the game more fun, made the battling feel alot less sloppy, instead of just waggling

Eh. Don't remember too much hype for it. Maybe because I'm not a JRPG fan.Such perfect picks, its a toss up between TP and Spore. TP because of the name and hype, Spore because of the TREMENDOUS hype. It was being hailed as the GOTG, GOTD, much less GOTY. It would revolutionize gaming and whatnot and bam 8.0.
TP was huge though, man I bet there were parades in sheepville when Jeff G. got fired a year later. I admit I was shocked too but I can see where he got it from. Despite me liking it very much.
Too close to call.
Too human's hype wasn't as big and for all intents and purposes its a new IP. Same goes for Lair but it had hype and for whats its worth was really pretty but it was just so frustrating to play. I couldn't stand playing the 4 or so missions I did play of it. But again new IP on a "new, no games system" more hype was on it then it should've had.
