Blacks gameplay was great, just a shame that is was so FREAKING HARD!

For me it was Nintendogs, aww look at the cute little doggies they look great for a DS "game". Note the inverted commas, thats why it sucks, it's got no gameplay. What brush the dog then take it for a walk, throw its bone, get bored, switch off DS, burn game.

Bioshock had a great visual design, but the gameplay was mediocre IMO.

Crysis. Oh and yes I own it.

no proof. not believing.

Crysis instruction book. Page 13.

"Switch the Nanosuit's energy flow to one of four modes - Speed, Strength, Armor or Cloak - to augment your capabilities and meet the changing situation in the field......."

I can play the game with half the settings on high, and half on medium.

Crysis sucks.

Yeah that game was horrible. Maybe I just think it is cause I'm a cow and my friend brought his XBOX to my house, so maybe my fanboyish mind had eclipsed my judgement. You cant even jump in that game. And I also ddin't think the graphics were that cold.

Gears of War. I would say Bioshock, but the gameplay in it was a step above many other first-person shooters. Just not as great as System Shock 2.

Ah....no. Lair doesn't look good when you play it. The pre-release screens and videos, sure, they looked great. But when you played the game, it was not impressive in any way, shape, or form. Not for me anyway. Totally deserved the score it got.

Repetition, mainly. The game essentially consisted of running behind cover, popping a few shots, running behind another piece of cover, popping a few more shots, running into the next room, lather, rinse, repeat. Even the final boss was easily defeated using this tactic. I would understand if it was implemented well, but the fact that the same button used to hide for cover was the button used to sprint ended up with me dying more than once. The shooting model was rather lame, and the weapons felt pretty weak. It just wasn't fun to shoot at anything. Those are my main reasons, and those ruined the game for me.

Ok, if you are going by the score from GameSpot, then it was because of the gameplay. They praised the graphics in their review though.

They were being nice and decided against putting themselves in harms way by giving the game a 1. STAMPEDE!!!!

I don't know why some people said Bioshock..that was one of the best games I've ever played. If I had to pick a game I'd choose Mass Effect right off the bat. I was really pumped about playing it, played it for about 6-7 hours, and just couldn't take it anymore, I was bored out of my mind.

The GRAW series isn't that great either..imo
