Assassin's Creed. All that hype, I expected a fun game, instead, I got bored to death. Just my opinion.

Recently, it was Gothic III. I loved fighting humans/orcs and liberating towns...but I COULDN'T STAND the fact that wolves (as an example, other animals and monsters were just as bad) were still a pain in the ass even after leveling up. They could just keep attacking and you had to hope that they would stop so your fricking "being damaged" animation would stop and you could fight back.

Enter the matrix, it looked really good but turns out it sucked:evil:

well the game started off fun but it got progressively worse and worse until it got downright terrible at the part where you run from all of the Agent Smiths.

Sony owned the Alundra name, Climax Entertainment made the game. They didn't wanted to make another, Sony went and made it for themselves.

Oh sorry :P

I know the history, I just couldn't figure out how a dev team could completely miss the point of the original greatness.

Ikaruga is the most disappointing game I've bought, followed by Gradius V and Shining Force Neo.

Most recently: Assassin's Creed.

I don't think I ever bought a game that I didn't enjoy. I always do my research. But instead of games I think more people are disappointed on the console they ever bought, the PS3.

Probably Unreal II: The Awakening on Xbox.

It had the Unreal logo on it, so I assumed it would be great. Me and my brother beat the game in a night and it wasn't even that enjoyable.

The Darkness. I was expecting a lot more from Starbreeze in terms of graphical prowess and I had dim hopes they would improve in terms of gameplay.

Really? I can see why people dislike it, but I'd personaly consider it to be the best Zelda game.

Anyway, either Oblivion or Turok Evolution are my most disappointing purchases, but I think that Oblivion was slightly more disappointing since it had better reviews.

Genji- I couldn't stand the clunky big guy,with the tree trunk weapon.

WarioWare- Over in 3 hours- whoever gave this game a AAA should be fired..plain and simple.

IGN gave Gunvalkyrie a 9.0

:( Not good times. I honestly don't even know what the hell was going on in that game, but it was awul

Other nominees include

Brute Force

Azurik

Blinx (E3 GotY my a**)

Notice a trend here (yes, I was an early Xbox 1 owner)
