Dubious Honours
Lets face it, there are no perfect video games. Heck all games aren't perfect. Some lack issues that the developers
didn't learn review scores to agonizing frame rates. There are a selection of worst game that came out this year
and once an anticipated game went into shambles. We should just put a spotlight to the dubious honours and make
the developers feel ashamed for themselves. Why because they entirely deserve for what the crap they did to making
crappy multiplatformers to making just god awful games. But not all games in this categories are bad, there are some
like Disappointing Delay and Best Game No One played. These games have a distinct taste of sour and awful taste in
them even if you throw them into the garbage can. Only 4 hand-picked games are in each category, I intend to revive
some old Gamespot categories in this section.
Worst Acting
Through the past decade, many celebrity voice actors were in part of the game for interest. In some cases, a elabarate
casting, and excellent writing. While some developers get AAA celebrity actors in their game but they can't seemed to
fit in the game, either from the lacking of miscast or doesn't a recognized voice portrayed in the game character.While
some others cast some unknown actors but they are still terrible at portraying their role. From
time to time, many seasoned actors voice their work in the game but just can't get the rhythm of getting either a good
script or getting a low budget for the game. Theres are often good games out there but bad voice acting, and a bad voice
from a bad game, it all comes down to a opportunity. For we can realize and shown a spotlight for worst acting in games.
Naruto: Rise of the Ninja
Two Worlds
CSI:3 Dimensions of Murder
Victorious Boxers: Revolution
Disappointing Delay
The line-up this season is through the roof. Some are so anticipated they are consider AA titles. While many games came
out, some were reported that they are coming out this season, but with no evidence. They're not! Not all games are going
to come out this year probably because the developers need some twinking to fixing some problems in their game. Its hard
to think that some of the other games that we're missing out on for the moment. This year's nominees for the Disappointing Delay aren't necessarily on the list because we were surprised by their delays, nor even because we expected for one minute that
we'd actually be playing these games in 2007. We really, really wanted to play them, though, and at some point, somebody,
somewhere told us we'd be able to do so. Heres the list for Dispointing Delay
Grand Theft Auto IV
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns and Patriots
Super Smash Bros: Brawl
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
Agonizing Frame Rate/ Crappy Slideshow
With all the beautiful graphics polish and texture quality can't save a game with a broken frame rate. Bad
frame rates occured playing a game with the interface lacking quality. You can think that this day and age
that developers knew how do control bad frame rate issues. Wrong! Choppy framerates are still a menace to
society. Sooner or later with high powered consoles like the Playstation 3, the power can't withstand and
will cause framerates to occur. Sometimes its the developers fault and sometimes its the console's tremousous
power that cause it. There are a equivalent amount of games that have framerate issues and heres my nonimiees.
The Orange Box (PS3)
Socom: US Navy SEALS Tactical Strike
Thrillville: Off the Rails
Tomb Raider: Anniversary (PSP)
Disappointing Game
It's very easy to get hype all over an anticipated game, especially in 2007, when some trailers of their games
looks promising. Unfortunely when the game comes out, it turns out to be a complete disaster and will regret
buying it or hyping up for it. The result: a not-so-auspicious award given to the worst offender of all the games
for which we had high hopes that were dashed to pieces. All we need to know is to not get so hyped up on anticipated
titles and just proceed in caution so that ifs the game is good or bad, we buy it. We should show a spotlight and
make the developers feel ashamed of themselves are putting a disappointing game of 2007.
Soulcalibur Legends
Kane and Lynch: Dead Men
Lair
Stranglehold
Flat-out Worst Game
Constants are few and far between in this constantly evolving world of ours, but if there's one thing you can count on each and
every year, it's a crop of really, really terrible games. Developers miss the mark all the time, but year in and year out, it
seems that a special few somehow manage to transcend the boundaries of mediocrity and create something so utterly terrible that even an utterance of said game's name sends shivers down the spines of gamers everywhere. Without fail, 2007 has delivered another onslaught of lousy games. These are the games you shouldn't, nay, mustn't play, for they are truly the cream of the crap crop.
Hour of Victory
You are Empty
Godzilla Unleashed
Dawn of Magic
Soulcalibur Legends
Disappointing Sequel
Many games achieved to be a huge success when they released a game. When the developer released an expansion pack or a sequel to the game, it can be either a success or a failure. 2007, has many games that came into a success, many hit titles like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare shocked us with its graphical design and setting. This category awards the most disappointing sequel that feel that the developers screwed up badly. Some games are revisit from the past and made into a sequel and its a utter failure. Heres the selection of nonimees of 2007 for Disappointing Sequel.
Empire Earth III
Swashbucklers: Blue vs. Grey
Soulcalibur Legends
Soldier of Fortune: Payback
