Oblivion: A greenish layer covers the ground and totally messes up the grafic.
It's linked to the 'show distant land' option. If you turn it off it should fix it.

Assassins creed: just most of the game was so bad that it ruined the experience for me
What? Thats not a glitch, you're just bashing it.
Apologies, my wording was quite bad. I meant the game was full of glitches which ruined the experience for me
Can you please explain? I've been playing it for around 10 hours and havn't encountered a single glitch (well, except for that one time when the framerate went down until I restarted the game, but that only happened once and I'm not sure weather that was the console's fault or the game's fault.)
I played it in the first month it was released when the bugs were amass. Diving through hay stacks into nothing, people getting stuck on walls, the game freezing and being able to see through some walls into grey oblivion

I once fell though the fabric of space and time in Mass Effect, the lift suddenly vanished and I fell into a strange blue other dimension. Wrex and Ash however did not even seem to notice so I had to go all the way back to the siege on the fortress (Virmire after saving Wrex)

in san andreas, when you do that falling animation, and just keep going and going and going, even when you hit the ground, and it pisses me off
This reminds me of a glitch I had for San Andreas, the mission where you dirt bike onto a plane then plant explosives on it and parachute out, I screwed up and switched weapons which got rid of my parachute but when I landed,(ten minutes later) I DIDN'T DIE, I had the flashing your almost dead health bar, but most conveniently I landed beside a burger shot!!!
Edit: This was not a frustrating glich more like "OMG THIS GLICH JUST SAVED MY ASS FTW"

Not so much a glitch but my cat jumps on my desk and sits on my keyboard when i play any PC game for along time :p

So i end up petting the adorable cat for awhile to fix it.

Firelance event spawning at the Anchorage Memorial and having to swim for a FUCKING hour to find all twenty four FUCKING power cells and another ten to find the FUCKING gun because half of it fell in the FUCKING water.

Call of Duty: World at War

It was a once in a lifetime glitch, but it happened to me. WHY?!

I died when i was about to throw a grenade. when I respawned, for some reason grenades started spawning from nowhere and dropping at my feet AND blowing me up. I had to restart the game to get things under control.

You assume, silly catman, that you get to see me coming... one shadow dance begins, it's 8K ambush after 8K ambush, and you are defeated...

Halo: CE. Parked a warthog next to a Dropship. Tried to get on Dropship. Game glitched. Fell through ground somehow and died. Respawned about 5 seconds from where I was. Thanked the heavens that Halo puts checkpoints absolutely everywhere.

That wasn't the worst by any means, but I don't play glitchy games usually so that was my most recent example.

not entirely a glitch, but the fact that a SMG has the same range as a sniper rifle as soon as you got a scope for it. its fucking bullshit.

a real glitch? fell through the ground somewhere in the deadmines and ended in some place wherer everything was grey. luckely i could hearth out of there.

There's a graphics incompatibility between my PC and Halo. It's fixed now, but before it had strobing colored polygons flashing across the screen every damn time you went near a light source.

And there's a glitch in Mirror's edge where you can accidentally wedge yourself between two boxes and stay in a state of free-fall 2cm above the ground. when you move, you fall to the ground at 150km/h from 2cm up and die. With that wonderful squelching sound.

Oh, I had so much fun with that. It was hilarious watching a bunch of allies running desperately after me when I was happily appearing and disappearing behind them.

OT: Oblivion has possibly the most annoying glitch, ever; the random 'crash-to-desktop-with-no-message'. I guarantee you, Bethesda let that glitch be in there just to learn you to save often.

The Midgard Serpent bug in Tomb Raider: Underworld. Ends your game if you didn't make a manual save at the start of the level. I was so annoyed at getting this one, especially as I read about it and how not to trigger it but I managed to find out some new and exciting ways of ruining my game that hadn't been listed!
I am currently in front of the underwater fortress (after revisiting the boat), so it shouldn't be too long before I arrive at the place you mentioned. Can you tell me how I trigger/prevent the bug from happening?

And as for the topic: In the early days of Guild Wars (after 30-40 hours of gameplay) I managed to fall through the floor. My character kept on falling, I ended the game, reloaded - and he was still falling. Had to start all over again.

Fable 2, for some reason a priest is glitched in the door to the temple of light. and he's invincible. And I have to get past him. =.= I've just given up on the game basically.

Yeah but I played through it when it was first realesed so not many of the large glitches had been patched. If I played it through today then maybe I would like it more, but it really did anger me when I first played through it.

San an has so many glitches, so if you fall of the 'big pointy building' and land on a car, you don't die.

I haven't encountered many glitches in my gaming thankfully, but I had just bought House of the Dead: Overkill. It was going all well and good along the first level, but I suffered a lock up which jammed my machine. I restarted, did the level again (nothing saved) and at the boss fight, it locked up again in the middle of a scream... not the best sound in the world to hear.

I tried it a third time, but the controllers and game again locked up. I sent the game back and am awaiting a replacement to come back... The game seems fun and the concept is brilliant, but sadly I haven't gotten past the first level due to glitches.
