Crackdown 2. It had to take some serious work to fuck up Crackdown, but god damn them, they did it. ALL the charm, interesting bosses and gangs of the original....replaced with one boring gang, NO bosses, and a lot of boring to kill zombies. Fuck you very much.....

Dead or Alive Xtreme 2.

Don't ever stumble into a GameStop when you're half awake after PAX. Just don't. You'll wake up with all these strange games in your apartment.

Dragon Age Origins. Great game, but I've only played 10 hours, and I paid full price. If I had bought it on sale, it would have been better, but that hurt my wallet!

Black Ops, enough said
Not really. Why? A lot of you are writing that. Some reviewers thought the graphics blew.

What is everyone talking about?

My kids won't stop playing online multi-player. I think the visuals are among the best I've seen on the 360.

Did you like the other COD games? Modern Warfare 1 and 2? World at War? Zombies?

Everyone just getting sick of this format regardless of whether it was great or not?

On topic: I'll stick with Gen 7. I'll go with Grand Theft Auto 4. Perfect 10s out there. I was all Jazzed because I got it new for $30 while it was still $50ish in most places. I made the mistake of playing the far superior Saints Row first. By comparison, GTA 4 was ugly, dull, slow paced... I've barely touched it.

Thanks to all the review sites and discussion boards though, this is the best generation I've experienced so far, at least in terms of not being disappointed in games. But GTA 4 had all the raves, I didn't have any advance warning.

There was a Gamecube game, Spyro: Enter the dragonfly.
I was very young and enjoyed the Spyro the Dragon Series.
It was the first game I ever regretted purchasing.
I liked the game, personally, but compared to the originals, it doesn't even hold a candle. I need to get the original Spyro games..

I had gotten the new one for the wii for Christmas, and the only thing I remotely liked about that game was the ability to fly, and the scenery looked nice. I'm sick and tired of waggling my wii remote about to attack. A simple button press couldn't suffice? It'd make me shake the remote so often against enemies, then it would make me shake it again a ton of times to open some door.

NOT FUN. But it wasn't my money wasted on it, that's the only positive.

Hands down, "Mario Is Missing" for the Super Nintendo, I was maybe seven when I got the game and had no idea what to do and it has to be one of the worse games I've ever played, that being said, I haven't played that game since so it might be fun but eh

Easily Mario Hoops 3 on 3.

I don't know what I was thinking, I don't really even like basketball all that much.

Halo:ODST, a map-pack that I never played much online with. Firefight didn't have matchmaking. The campaign was incredibly short. It was amazing to me but it was so cheesy and short I can never take Halo serious ever again. Wasn't worth $60 at the time.

and would it be considered a bad thing to say from what I've seen so far I've enjoyed 9-10 games listed on this thread?
I'm with you. Bioshock!?!?! And he payed $5 for it? Trolling? I've asked someone else on this board why all the Black Ops hate. Are people just sick of the format?

Even if they are sick of it, was that really the most disappointing game for them?

A pay to play MMO called Shadowbane. I was 8 and it didn't make it all that clear it was a pay to play, or online. It just looked like a normal RPG. How angry I was. Couldn't even return it. >_<

Here we go again...

Drakenguard of course.

Look at the box: It's got a controllable dragon, and huge battles with tons of dudes for you to kill. And it's only 7$ used. How bad could this be?

The pain... the horror...
Is it that bad? I was looking into getting it.

Mine was probably Nintendogs. Shoulda known by how much I played with my real dog how I would like that game, but I got suckered into it anyway.

Hm...probably that Lord of the Rings: Conquest thing or whatever it was. Seriously that thing was awful. Hell, I derived more enjoyment from MySims for the DS... ;-)

Halo Wars - it was some fun but but after a sitting or two I had already seen everything it had to offer - should have been a rental.

Funnily enough I so don't regret getting that game.
It was limited, crudely made, repetative. However my friend and I joked about it the whole way through as we played, and one particular spear weapon created a catchphrase.
"POKE WITH STICK!"
"POKE WITH STICK!"
"POKE WITH STICK!"

It just matched the animation so well. I don't regret a thing.
