OXCGN's Worst Games We've Played This Year – You Stinker

58
OXCGN:

"You might be surprised by the games we'd call stinkers.

With AAA game season just around the corner (you know that special overcrowded time when the big games usually compete to get your attention and almighty cash), we thought we'd look back on the year so far and pick out some games from all platforms which wasted our time and money.

Sure, there may be more stinkers to come, but they usually don't dare to face off against the big end of year hitters."

A few from previous years there, but I'd agree with a lot of them...

Some I'm a bit surprised at, like Wolfenstein on PC and Ghostbusters (but I've not played it since it isn't released here in Oz on 360 yet!)

1.1 - Yeah...
The controls in Ghostbusters are a bit more of a challenge than they should be, but I'm enjoying Wolfenstein on PC at the moment happily enough. Kind of got put on hold when I started Batman though. =P

@IcyJoker,

I'm sure there were some bad PS3 games (many of the listed ones are multi plat.) they just didn't play them.

I for one was one of the few who thought though good Killzone 2 was way over-rated. It wouldn't be on my list of crap games this year, but it would be my most disappointing for sure.

I do play mostly on my 360, but usually love the exclusives on PS3: can't wait for Uncharted 2!!!

Terminator Salvation for me. I was really hyped for it but in the end I played soulless shooter with airsoft guns shooting to plastic terminators... At least it gave me a feeling like this...

Hey joker, wanna take a guess why no PS3 games were listed? The article is on a 360 fan site.
Man, some people get their "jollies" from the silliest observations.
No PS3 games were bashed in Motor Trends new cars for 2010 reviews either!

I liked Ghostbusters personally, but it was a little short.
I would have put Resident Evil V on the list.

There are PS3 games in there, Terminator Salvation was also on the PS3, obviously the person listing it played the 360 version and listed that.

Think people, it's not as hard as you may have heard.

2 - Totally agree with a lot of the games
Got to say though I did recently try Two Worlds on PC - not a bad game at all to me, just difficult for it to compete with Oblivion.

A game I played this year that I know I should have liked but didn't was Metroid Prime 3. I recently got a Wii in addition to my 360 and PS3, and seeing great reviews of Metroid Prime 3 and lots of positive comments I tried it out.

I guess it's just not a fit for me. I failed to see what the fuss was about, kind of seemed a bit boring and pedestrian, despite liking other similar exploration FPS like Bioshock and Deus Ex 2. =S

Betheo made me lol, I thought by this point, everyone knew 'Acid was a turn based card game and didn't have gameplay like the 'Solid series, even I don't know much about Metal Gear and I'm not really a huge fan, but I know that.

"I will admit it was my first MGS game, and the style it was done in just confused the hell out of me. The graphics were nice enough, but I prefer to be able to move the character myself, not have to take turns with annoying cards."

LMAO

Two words; Portable Ops

I just find it personally funny. Brings a whole new meaning to 'look at the back of the box'.

I never understood card based games myself. Yeah reading the back is a good idea, but who would have thought MGS video game would be a card game?

4 - "I guess what they say is true, once you go for a PSP that is black, you dont go back. "
Aside from that crappy joke, the article was cool. I haven't played any of the games on the lists except for World at War, and I agree that WaW has a major problem. It is a blatantly linear game. Every FPS is linear in some form, but often times the devs try to make it seem less linear by allowing the environment to be traversed in multiple ways, but when I played the first few levels of World at War, I was frustrated by the fact that I had to walk in a preset path in the jungles and could clearly see that buildings or bungaloes that I wasn't allowed to explore were very un-detailed and blocky. I really didn't like that about WaW. Halo 3 is like that as well, and it annoys me but not as much for some reason.

5.1 - It's not about naming the worst game of the year
Just games the writers really didn't enjoy so far this year before the AAA-game season starts.

I really liked the article - instead the constant stream of '360/PS3 console exclusive game Y = bestest game / graphics evererrr', I kind of enjoy reading about what makes bad games are terrible as they are or why someone really disliked a game many other people love.

Heck, I go on IGN and Gamespot and like to read reviews of the LOWEST scoring games. It's always interesting to see if their failure was a result of bad design, rushed production (see almost all licensed games) or just plain broken.

6 - Wouldn't it be nice if...
people kept to listing games they hated this year THAT THEY PLAYED, instead of saying games on PS3 or 360 suck?

The article has Wii, DS, PSP, PC games in the list too...

You will have the same 10 ps3 fanboys with 10 accounts each disagree with you for saying something like that. Unless of course, their mommy makes them do chores or something rather than post crap on the internet.

Oh god, Jericho! I had it on 360, played it for about three mins and then demanded my money back when I brought it back to the store! A horrible, horrible game!

"how could such a terrible game could actually be passed and given certification?"
That's what happen when i'm playing Sacred 2. I really like that game, but there are so much bugs and issues i wonder how could alpha testers not manage to find or fix that.

I'm still playing it but there are too much problems to love it.

Ihad similar dismay beacuse of that cheap shot. There are 30 good DS titles for every 1 good psp titles. People who say things like that guy did just feel bad because he is going to have to buy all 13 of the good psp titles all over again when the GO comes out and needs a puppy to kick.

14 - Serious Question
Do you guys think that a large portion of the american public is stupid and they are able to be tricked into doing things or coerced into making decisions against their otherwise better judgement? I swear that this is why people play Halo and COD. This question doesn't really have to do with these games but really all phenomena like this. Mediocre products being adopted by the masse. Spice girls anyone, Brittany Spears, Paris Hilton, F*ckin Twitter, The Hills and every literally moronic reality tv show ever! How the hell does stuff like this get so damn popular? The answer has to be that there is a large population of simple minded people out there that are just easily amused by the dumbest things and thats what they gravitate to.

i absolutely agree, which is why i haven't watched tv since i was 17...i am now 23, there is also only one radiostation i listen too as it's a community radio station, and they promote any music that's good, local acts, not the music that the rich music companies pay the stations to play ( the acts you mentioned above). People play what they are told to play, they listen to what they're told to listen too.

Never buy any games based on IGN reviews etc...they get paid to give them good scores.
