Backlog Quest is a month long special event on Clearance Bin Review featuring daily game reviews of the games that have sat on the shelf for simply too long; old and new.
From Day 17 – Darkest of Days, Tristan Rendo writes, "I’d be a bold face liar if I said I hadn’t ever though about time traveling back to the days of ancient Rome with an assault rifle. Where my advanced weaponry would make me king. Darkest of Days finally let me live out this brief, sociopathic fantasy if but for a fleeting moment; and that is all that counts right?
Well, not really, but it is still kind of cool."
When gamers think about first person shooter games, there’s a slew of titles that instantly come to mind. These games place the player in the action and they become immersed in the game with heart-pounding gameplay dynamics. Sure, there’s a ton of great first person shooter games out there, but there’s a lot of companies that have tried to cash in on first person shooters. In other words, for every good first person shooter game out there, there’s a bad first person shooter game. On this list, are the worst of the worst when it comes to first person shooters.
Game Revolution writes: "If you're looking for a game that has you shooting Civil War survivors, WWI veterans, Roman infantry, and while we're at it, some Native Americans (which is half of my heritage... I shot my peoples!), then boy, do I have a game for you. Darkest of Days puts you in the shoes of a Civil War soldier that fought in the battle of Little Bighorn or Custard's Last Stand. At the last minute before your unfailing doom, you are rescued by a Spartan that pulls you into a womb-like object that sends you hurling through time and space. You reach your final destination in a waiting room from hell to be greeted by the stroke patient that is your supposed time partner and a visual user interface with creepy eyes and a fake pompous-ass British accent."

"Every system has its exclusives, Xbox has Halo 3, Gears Of War Series and Mass Effect Trilogy. What about the flops? What about the games that nobody remembers, or people can only wish to forget about. That is why this list..exists."
Disclaimer underneath Top 10: Beyond our control, we could only limit our list to 10 games. Any more and the internet would meltdown.
Too Human is the one of the greatest games of all time, and it's only exclusive to the Xbox 360!
Looks like the ps3 boys are looking for stuff the deflect the WKC and MAG debarcle, how cute
As for the list, Lost odyssey is one of the best JRPG's out to date and nuts and bolts scored in the mid 80's, hardly flops really
As for two human, its not a bad game one bit, it just took so damn long to make it was never going to live up to the hype
Oh this list blows...
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts was awesome and memorable for actual fans of the series. Sales were lackluster because people enjoy crap like Modern Warfare and Rockband.
Lost Odyssey was also a great game but this quote is just STUPID, "if not THE first game to have 4 discs! It’s what turned many people off to the game." now really? People didn't play the game because it had 4 discs? I actually wanted to play the game even more because I knew it would be long and cinematic. What a retarded reason not to play a game, I'm sure that's why Final Fantasy 7 flopped too right?
Too Human was solid, it doesn't deserve the crap it gets just because it was being developed for so long. It's a solid rental, my only complaint that I can remember was it's length.
