2016: Five forgettable games

Games Asylum: "Compiling this feature was a tad tricky as we’ve seen far fewer stinkers in 2016 than years prior. There were plenty of average games – Alekhine's Gun, Carmageddon: Max Damage, Mighty No. 9 and TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan spring to mind – but nothing truly terrible. We’re talking Ride to Hell: Retribution levels of awfulness here.

While the five games featured reviewed poorly, mostly gaining scores around the 4/10 mark, you could probably still squeeze an hour or two of play out them before tedium set in. That’s the biggest offender here – tedium. These games are either basic, boring or both, hence why we’ve opted for the title ‘Five forgettable games’ for this piece"

Wouldn't they normally just buy a company who is working on a Pokemon like a game. Then close them and make them do something else?

UltraNova2781d ago

Yeah..maybe all those Worst Company of the year awards got to them...not really. Maybe they are waiting for the P Go craze to die down and then release their clone?

nX2781d ago

Or maybe they realized that they are lacking the creative talent to come up with this kind of game. Most likely, actually.

OneLove2781d ago

There is no Pokemon competitor. Many have tried already.

NotoriousWhiz2781d ago

I probably played monster rancher more than Pokémon. Particularly the 2nd one. I wish they'd make a new one.

blackblades2781d ago

There was one called collectem that supposedly still in development for sony systems. Thing is its been in development for years and not much on it like they they taking a long break or something

detroitmademe2781d ago

I'd love a good rpg similar to Pokemon. But I'd want it to be for consoles

gamerb62781d ago

If the rumours are true then your in luck, new Pokemon game may be coming to the NX

detroitmademe2781d ago

Is it gonna be a true Pokemon game like the ones for game boy and 3ds or is it gonna be a spin off like go or that Pokemon game where you take pictures all day because the spin offs are ass

gtxgamer22781d ago (Edited 2781d ago )

If it anything like Pokemon xd or Colosseum count me in

terrorofdeath2781d ago

I guess the closest Pokemon competitor would be Ni No Kuni, I guess?

GameBoyColor2781d ago

YoKai Watch maybe? It's big in Japan at least

x_BlackRose2781d ago

Pokemon Battle Revolution was pretty awesome, but we need another game like Pokemon Colosseum, with multiple regions to explore. Hoenn, Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh. Where we can traverse all those regions defeating their respective gym leaders and Elite Fours. With all pokemon available, all wrapped up with a pretty good story. Why has Nintendo not done this yet? That has triple A all over it. Could be a potential GOTY.

TheUndertaker852781d ago

Because why do that when they can split them all like they do?

Your way: $40 game
Nintendo's way: $80 for each region then $120 for the original Blue, Red, and Yellow

I mean, you just gotta catch them all, right? Plus now they've found a way to add in meaningless accessories with the Z-Ring. $30 for the ring then $7 for a three pack of crystals to use with the ring.

Blast ‘Em Bunnies Review - The Video Games

Peter at TVG writes "Sometimes gamers just don’t know what kind of title they are in the mood for. Do they want to immerse themselves in a deep narrative experience, a grind play session to upgrade weapons and level up or just a fun distraction to pass away the time?"
