Throughout the history of modern gaming there have been over a thousand games that should have been - titles that already had a following and very eager audience but an audience alas that was destined to be disappointed. Here is Chris' Top 10 take.
Read our Six Days in Fallujah interview and learn how the team wanted to create realism through procedural architecture and more.
Lots of video games get canceled due to studio closures, lack of resources, and other issues, but we would have loved to play these 10 canceled games.
Not only was P.T. an awesome demo, but just the way it was dropped on us and eventually revealed as Silent Hills was one of those really special moments in gaming. I don't even want to be reminded of it now.
Konami screwed up. They could easily cut the Silent Hills ending cutscene and sell it for 5/10 bucks and I would easily buy it again. The demo was tons of fun and terrifying each time, I loved to make friends play
Plot Twist: PT was a tease, Silent Hills was fake, the Konami fallout was staged, and Death Stranding is actually Metal Gear Solid VI. 🤯 #kojimawoulddothis
That would be the long con to end them all, but I don't know if even Kojima would do all that. Then again, Metal Gear Solid 2 was a thing.
I just want a Getaway 3. I mean Sony has nailed the cinematic, open world genre for a while now. A return to the Getaway with the tech they got now would be so good
Six Days in Fallujah was a game I would have been interested to see how it would have turned out. SOCOM like tactical shooter with destructive environments. Lots of work on it and then it was just scrapped.
Now Loading: We all know the feeling, a new game just got announced, and it looks awesome! You follow all of the news, watch all of the trailers, and the hype train storms full steam ahead towards release day.
And then suddenly, boom. The game's cancelled. Months of anticipation, all for nothing. The pre-order disappears from you basket, and once again you find yourself thinking "Dammit, I really wanted to play that one", but you know you never will.
Over the years, this feeling has become all too common with gamers across the globe, as stellar-looking titles get dropped time and time again by publishers for a variety of reasons.
Here's five of the best cancelled games that we'll never get to play:
Silent Hills is the worst for me, was really excited about that game.

The Last Guardian should be on that list. I doubt it's gonna ever be released.
Well for me it's B.C. on the original Xbox. I wanted that more than FABLE. Oh Peter, how you never fail to disappoint me. Also, I am sad American McGee's OZ never came out. Such amazing concepts went into it, but never saw the light of day.
Agent. And The Last Guardian.
Possession
Highlander sounds really cool, I could see it done like AC. But what would be far better is a MMORPG. You need to keep actually being a highlander relatively rare, and you don't want to have huge fights between 100 highlanders at once. It would also be difficult to implement the 3,000 year timeline and keep the Highlanders from just crucifying the lowbees.
