From the review: "What's also evident is the fact that Mercs 2 is a last generation game, ported up. The draw distance for objects and cars is laughably close, and the problem intensifies during co-op play. Textures are pixilated and muddy looking, and the presentation as a whole from the terrible voice acting to wonky physics system, isn't exactly top-notch. This is by no means an impressive game to watch somebody else play. On top of all that, the game has a terrible first impression. The very first few hours of the game (the ones that did not consist of bringing down the sun's fury onto this earth) I hated the game, and I imagine many other people had similar feelings.
The plus side of these faults is that they never hinder your fun with the game. There aren't any crash bugs or glitches that force you to restart missions from the beginning again, the game is very forgiving and is just plain fun. Although most games would be crucified for getting so many simple things wrong, what World in Flames does right, it does well. The arcade style shooting mixed in with the Hollywood blockbuster epicness delivers one of the more satisfying action games in recent years. If you're a skeptic you should at least give Mercenaries 2 a shot. There's plenty of content in here to implant a smile on your face and keep it there for a long time."
Bad ports don't necessarily mean bad games, but they're inexcusable nonetheless. From the lazy to the straight-up weird, poor ports can cost companies a Bad ports don't necessarily mean bad games, but they're inexcusable nonetheless.

There are oh, so many sequels in video games these days. We've got eight games that we wish would get a follow up.
I cant agree with a lot of games on this list. Far, far more deserving entries - which I wont go into now. All I will say is Blast Corps U...I can dream, cant I?
The Darkness games are among my favorite games of last gen. Both were very unique in their own ways. I'd love to see a third iteration though I doubt it'll happen.
Folklore 2 would be nice as well.
Folklore was great! Great mechanics and atmosphere. Shame it never got too much notice
Yeah. If I hadn't played the demo I would've probably missed out on it as well.
Well apart from Jak and Daxter the rest are total crap and I for 1 are glad there was no more of that crap, now if you want to talk about Heavenly sword and Medievil now thats 2 that should have another go at this gen
All publicity is good, right? Well, not always. Here's a look at a few of the best (and worst) publicity stunts for games.
