Digital Battle writes: "Lots of FPS titles tout "strategy elements" in order to differentiate themselves from the myriad of other similar games. Raven Squad is one of those titles, however, the promise of "strategy" is quickly overshadowed by just how bad this game is. Granted, it has some strategic elements in form of a top-down view, the rest however, is so bad, it's embarrassing. There are plenty of bad games out there, some even laughable. But it takes a very special kind of developers to create something that feels embarrassing to play. Remember when you watched idol and all those folks making fools out of themselves, remember when you were embarrassed on their behalf? That's how you're gonna feel the majority of the time playing Raven Squad. It's so bad it's practically begging Uwe Boll to turn it into a movie."
MMGN: The Xbox 360 doesn’t have an unblemished record. There have been some shocking games released on 360, as there are on any platform, and many of them were before Kinect launched.
As we did with the PlayStation 3 earlier this year, let’s take a look at six of the worst exclusives released on Xbox 360.
how perfect dark zero has an 81 metascore is beyond me. it just shows how lenient critics are towards xbox games. They all jumped on haze, when really the only problem was that it was "bland" and "mediocre." Perfect dark zero is a broken, primitive, ugly mess.
The Xbox has 6 exclusives?
I kid, I kid. Don't flame me lol.
But I I thought perfect dark zero was a good one since some of my friends said they enjoyed it. But since I don't own the console I can't say for my self. A couple of these games I haven't even heard of tbh.
I bought Two Human for about £1.75 used... About 7 months after release
For the price I paid it was "okay" but if I had bought it brand new, I'd be pretty miffed.
The rest look like junk and glad I've not played them.
I quite liked Too Human and perfect Dark Zero, maybe I just have lower standards? Havent played the rest though.
The team from This Is My Joystick look at their guilty gaming pleasures.
Deus Ex: Invisible War,LEGO Games,Lips, Boogie Bunnies and Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance are a few that get a mention.
"The Xbox 360 has become one of the most influential consoles in recent history and there’s no way anyone can deny the system has some great exclusives. In an era of gaming where exclusives have become very rare, the Xbox 360 has a stable of solid hits that no one else can claim. Not every Xbox 360 exclusive that has come out has received critical acclaim. In fact, we’ve compiled a list of the worst Xbox 360 games to release. While, exclusives tend to be a reflection of the hardware they release on, we can forgive the 360 for these horrible releases. Here’s our list of the worst Xbox 360 exclusives to hit store shelves."
Oh no. Having one of their beloved spartans in the image is enough to give the diehard Halo fans a heart attack. But I agree!
The list is spot on but I would like to add a few more:
Fable 3
Crackdown 2
Ninety Nine Nights 1 & 2
Velvet Assassin
Ninja Blade
Perfect Dark Zero
Race Pro
Stoked
Deca Sports
I could name many more, but I digress.
I was like why a Halo game if its sold so well and its the face of the xbox brand. Then I read it was ODST good game but should of been a DLC at most, not a whole retail game.
Against the grain, it seems .. but I *adored* ODST.
The game felt so deliciously lonely. The atmosphere was fantastic, a score that was wonderfully different from most modern day games within it's bleak noir, the storytelling was wonderful.
I'll take something along those lines ahead of any number of popular grey, cheesy shoot em ups.
