Midway will release an exciting single-player teaser demo on Wednesday, May 30, providing a glimpse of the game's cinematic and frenetic gameplay in advance of Hour of Victory's march to retail stores in June.
The Hour of Victory demo will give the player a sneak peak into the rugged North African level. Players will be able to pick any of the three characters in the game, the Covert Operative, specializing in stealth and sabotage; a British Commando specializing in the guns-blazing frontal assault; or an Army Ranger who specializes in sniping and demolitions."
NowGamer: There's some superb games available exclusively on 360, but for every classic, there's a duffer...
Two Worlds wasn't that bad! If anything Too Human was the worst or ODST or Halo in general :P.
whaaaaaa odst is only 4 hours long!!
i was thinking of getting it on ebay dang well might as well go with my second choice (dragon quest 9)
Why why why do we love to fall for these bull crap type "top ten games my ass likes or not likes or whatever just click on my site" 'articles'
It's like flies to crap. I saw this and then 10mins later it was over 300degrees lol why do we do this to ourselves? lol
There's no other way to explain these opinions. Halo ODST. Short, maybe, but "worst of"? Come on! Too Human and Two Worlds worst crimes were being merely average. His worst of PS3 list is just as head shaking.
Don't give this site your hits. There's no thought put in here at all.
ODST was short and it's only multiplayer addition lacked matchmaking but I'm still not sure that it deserves to be titled the 5th worst 360 game.
Two worlds is the Lair of the 360. Both pretty cool games that got trashed for really nothing.
Lair's motion controls were fine, people mistook strait up and down with pivoting along their elbows. I know I did at first, but the moment I realized it(2 hours in, I can see why others had trouble, needed a better control tutorial) I never made that mistake again.
I have to think a lot of reviewers got a beta copy or something of two worlds, because when I got it, it was not nearly as buggy as they accused it of being. I also did not follow any pre-release hype, so I don't think I got the let down feeling that many people got.
Seems like Nowgamer is just looking for easy hits. ODST being one of the worst you gotta be kidding me. There are far worst games out there ODST is a great game. But this is what I have to expect from Nowgamer this website shouldn't be taken seriously. They also listed Mag as one of the worst PS3 games yeah definitely should not be taken seriously.
Two Worlds was alright and Too Human wasn't overly bad just not what I expected.
I think the list could have been made better, rather than just name drop to get hits. (Same could be said about the similar ps3 list)
Yeah, although I did find myself a little addicted to Two Worlds, that game was a technical mess. I bet there is a crappier title than ODST out there, I doubt they really did their research and just grabbed the first 5 out of the ones they have played or are familiar with.
I really enjoyed Halo ODST. Apparently, so did nearly 6 million other gamers...ARTICLE FAIL...I thought the story was great with all the flashbacks and taped additions. The sub machine gun and pistol made for a AWESOME combination, I hope Reach has them. Driving around the burnt out city with a mongoose was great fun, once I found it. The soundtrack was as haunting and beautiful as any in gaming...ADD Firefight, which was an entire new Multi-player horde mode...ALL the Multi-player maps +4 with all the features that make Halo legendary and you had one of the best packages around. ODST sold more than UC 1 and 2 COMBINED...Nowgamer, what do you expect.
Too Human ran into Unreal problems, A likely excuse to continue to milk M$. They had to port all there game data to another engine. Pretty dumb on their part. I think those lawsuits are still pending. That was suppose to be a trilogy...lol...I don't think M$ wants anything to do with them...
Many people buy it, equals good game?
So if one million people buy Leisure Suit Larry, is it good?
Shadow Of Colossus did not sell very well, so did Ico, still games that are million times better than a game that sold a lot more than these two tiles.
Dude, start playing games and not sales.
Well if ODST is in the bottom 5 then the 360 worse exclusives aint bad at all, odst was fun but short and 80% plus on the metacritic gives a bit of a clue that it wasnt that bad
20 disagrees from people who haven't played the game. This site is an odd one. You know you're intelligent if you get Disagrees and you know you're a PS3 fanboy if you get Agrees.
I don't really like ODST or Too Human, but there are other titles that can take the place of those!
that game was eventually ported to the PS3... Hour of Victory was a real stinker, but there are others that could should be here
I hope crappy games like that wont start flooding the 360/PS3 because of motion control. Wii has so much shovel ware it's insane.
now im waiting for the top 5 worst ps3 games article to come up. u all know its around the corner :P
Actually, we already posted that one. The article was always going to be a two-parter. We separated them because it's just meant to be a bit of light-hearted fun, not flamebait; hence only posted in relevant section.
where the hell is Bomberman Act 0 then if you'r not trying to cause a ruckus... and both the Zoid games... god the list of games that were trash compared to everything (except HoV) is crazy long
but was surprised about HALO: ODST. I have friends that loved that game and played it's "horde" mode.
Firefight is awesome, but unfortunately there is no matchmaking so if you don't have friends online you are SOL. It's a decent title though, I seriously doubt it's the 5th worst 360 exclusive. And now that I'm thinking about it, wasn't Two Worlds also a PC game?
Perhaps PDZ. It's the worst 360 exclusive that I own anyway.
Had more enjoyment from ODST's firefight alone than all of PDZ, and even PDZ didn't do bad critically.
... but then again, even the HALO Community at Bungie.net is split down the middle as to whether ODST was good. I think that had MS sold ODST at $40, it would've done WAY better critically, and would've sold ALOT more. But hey, that's MSFT for you. Money grubbers.
IMHO though, I loved ODST, it was a great experience, and a fresh perspective on the Halo universe.
Even though I HATE Halo, Halo ODST wasn't that bad. There's plenty of actual shitty games that could fill the #5 spot.
This week's "What They've Been Playing" features discussion of Splosion Man, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, Madden 10, Battlefield 1943, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As a Darklord, Nascar 09, Hour of Victory, and much more. They follow that up with some gaming news including the announcement of Sam Raimi as director of the World of Warcraft movie and the record-breaking sales of Battlefield 1943.
The Xbox 360 has been out for more than two years now, and while there have been a lot of great games released in that time, the 360 has seen its fair share of bad games as well. There isn't quite anything as epically terrible as Drake of the 99 Dragons or Aquaman like we saw on the original Xbox, where Xbox fans are proud to have them in their collection like a badge of honor, but there are plenty of stinkers that could reach those heights of fame and misfortune. Check out our full list of the Ten Worst Xbox 360 Games right here.
In all fairness, Sonic the Hedgehog was garbage across all platforms. With that said, I am actually looking forward to the DS sonic game because it is been developed by Bioware.
i doubt it is as bad as hour of victory. I got it from a friend and it was terrible. Worst use of Unreal engine yet. The faces look like they were made with mud
Not a good game at all.
Actually this whole list I agree with. The biggest disappointments being Blacksite Area51 and Two Worlds because I had high hopes for both of those games so they stung extra hard when I found they were not very good.
They got the list of worst 360 games just about right with many top PS3 games in it.
I played about 15 minutes of lair at a friends. Thats about 10 more minutes than i played Gundam. I really dont even know why i played Gundam im no fan of the show or whatever it is.
Trust me that game belongs in the garbage, not a console.
I actually like Dynasty Warriors Gundam. Now Gundam Crossfire. That is a real, sh!tty game.
Make sure you don't take away the horrible glory of Area 51 away from PS3!! Let's people rag on something other than Lair (I liked Lair actually, just like if you hear horrible things about a movie, its hard to live up to the awfulness)
I never played the first one. I am sure Blacksite would have faired better if it hadn't come out at the end of the year during the golden months of last year.
My expectations were probably a little too high because I enjoyed the first one a lot, but they should of delayed it for a few months. It would probably made the game a whole lot better.
to 5.1 its not saying that the 360 is bad its just a look at the worst games that developers have made. just funny to talk about some of the games people made and there problems . dont go and stick up for 360 when no one is attacking it and just have a laught
Actually wasn't sticking up or putting down either. I only have a PS3, so I know it was a rough game for me on that. Plus I was just bored and felt like commenting. Wasn't one of my "deep thought provoking" posts. :)
thank u xbox live
This is great news and I can't wait! I'm playing the dirt demo and must say that I like it a lot compared to prior games in this series! The game is like rallisport on steroids with some great lighting and physics!
yay i will be testing this out next week then =)
OK, seems like the DEMO season is starting now, sweet! Keep em coming!
please bring it to the 360, it looks like cod on crack please bringt it
