The Xbox 360 Games That Every Gamer Should Avoid at All Costs

Craig H writes: "One of our biggest gripes, actually one of the biggest complaints throughout the industry right now, is that the level of quality in games has been suffering lately. Sure there are some great titles that get the perfect amount of polish and love to ensure every drop of potential is squeezed out of the title. But there are those games that hit retail with undeservingly high price tags."

Hannah Montana is the worst game I ever played the 360

[BeaRye]

If you mean the one for the movie, that game sucked on every platform. That was the definition of licensed shovelware.

[T9X69]

Wow You actually played it?

[BeaArthur]

Good point, and is Hannah Montanta an exclusive?

[Conloles]

I played Vampire Rain I'm scarred for life.

[God_Of_Epicness]

I hate Hannah Montana. Overrated piece of shiat. Anyway, my worst 360 game has got to be Beowulf The Game. I find it interesting that whenever a game title includes the name "The Game", it usually fails.

[vgn24]

Did Hannah not return your fan letters dude? That's a lot of anger.

[knight626]

wtf where is halo or gears? IMO i think halo and gears sucked btw iam no PS3 fanboy i just didnt like halo and gears

[nygamer28]

WTF are you talking about???? i didnt like the game ether but that dosent mean those were bad games,your game library must be very very short

[SilverSlug]

Too Human?

I hated that one.

[Anarki]

Too Human wasn't bad... it was more of a 3d balders gate...

[christian hour]

I only ever played the demo for too human, that put me off it enough to not waste money on it. So I can't say for certain it belongs on this list, but going off the demo alone, it definitely is, at least for me, a 360 exclusive to avoid. The only game on this list I've played was you're in the movies. My dad picked it up at christmas and it was actually a lot of fun with all the family, and I had a lot of lighting equipment borrowed from college that holiday to film some stuff for projects, so I was able to seperate everyone pretty well form the background, so it looked as good as MS advertised it.

Mind you we've never played it again since. Its like my sisters wii, it gets brought out at xmas and thats it. So I guess if you're a hardcore gamer, you're in the movies is another exclusive to avoid. Also I think LIPS should be on this list.

[Baka-akaB]

that would be an insult to Baldur's gate , and a major one

[mcgrawgamer]

If you grew up on old school loot grinding type games Too Human wasn't that bad at all. and honestly for me if Dennis Dyack hadn't used those lame analog only controls and keep his mouth shut on neogaf the game wouldn't have garnered as much as hate as it did.

[danielle007]

Sure, the auto-targeting sucked, the story wasn't very good, the valkyrie junk was also annoying, and I hate that Dennis Dyack guy. He makes me absolutely sure I could never be a reviewer. My review would have been "I HATE DYACK. TOO HUMAN GETS A 2.3 OUT OF 10."

But, regardless, I only played the demo at my house, but my friend took the plunge and bought it. So I stole his controller and played it for a while. The targeting really did suck, but the quick combat really was pretty cool.

You making me think of Too Human means I'm probably going to borrow it tonight.. Definitely.. Haha.

[Ya Boy17]

yea i agree with you the auto targeting did suck but the quick combat was fun i wish i rented it instead of buying it

[DelbertGrady]

Original title "The Xbox 360 Games That Every Gamer Should Avoid at All Costs"

Nice flamebait editing.

Anyways, I'd have to say Vampire Rain.

@BeaRye - Yes, but it was a 360 exclusive for a year or something. Exclusive or not, it's a very bad game and it's available on the 360.

[BeaRye]

Didn't that end up on the PS3 too?

[midgard227]

no the sequel was on ps3 :p

Edit

how did i get a disagree, the one on ps3 is a sequel, trust me i worked at gamecrazy and laughed that it was on ps3

[nnotdead]

you received disagrees because you're wrong. the tittle was changed, but the game was the same.

[Wolfie]

Deadly Premonition is not an X360 exclusive. The PlayStation 3 version was released only in Japan.

[christian hour]

Is deadly premonition that game that was made by one guy or something? And is supposed to be really weird/bad in terms of dialogue and scenes. I seen one where the main character is sitting opposite end of a really long table with an old lady and they cant hear over the in game music or something?

I dunno why but I really want to play that game... a shame it will never see light in Euro Land :(

[dgroundwater]

Trust me christian, if you are interested by the cut-scene, you would probably like it. It's an old school survival horror in an open world setting. If you know you can handle the clunky controls you are in for a fantastic story. Though I can't help your Europe situation.

[christian hour]

Thanks for the info :D I'll figure out how to get a copy somehow

[vgchica]

If not, then it would be considered exclusive. (Like all the NES "exclusives" that were actually on the Microsoft MSX?)

[Milamber]

Haven't even seen these games before, but thanks for the heads up gofanboy.

[xaviertooth]

gears of war 2 immediately comes to mind with its horrible multiplayer. in fact it's not working at all.

and next is fable 2. i rented it and i really did not enjoyed it.

[Independent_Charles]

if you are talking in a timeframe of say..2008 then your correct. if you mean today then you couldnt be more wrong. title update 6 completly fixed it in my opinion. next to no lag anymore. gears of war 2 is a steal right now. you can pick it up for 9.99 now and has really good value DLC. which other games offer you 5 free maps for buying it then has the 'all fronts' map pack which includes, extra single player missions and 19 MULTIPLAYER MAPS FOR ONLY 800 POINTS(£5). now that i can give Epic games props for.

lol i saw new cod maps on the dashboard for 1200msp for 3 new maps the 19 maps beside it for gears at 800points lol i found gthat funny

"Deadly Premonition offered one of the best mysteries of this generation and did it exclusively on the Xbox 360."

Poorly researched article, this game is known as "Red Seeds Profile" for the PS3 in Japan.
