Disappointment is a part of life. In fact, most things in reality are fairly disappointing which is why many people turn to video games. They're a kind of trap door that leads to a different world. In this world players get to experience a sense of value and worth not found to the same degree in the real world. As time goes by, the depravity and disappointments of the real world have begun to appear in the virtual game world that many of us find refuge.
This is a list of games that had a world of potential but the developers failed us in making a truly remarkable title worthy of the praise they've been given. Damn them.

Get the scoop on Comedy Central's exciting new cartoon show inspired by the iconic Golden Axe video game
Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
didnt read the pointless article but from looking at the pics...ill ask why red dead? why alan awake? why modnation? they all great games they didnt dissappointed me
well, I'll answer:
If you'd read the 'pointless article' then you'd have an answer to your moot questions. I do apologize for not having more picture to blankly stare into though and in the future I'll work harder at being totally superficial so that there's minimal thought involved.
good article and interesting site.
personally i would classify mw2 as shovelware,despite its budget-it was a quick, dirty and sloppy cash in that was released seemingly without any form of bug testing or quality control in order to meet a deadline. it needed several more months in development, it felt like an unfinished rush job; the definition of shovelware.
just because something was expensive doesn't mean it can't be shovelware.
i'm not familiar enough with the other games to comment.
Don't agree with MW2 or Red Dead.
I've spend about 25 hours on red dead single player, and no where near finishing it yet, I think 50% though.
I've spent about 330 hours on MW2 multiplayer and still going, anythign with that kind of lifespan could never be a dissapointment. I've spend £60 on MW2 (£40 on the game & £20 on 2 maps packs) and it's by far the best money per hour game I have in my exstensive collection (works out about 18p per hour just on multiplayer).
I agreed with FF13, IMO, it was a disappointment.
