Halo,Games and Expanded universe
I would go into depth about it, but put "Halo" into the search bar and you'll find all the faults to pick apart.
I find it perfect.
But really? Heat seeking rockets on legendary? Really Covenant? And if I pick it up, for the love off god, can I get it too? No? Well Fuck You then.

Hey Black Ops!, if that is your real name.
How come your out in the open smashing, shooting and exploding everything in sight.
How come china, australia and mainland europe just saw mushroom clouds from our operations?
Were black ops right, so where's all my stealth gone, or did that fuck off in embarrassment of your elephant like subtlety too?
What!? You expect me to fly this massive helicopter on my own? Oh, and you want me to man all the weapons systems too, perhaps i should prepare some drinks and mop with my ass broom!?
Wait a minute, what the fuck is my co pilot doing?
Oh, right he's chasing the dragon listening to the stones, fair enough! I was planing to do it all myself anyway, like i wanted help. Next time I'm the co-pilot.

Halo Reach:
BUNGIE! You overestimate the amount of good that exists in the cesspool that is Xbox LIVE! People WILL quit in the middle of a game no matter what. Even if you shot their dog with a BB-gun each time!
If your next game includes some kind of online multiplayer then PLEASE allow people to drop in and out of games. It's unfortunate that you cannot rely on people to stick out a game without somebody quitting and I greatly enjoy the tears collected from the quit ban but... I can't play ONE game of Big Team all the way through. Probably 100-some games, never finished with the same number of people that started. Just let people join so games can be more enjoyable overall.

I think I will stick to crushing the Bioware cashcow Mass Effect 2. Probably my favorite game of 2010...but I had NO idea why some of the characters where even on the "suicide" mission such a pile of leaves. I hated the combat. It was slow and boooring. When compared to just about any other shooter. Shepard is a a flat character. Yahtzee said it best. I really only has 2 personalities. the waaaay goody two shoes or the kitten punching misanthrope. So stereotypical
The ones in his office were turned off. I assume the things have a limited range.The Spartan E1337 said:
Super Mario World, why do you only have two power-ups from the Mushroom? I mean, yes, the Fire Flower and the Cape Feather are nice, and all. But in the game before this one, you had even more unique suits and powers. What happened to the suit that threw hammers and blocked fireballs? Where is the suit that lets you fly and then drop onto Thwomps like a stone? Also, is there a point to collecting all of those Dragon Coins in each level in the SNES version?
Pokemon Platinum, it's amazing that you actually brought monsters from other regions into the wild when they didn't exist in Diamond and Pearl. That did help to improve a number of problems that your alternate time line had. That being said, you are still a Sinnoh Pokemon game, which sadly means that the action is slow-paced and the music is generally not up to par with the rest of the series, although you did introduce a few standout tracks. Also, for reasons I don't quite understand, other people just don't seem to like the designs of the monsters in Sinnoh. Tragic.

I loved Deus Ex to death and I still do, but even I have to admit that the AI is extremely stupid sometimes. It's possible to throw people off your trail by running into a room and closing the door if they're far enough down the hall.
Also, the acting wasn't exactly spectacular.

Chrono Trigger
SNES:
The original translation was cheesy at times "...Sir Slush". Although some fights are difficult the first time through (Magus), it's pretty easy most of the time. While I'm glad you're never really required to go around grinding, some more strategy-heavy battles would have been nice. Also, why is this not on the virtual console?
PS1:
Some nice extras, but the load times are horrendous for some reason, and the anime cut scenes feel tacked on and generally break the flow of the game. Easily the worst version of the game.
NDS:
Better script (although the nostalgic part of me misses the cheesyness I grew to love...). Includes all the extras from the PS1 version, but you have an option to turn off the anime cut scenes, and the load times are as good as the SNES version. Probably the best version of the game. However, the new extras aren't exactly great. The battle mini game is boring and one of the new areas is the worst fetch quest I have ever, ever gone through.
Portal
My problem was with a single puzzle. At one point, you need to re-direct a missile into a cube of tubes so you can stand on a cube and get into a large vent. Unless I missed something, the game never hints that the tubes are destructible, and I eventually made the jump without the cube. I only found out about a year later that there was an easier solution.
Shadow of the Colossus
The controls. The camera is especially difficult to control, but from what I've played, everything could have used a little more polish. When Ueda said that the reason SotC didn't sell well was that it wasn't good enough, I can see where he's coming from. Anyone could have rented it, put the game down because of the sluggish controls, and never gotten into it enough to realize that, despite its problems, this is still one of the greatest games ever made.
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Despite the huge world, this game can feel kind of small. There's not really enough incentive to explore the many, many optional islands--other than sailing the seas and soaking in the adventurous atmosphere.
Super Mario World
Why so few power-ups? I understand a lot of time was probably spent on Yoshi's versatility, but they could have thrown in a few more suits. Limiting Mario to a small chain of islands definitely helped make the world feel more consistent, but it also felt like it lacked variety...there were only a handful of level "types", whereas Mario 3--which, due to each map being radically different, felt a little inconsistent--had a ton of variety.

Silent Hill 2
How dare you try to be realistic and completley NOT SUCK at it!!!
In all honesty, it's a bit "too" realistic. The character isn't a combat power-house, and the game embraces that by having him useless with weapons, something he's never used before. Which, I wouldn't mind if the camera decided to make this even more of an issue.
