i highly disagree with everyone's posts about how all these casual games won't sell.... they're terrible yes! but they do sell.. the sad truth is that no GOOD games sell... sure extremely popular ones do like CoD4, RE5, Killzone 2, Gears, 2, L4D etc but there will always be amazing achievements in gaming history that go overlooked (not here but on store shelves) examples??? Shadow of Colossus and Ico are probably the most common examples of this.
I totally agree, those are some of the best games I have ever played, but they don't sell because they aren't blockbuster movie grade. it makes me sad.

Pictoimage for the DS. Basically, it's just a jazzed up version of the Pictochat already built into the ds!!! I mean, you can just play pictionary with pictochat and you basically have the same game.

There are some games in the case of Shenmue (an old Dreamcast game that had immense amounts of dough behind it) where they don't succeed at all in terms of sales (despite the amount of effort put in) but are amazing experiences.

There isn't one game no one has ever bought...

I know I'm a hypocrite for saying this but it's more effective if you just embed it (so I have learned)

Halo wars, my reasons are: not made by blizzard, console only, and its halo, they curbstomped any real point to that right after they finished the first game and book
Naruto: that series is mind wrenchingly shitty
barbie, my little pony, exploration games. self explanatory
gears of war 3 if they make it, will end up ruining the entire series if they are not careful
movie games and TV games: when havent they sucked?
LOTR games: overkill
anything not made by blizzard or has the name The Sims/half life on it in the computer games aisle not in the jewelcase section.

Back in 1996 i think i bought a game called "Wooden Ships Iron Men" needless to say it was maybe the worst game i bought. For the games on sale right now i just cant understand why so many people find the sims so great,i tried it but i got bored out of my mind pretty fast.

The Naruto games and the Dragon Ball z games. I can't see any reason to even consider buying them.

Actually the latest Naruto game is more fun than it has any right to be. I think it's called ninja storm. Anyway it's actually very very good, not to mention they keep giving out free DLC for it on the PS3.

Shovelware actually tends to sell pretty well despite being awful. The most unbelievably bad game design I've seen is probably a John Deere farming game. Only $10 at Walmart!

The games no one will buy are the games that no one will make.

I think even the worst game has the potential of at least one person thinking "Hey, no one else wants to give it chance, so I might as well" or "Maybe not for me, but my kid(s)/spouse/parent(s) might get a kick out of it" and thus resulting in that game selling at least one copy.

I don't get it, the thread isn't about games that have never sold one copy, its about games that you find bad enough that you wonder HOW they sell any copies. I realize the thread name is misleading, but read the first post at least.
