Games that came and went

[The Amazing Tea Alligator]

Azurik.

I really enjoyed that game.

 

[katsumoto03]

Shadowrun. That game was, and is, the shit.

 

[NewYork_Comedian]

I remember all the hype about Killzone, and the game didn't even make 'Greatest Hits'.

Ninjad.

Seriously, the fucking hype on the second game was crazy, and now no one seems to care about it. I still dont understand why people were excited about it, YZ sums up what i thought of it.

 

[Super Toast]

Bully. It has a small group of die-hard fans (including me) but everyone else doesn't really care about it.

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

Pariah. It was a nice game with the upgrading system and all. Noone even mentions it anymore.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Shadow of Chernobyl, I remember a lot of hype around that, then it came out and seemed to fly under the radar for most people I knew, shame to because its a great atmospheric game, marred I think by being buggy as hell at release heh

There's still some servers up. Too bad Steam keeps it at patch 1.0005

I was referring more to the first one...which wasn't all that good.

From what I've played of KZ2 it was pretty darn good.
However, the PSP game is probably the best out of the series.

 

[Skitchy]

Shadowrun. That game was, and is, shit.

Fixed that for you.

There are too many games that were overhyped and flopped recently, so I could have my pick, but for the life of me, I can't think of any... With the exception of Tenchu. Whatever happened to Tenchu games? The last one out was Tenchu Z and it was epic.

What ever happened to stealth games in general? Like the old Splinter Cell games or Thief. Where you need to be stealthy. I miss those.

One game I can't get out of my head though is Future Cop: LAPD. I had fond memories of that game and nobody else seems to remember it.

 

[Jake the Snake]

Alien Hominid. That used to be a big deal for some reason. Now its in bargain bins.

 

[onewheeled]

What the hell happened to Split/Second?

That game was getting a good lot of hype, an excellent demo, I know a lot of people were looking forward to it. It even got pretty damn good reviews (80 something Metacritic average). Now it seems like everybody's forgotten about it.

 

[Pb Zeppelin]

God of War III. Seriously, how did everyone forget about a game that epic so quickly?

 

[saintchristopher]

Ghostbusters! I'm playing it again, but no one else is!

 

[Geekosaurus]

Haze. I heard lots about it when it came out, but since then I've completely forgotten about it. I even had to search through a list of Xbox games to find the title.

 

[LeonLethality]

The Last Remnant, it's my favorite Square Enix game, but it's not very well known (probably because it's a SE game that isn't Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts or Dragon Quest...)

Fix'd

Anyway OT: New Super Mario Brothers Wii, it had huge hype and was huge on release but nobody really says much about it anymore...
