Spore Spore Spore Spore Spore.

Also, this cheap little Steam game called Osmos. It only cost about $10, but it wasn't worth it.

And DoW 2. It was very good, but there just wasn't enough game to justify shelling out a hundred bucks (Australian). It should be noted that I don't play online much.

Dead Space: because the developers obviously never saw a keyboard in their entire life
Far Cry 2: no specific reason, I just didn't get hooked to the game

The Orange Box, the only thing I liked was Team Fortress 2, and this was the PS3 version...Half Life 2 was immensely overrated.
It's PS3 WHAT DID YOU EXPECT.
You Hl2 is awesome. AND PORTAL. WHAT ABOUT PORTAL?!?!
Or did you just conveniently miss that little gem because the escapist LOVES portal?
PS3 or not, it was still on overhyped pile of turtle shit. I played Portal and never saw the "wow" factor everyone was on about.
Amen on the Portal. For the life of me I can't figure out why so many people consider it the perfect game. Too short, too easy and no interesting story or character development. The whole thing was surprisingly 'meh' after all the hype.

OT: Oneechanbara for 360. Yeah, I'm ashamed to even admit I bought it.

MW2 £50 for a single player campaign I missed whilst blinking, online multiplayer is just full of people who never play anything alse and a lot of clans who take it far too seriously.

Also Fall Out 3, just didn't really enjoy it.
Really? Those are possibly my two favourite games... Well, and Bioshock.
Why the disapointment? I'm not defending them or anything, I'm just curious.
Actually, why fallout? MW2 is fair enough if you don't like the online.
-Edit- Forgot post D'oh
I just found that wondering round for hours on end in fallout was a bit boring, and there wasn't quick enough progression for me. Plus *and I know this is going to sound ironic since it's post apocolypse* the coulor pallette depressed me. All the cities just reminded me of waterworld. All ramshackle mad maxxy typed. I'm not saying it's a bad game at all I'm just saying it's not the kind of game I enjoyed.

Street Fighter 4 (Don't hate me for that one. I just don't like it)
Relax in my opinion SF peaked on number 2 and has been steadily declining ever since.

Also Prince of Persia, I don't want a game to be holding my hand and saying "don't worry if you're rubbish have some cake and try again", honestly I swear that game was made with the intention of making people feel good about themselves.

Sad as I am to say it, Borderlands gets my vote as well, although this wasn't the case at first. I thoroughly enjoyed the game. Hell I still do, when I'm playing with a few select people. I defy you to go join a game in Borderlands (over xbox live anyways) and not find someone who has hacked their character beyond all belief. I'm not talking little things like "they have unlimited ammo" or "slightly tougher shields", because for the most part you can actually get that in-game. I mean things like ten billion shields, even more health, enough stat points to fill out every skill, over 300 inventory slots, and an SMG with almost every special effect in the game with a base bullet damage of 1000. Then, just as a final kick in the balls for making the game completely pointless, you find out that by joining that persons game, your character file inherited those traits and is now irreversibly corrupted, meaning that to make the game fun again you get to start completely over. This...is bullshit.

The last remnant
FFXII...possibly the WORST FF ever (VII and VIII were my faves)

Quite a few others but these 2 really stood out

S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Clear Sky - got into it a bit but just seemed like too much of the annoying stuff from SoC with the good stuff being unchanged and hence, boring. Never finished.

Company of Heroes - Good game, I'll finish it one day. Never really got my money's worth out of it; my RTS mindset doesn't hang around for long.

Spore - Just... not worth it. The hype, the price, the time... nothing.

Red Orchestra - Got it for cheap. Still not worth it.

Farcry 2 - Not the game so much, but it was one of the major reasons I decided to build a new PC - to be able to play games with graphics like FC2. FC2 is definitely not worth the price of a new PC.

Flight Simulator X - What was I thinking?

That about does it.

Infamous - got to the end of the second island or chunk of the city and couldnt be bothered to go further

Resistance 2 - started off better than the first but became too hard. I like challenges but some parts in tht game were just cheap.

Little Big Planet - Normally I'm not a platform gamer but i wanted to give it a go anyway

Mirror's Edge - As sson as it went inside it lost all appeal

Resident Evil 5- Played like an addict the day and weekend it came out, put it down, never had the urge to play again.

Borderlands- Pretty much the ZP review
