Which Halo game? Specify.
3, ODST (I'm aware Wars was not a bungie work so I cant blame them for that.) I think the Halo universe is awsome, It just has not been given justice in game format.

Final Fantasy 13.

~~~FLAME SHIELD~~~

As long as you know that its extremely linear, controls your leveling for the first bit, has no towns, has no exploration aside from gran pulse (which doesn't make up for the game's linearity in my opinion, and that its really LINEAR!!! then buy the game.

Just don't expect this to have a lot in common with other final fantasys.

Are you really going to be interested in what he has to say about the halo games? All the halo games have been on the good side of the spectrum.

Could you simplify it a bit? It's hard to tell whether or not you want Cyrostasis, WOW, on there. I also need a specific COD game, and a specific Guitar Hero game.
CODMW2&WOW
Do I have to highlight make it bold or even size 24 font?
Blimey if you got ooze in your head you might as well use it!

Bomberman 360

The ENTIRE story is on the back cover... I think it was 3 sentences... the single player game was the multiplayer mode with a computer.

If I remember right it right now has the worst rating of any game on review!

Cryostasis, that game was not worth the $3 I spent on it.

Not only does it run like garbage, it looks terrible doing it. This coming from a PC that can run Crysis on high at around 50fps. My friends watched me play it for 30 minutes, I literally called every scare before hand. "In this part how much do you want to bet a monster jumps from the ice there?" Then it happens. It's just so cliche.
yes but it does have one of best game story line comparing to most games
Really? I'll admit I did not get very far in the game as I got really, really bored and I felt the story was uninteresting and told INCREDIBLY stupid. Flashback, walk around for a minute, a flashback that's the same as the flashback you JUST GOD DAMN HAD except with 10 + seconds of new content - repeat like 6 times.

However, if you can promise the story is actually good (or gets good) I'll play through it more.
the story is paced in the same way as assassins creed 1 ignoring desmond part

the flash backs help to explain the story but much of it is speculation so its a very artistic style of story telling its a marmite story i would think

i would really say to push on only if you describe your self as a "first experience hunter" meaning playing stuff which is miles apart from other games

this is certainly one of them
offering a different way to tell a story

its a very thought provoking game to say the least so me as a future games designer its an important experience even if you dont enjoy

Castles and Catapults, Darkest of Days.

Also, I loved Far Cry 2. Sure, the respawning sentries were annoying as hell, but everything else was perfectly enjoyable.

space invaders for the PS1, that game is just a remake of the original with the only thing new about it being the graphics.

Final Fantasy XIII. The entire game is either running down a line while waiting for a battle or cutscene, battling by pressing the basic attack button over and over while waiting to get back to running down a line, or watching a cutscene you have no interest in while waiting to get back to running down a line or battling by pressing the basic attack button over and over. It's just an endless cycle of nothing. It's the closest you will ever get to a literal hell from playing a video game.

Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. Awful gameplay and next to no actual humor.
God I hate Matt Hazard. But my vote really shouldn't count.
I think your vote should count. Why not?

I got that game because I hoping for easy achievements, but I couldn't play past the third level because it was so bad.

Two Worlds: The creators slaughter ye olde English, and the combat is horribly copy pasted (every attack is identical, wielding two swords of fail gives you the same animation as wielding 2 swords of slightly less fail), and the game is just so anticlimactic.
I'll echo this. I bought this game for 5 bucks and was itching for a new single player RPG and felt ripped off.

There really is alot to name off, Two Worlds was the first one to pop in my mind. Having sat down and considered what other game should be avoided, (and many were considered) I had to narrow it down specifically to PC titles. I came up with Gangland as my second option. It rally excels nowhere and you are better off putting in GTA 1.

It's been said before, I'm sure, but I'm going to say it again, just for good measure; Shaq-Fu. The level of awfulness this game commands is nothing short of legendary, yet still, curious gamers who have never experienced the tragedy are drawn to it. Maybe it's the mystique of playing a game that many consider the worst ever, maybe it's grim fascination with a fighting game that stars an NBA player, or maybe it's just strong resilience to all the hype, the dogged determination that it simply cannot be that bad.

It most assuredly is that bad, and no one should play it. Ever.
I have to commend you on an original and oh so true choice in Shaq-Fu. That game was atrocious. There are so many bad games out there and it seems that my mind has blocked out alot of the really bad games from itself as trying to remember the worst games draws a blank. I have a few in my mind I can't remember the titles to and some that are on the tip of my "mind" (rather than tongue) but I can't seem to pull them out.

This is why I stayed away from consoles as the Wii is not the start of shovelware. Since home video game consoles have been around, shovelware has been pushed. It got worse with games going to CDs over cartridges. The amount of crap games on PS1 was horrific. PC also has a hearty list of shovelware games, but I wouldn't rank it on the same scale as consoles.

As for the "trendy" replies of ET and Superman 64 throughout this thread, Superman on the NES was way worse than Superman 64. I am not defending Superman 64 but throwing out that everytime I see it posted I just roll my eyes. I would honestly rather play Superman 64 over the one on the NES. As well, there was a portfolio of games similar to ET on the Atari. ET was special because of how overproduced it was in colaberation with its crappy quality.

Hmmm, that's a good question. Have any of you guys ever played a little xbox game called Pirates: the legend of Black cat or something along those lines? STAY. AWAY.

Also anything on the Magnavox Oddysey, HOW CAN THEY FUCK UP THE CONTROLS FOR A GAME LIKE THIS

Bayonetta, It will haunt your dreams for the rest of your life. It makes no sense!
Wait, Wait I take it back. Bayonetta kicks ass. It doesn't need to make sense.

A shitty game you should never play is Conflict: Denied Ops, Everything about it is bad.

Final Fantasy XII. No interesting characters, terrible combat, a generic story, boring environments and disappointing music. It was basically a single player MMO. AVOID.
