I agree with the wow thing, but guitar hero is really good and although cod is overated, EVERY reviewer has said its really good, and is more popular than jesus nowadays, but mostly its for the idiots of gaming who like it when something is as simple as aim and shoot, and dread the thought of a new idea coming along, and activison is doing what every company wants to do, make money, and thats all it cares about, thats why cod is never gonna change its formula for success :/weker said:

Spiderman 3
Sweet jesus, spiderman 2 was really quite good if too short. How could it be quite that bad?
I am talking about the game btw

The Golden Compass. Specifically on the DS. I had to review it, unfortunately, and it was one of the worst games I have ever played. It was a side-scroller, and the controls came down to a single attack and a jump button. Meaning there was no reliable way to dodge, and you basically went up to enemies and exchanged blows until one of you died. So surviving two encounters was rare, not because I sucked, but because there was literally not even enough to the game to make it possible to play. It was ridiculous.
Hmm...
I'm going to go with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the PS2... sure... its a pretty decent game on the PS3, 360, and PC... but the PS2 version was basically the crappy Wii version without the duel mode (the only thing that made the Wii version even slightest bit worth a damn).

Damnation - Played it on PS3 but is on xbox 360 as well.
Terrible 3rd person shooter/ plat-former (much like prince of Persia series) co-op online or split screen and multiplayer death-matches.
A steampunk adventure taking place after the events of the Civil War. A large cooperation called Prescot inc sells supplies to both sides and eventually turns everyone into robot slaves or freaky...things that try and gettcha! You play an adventurer who possess magical powers and look like a cowboy! Meet up with resistance members and try to take down Prescot before he further destroys the land and destroys...stuff?
The game is plagued with some of the worst voice acting I have ever heard in my life. The half baked story is drawn out so thin over so many levels, and the cutsceens kinda look like the quality from Final Fantasy 7! It's a chore not to eject and break your disk in half!
After the first level you are given the ability 'sprit vision' to physically revive fallen allies (visibly highlighted in BLUE), see enemies (highlighted in RED) ACROSS THE FREAKING MAP!!! If you play the game co-op on even the hardest mode, one player can stand at the levels start and stay in the 'REVIVE MODE' and let the other guy dash through a level getting shot to bits and still make it just fine!
The platforming is fun at first, making your way up vertical landscapes, but far more clumsy and frustrating then it needs to be, you solve puzzles this way and are expected to free climb most of the lengthy map just to finish a given level. It doesn't matter if both players make it, because the first one to pull the lever (and there always is a freaking lever!)teleports player two there!
I could go on from the vast amounts of badness! If you are curious about it, watch the review from Gamervison!

Two Worlds. Forsouth... Mayhap... Forsouth... aye! Aye! AYE!
the voice acting is the worst that I have came across and the game itself was very poor.

Sword of the Berserk: Gut's Rage on the Dreamcast. I didn't realise til several years later that this was based on a manga, but the game was awful even by those low standards. You had a sword the size of a light aircraft and the game constantly pitted you against enemies in narrow corridors leading to a repetitive *swing* *CLUNK* *swing* *CLUNK* *dead* scenario.
Every Super Smash Brothers game after the first one. To this day, I have no idea how Nintendo got away with re-skinning characters with the exact same moves and calling them unlockables. I read tonnes of reviews and none of them ever seemed to pick up on this fact. Even for a company that loves brand resurrection and regurgitation as much as Nintendo, copy pasting charcters in the same game takes incredible balls.

I recently got Sword of the Berserk! Only picked it up because im a fan of the manga, and I admit it is a bad game, playable but bad. There is a soft spot for it with me tho. The series hasn't taken to the newer generations as far as games go, and it was a good excuse to dust off the Dreamcast!rob_simple said:
As for smash bros, I agree with you. The first one was alot of fun on the 64 but as time went on, lack of innovation really make it feel like a copy paste, like you said.
Too Human. After you get out of 10 minutes of boring cutscenes, you get to the gameplay...where you just swing your control stick in a direction to slash at enemies. I didn't know nor care about what I was doing. The game should have been a movie.
Blacklight: Tango Down. Everything you hate about modern FPS's is in this game. Spawn camping? Check. Overpowered guns? Check. Lag? Check. No teamwork? Check. Also specific to this game are bad design, dull graphics, etc.

Devil May Cry 2. It could have been removed from the series completely and nobody would've known, nor cared. They took a wisecracking, smartass character, whose quips fans of the first and third game know were one of the best parts of his character, and turned him into a serious, all business prick who, in all honesty, was completely unlikable and who I, on multiple occasions, wanted to pitch off the nearest tall object...oh, and the difficulty was ridiculously lowered. Once you got the dualwield submachine guns the game was officially broken.
