What games do you hate?


Everybody has some. That bargain-bin special that looked good at first, but failed, the overrated MOD, the half-baked game that turned out to be full of bugs...the list goes on.

Rebel Assault 2 (LucasArts)- I don't know what genre this goes under, really. It's Space Sim/Third Person shooter. The graphics were entirely sprites on pictures, a step BACKWARDS from Dark Forces, which had sprites on a 3D background a la Doom. The gameplay mainly consisted of descent ship combat, until you had to fly through faciliites and asterioids, where you crashed into shit and died. The shooter parts sucked even more, consisting of you popping up from behind cover to shoot enemies. This got harder as the game went on until on one level you had to shoot Thermal Detonators (grenades) mid-air. PC Gamer gave it like a 6X% score. PC Gamer was clearly paid off.

Counter-Strike (Sierra)- This was fun for a while. However, it died out when people started pulling amazing shit on me. Hacks or no hacks, it got old fast as pretty much every map was de_dust, with as_oilrig added occasionaly for fun. The thing that ticked me off most was that when you died, your reward for not staying three corners behind, ducking behind a box, away from the enemy, with your thumb up your ass, was a nice four minute wait until respawn as the timer went down due to a sniper war. I eventually threw in the towel for good when my friend jumped, ducked mid-air, scoped on, fired one shot, hit me in the head, and then hit the floor with the AW/M.

Halo (Bungie)- The game is good. Yes. The game is good.

It is not the best game in the world. This game is SO overrated. Sure, I love splattering the blue-blooded Covenant aliens over my Warthog hood just as much as the next guy, but it's NOT the best game ever, unlike OTHERS would say. I would give it a 4/5, while others will burn me at the stake for not giving it 6/5.

Xtreme Air Racing (OuterBound Games)- My dad decided to get me this along with my uber Saitek joystick. This game sucks. On easy mode, everyone else sucks ass. On medium mode, you suck. The engine options are very realistic, however, merely banking your plane creates drag and takes off like 2 MPH, allowing someone to pass you. There's always this old guy giving you hints, which mainly are either obvious (Go easy on the nitrous) because you really shouldn't mash the nitrous key unlike CERTAIN OTHER RACING GAMES *cough NFS:U cough* or he spazzes out because you're flying "too low". (Hope the water's not too cold.) I go low because I don't suck at flying, thank you. The announcer sounds like the guy (and I think it is, Gordon Bowman Jones) from Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. He is so fucking repetitive. Not only that, he has the unnerving ability to call a plane by the biggest name possible. "Original Navy F4U Corsair" instead of "Blue Corsair" or "Number 22, the Corncob!" instead of "#22".

And just don't, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES try the combat mode. It sucks so much it's not funny. Two little streams of orange blasts from the nose (despite the fact that the P-51 had six guns on the wings with red tracers) come out, and like six hits kill someone, and "kill" as in their plane emits smoke, slows down, and hits the ground. This is on easy. On hard, he turns so much that he can't be seen. Keep in mind you can't track him. If you lose sight, it's over.

Secret Weapons over Normandy (LucasArts): This is LucasArts' low point. The game tries to put itself off as realistic, but it's not. It's not a flight sim at all, it's a frigging arcade game, and a sucky one at that- EVERYTHING about this game is horrible. EVERYTHING. The "flight model", armament...there used to be a post listing all the problems I found with the game. I went from A, B, C to AF, which is over 30.

Add your own!

Worst games ever, in no particular order or platform.

1. Anything with Britney Spears in the name
2. That kareoke game on the PS2
3. FDNY Fire fighter
4. Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing
5. Mad Dog Mcree and its sequal (their combine review score from PC gamer is like 6%)
6. Shaq Fu (old SNES game)
7. Halo (most overated. game. ever. It's only popular because it's the only decent FPS on any console.)
8. Counter-strike (The game is OLD. Let it die in peace for God's sake.)

Armored Core 2: Worst controls ever.

Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter: Overhyped: OMG U CNA FLI IN SPACE!!!!1


Hitman 2: Yes, Im a genetically engineered killing machine. This, however, should not mean I can take a sniper round to the back of the skull and walk it off while a deagle round to the foot will kill most folks.


Metroid Prime: Simply because the version I rente came complete with a huge game-crashing scratch on it. I could only get briefly into the jungle level =(


Amplitude: Because it can ONLY be played with surround sound. My TV's sound system sucks ass. Its a rocking game, other than that

Oh, if we're listing the most overrated games I'm going to go with (in no particular order) CS, Starcraft, Diablo 2 and Halo.

Most overrated company goes to Blizzard without a doubt.
