Yeh, Shoot/rehealteammate/shoot/reheal!
And the main issue for me was run forwards = fast,
but side step and your character is reduced to a crawl! WTF!
No wonder I got it for a tenner in Gamestop.

Have they patched this?

Splinter Cell Double Agent

Such a let down after the first three and possibly the most buggiest game I have ever played. I eventually gave up when the game continually crashed at a certain cutscene and I never did finish it.

Liar
Far Cry 2
Halo 3

I bought this piece of crap called Breed a few years back.Gameplay was decent but everything else was very very poor.Examples being load times and more bugs than an anthill.

A lot of people have mentioned Hellgate London and the fact you needed a subscription - wut, I thought it was offline - I actually bought a copy last Christmas it's sitting here beside me still in it's shrink wrapping, every month or so I think heh must give that a spin, I guess I'm in for a surprise if I fire it up.

WOW is currently consuming my gametime I can see why it's being mention lol

Just remembered another. Simpsons taxi on the PS2, so so bad. Brought it back the next day.

Half -life 2: the orange box.

Because now every single game i play does not even get close to it's excellent standards. It has ruined gaming for me. DAMN you valve, why do you have to be so brilliant??


I on't have proper internet, so don't suggest left 4 dead

Simpsons Wrestling! Probably the worst game I've ever played!!

I feel your pain.
Was really looking forward to this as well but I only got as far as the demo. I kept my pennies for another game.
Is it worth playing at all?

50cent bullet proof loolz

I gave this game alot of chances, more than I give alot of other games, hoping to see a glimpse of the brilliance that made up RE4, but no.

Don't even rent it.

The World Ends With you (overhyped)
GTA Chinatown Wars (same old gameplay)
Virtua Fighter 3 (could never gel with hardcore fighters)
Apollo Justice (huge step down in the Ace Attorney series)
Bioshock (mega overhype, probably my own fault in believeing it all)
Assassins Creed (hugely limited, wasted potential)
Mass Effect (not a patch on KOTOR, buggy and unsatisfying sidequests)
Mario 64 DS (awful control scheme)
Wii Fit (balance board is fantastic for gathering dust though)

I actually loved Hellgate. Granted, a mate and I had a *cough* magical *cough* version that we could play online for free, and it was so much fun.

PES2009

Hellgate <- meh
Warhammer online <- Whatacompleteloadofcrap

Really? Do you still have it? It's considered rare, and AFAIK can get upwards of €50 on eBay.

Perfect Dark Zero (360) - guess I got caught up in all the launch hype. Left me cold
Simpsons game (360) - reasonable fun with friends, but actually depressing on single player
The Getaway (PS2) - repetitive, cliched

magenta'd for filthy lies.

Mass Effect is better than KOTOR. better universe, characters, combat, writing and isn't riding on starwars coat tails.

Also Mass Effect has a far less offensive morality system than KOTOR. And wrex. Wrex makes everything better.

Mass Effect rode on Star Wars coat tails worse than Knights of the Old Republic in the sense that it felt like a poor imitation of the Star Wars universe. The Old Republic was a fresh of breath air to a universe which originally was just a backdrop to a morality play for a lot of people. Old Republic's characters were just better all-round: Jennifer Hale's Bastila Shan, HK-47, Canderous Ordo, Malak, Kreia, and Atris. And apart from the unfinished feel of the second game, both stories are great and better than Mass Effect's and the only writing that struck me was the discussions of the Jedi and Sith religions in the Old Republic. I think an offensive morality system is to be applauded in an age where discussions and any form of expression are routinely moderated and censored.

I preferred Mass Effect's combat, because it's the lesser of two evils. That said, Mass Effect's squad combat was crap compared to what they originally demo'd, let alone compared to other games.


The most striking thing about Mass Effect was viewing the beautiful landscapes and skies on the planets, even if the Mako was shoddy. Visiting the Moon was definitely the sickest moment in the game.

I don't know what game you were playing, ME is miles away from Star Wars.

Wrong.
I think you'll find that conversations that are about humanities intolerance of others, racism, abortion, xenophobia to trump long diatribes on hokey space religions.

Way to miss the point. Everything in KOTOR is childishly black and white. mass effect was far less preachy and shades of grey. Hell, it wasn't even good and evil, your character was essentially good, the choice was if you decided to be space-Jesus or sheppard, space asshole.
