We have seen it all before, games that were pushed out the door as quickly as possible just to make a quick buck. Well now its time to distribute blame for these games that have fallen by the wayside. Many of these games were released by quality manufactures and though these games are awful, it doesn’t reflect the quality of the people that make it. We all make mistakes so I’ll try to be nice, but no promises.
5. Haze – This game was a product of major league hype when it was released as a launch title for the Playstation 3. What we got was a poorly written story and laughable AI. If you are looking for a shooter you are looking in the wrong place, this game will just cause more harm then good.
4. Clash of the Titans – This is almost as typical as movie tie ins get. Clunky controls, mind numbingly repetitive hack and slash game mechanics and terrible voice acting combine to make a game that you should leave in the bargain bin. I don’t care how much you loved the movie, the game isn’t worth the money you paid for it, guaranteed.
3. Rogue Warrior -The game looked decent from all the previews but when it came out the game just didn’t come together. The controls were very stiff, the dialog was uninspired and the AI was awful as most games in this class are. The worst part was that this game wasn’t anything we haven’t seen before. There are just so many clones gamers can play before it gets old and by the time Rogue Warrior got there gamers were done with shooters for the moment. The next thing you knew Rogue Warrior was in the bargain bin.
2. Iron Man 2 – Yet another movie game that just turned out bad. You knew this was going to be bad since the entire team making the game got word that this game was the last game they would make for the publisher. A team working with a pink slip in hand is not going to get people excited about this tie in. The graphics in this game were abysmal and wasn’t worthy of next gen consoles. The voice acting was done by the movie actors but it just didn’t mesh well with the game. It’s cool that the close ups of Iron Man’s suit looked good but that’s the only positive in this awful game.
1. Terminator Salvation – This game is notoriously bad. The fact that no one cared about this game just oozes from its surface. The graphics, voice acting, story, game play, characters, you name it were just awful. The only reason people play this now is the trophies and even then you’ll run into a ton of bugs you’ll have to work through to get those points on your profile. Take my advice, leave this one alone it isn’t worth it. People don’t respect those points and you’ll waste 3 hours of your life. To those that played this, you have my condolences.
