    @ JackHoleFace00:
    You're so right about Lock's Quest. It's sad shame. I went into Walmart and the entire NDS was practically full of those boring Imagine series games.

    Anyways, I agree that the "Best Game No One Played" is Air Traffic Chaos and Lock's Quest. Those games are a lot of fun. Too bad not many people have experienced their fun gameplay.

    OMG...my g/f got me the M&M Kart Racing game for Christmas 2008...this confirms never again let her buy me a game, always recommend gift cards...we played the M&M game once and agreed it was dumb, and it colleted dust...I tried it again once this evening, no better...and EB Canada only offers 85 cents if you want to trade in the game. Can't even buy a cup of coffee.

    if everyone says mercenaries 2 was a horrible game why wasnt it in the least improved sequel category

    Force Unleashed was an awesome game. Bu it could've been better

  • teefe

    Posted Aug 28, 2009 2:19 pm PT

    why is mercs 2 the worst i think it was way better than the first especially with the tactical nuke

  • Dr_Manfattan

    Posted Aug 13, 2009 5:13 pm PT

    i really enjoyed star war tfu, i thought too human was a good game- just not as good as it could have been, and mercs 2 was great apart from the occasional glitch

  • hamzah1235

    Posted Aug 13, 2009 2:15 pm PT

    i was really looking forward to haze, but its still pretty fun though

  • AmazedTony123

    Posted Aug 13, 2009 1:21 pm PT

    lol iron man sucks

  • Darbius

    Posted Jul 28, 2009 12:40 pm PT

    I have a different opinion for most disappointing. Because Too Human had so much potential I would say it sucking was by far the most disappointing. It was certainly the biggest gaming disappointment I've faced in a long while.

    And mercs 2 was meh. They should have just stuck with what made the first one great.

    why is it star wars up there?? could someone explain??

  • dropless2002

    I've just finished mercs 2, it was ok, kinda a guilty pleasure suppose.
    loads of flaws but at times alot of fun.

  • Wackybananas

    Posted Jun 12, 2009 5:51 am PT

    I've only ever noticed two glitches in mercs 2. one i crashed into a car and flew through a build ing and got stuck and the other one i jumped into a helicopter and it just exploded. both only happened once so i'm pretty pleased with the game. at least it didn't advertise all that other crap or suck as bad as iron man.

    Haze was supposed to be a great shooter for PS3 But the AI sucks and it's too buggy

  • martman14

    shaun white snowboarding was the worst game ever!!!!

  • JackHoleFace00

    Posted May 20, 2009 12:20 pm PT

    I bought Lock's Quest and loved it. It's a tower defense game but adds a story and some unique real-time combat. That sucks that it didn't sell well!

    Instead I've seen (in a Best Buy yesterday) that tons of shelf space is dedicated to games like the "Imagine" series for things like "Baby Sitting" and "Wedding Planning." Ugh! C'mon people! Is this really where we want gaming heading?! It's sickening.

    How did iron man lose to Bejing 2008? That game was horrible, I only rented because I had been told it was absolutley terrible and they were right. That garbage should have never been made.

    Why does gamespot bash mercs 2 so badly. It is one of the funnest games i have ever played, even though there might be a few bugs gamespot needs to lighten up a little on their reviews

  • havocmerc

    I like Mercs 2, but I really hate Ironman.

    Spore got pretty good ratings across the board, and it looks like it's pretty fun.

  • Sin-Thesis

    Posted Apr 13, 2009 9:06 pm PT

    mercs 2 was really fun, i dont care what anybody says, and the flat out wost game was Too Human, im glad i wasnt one of the ppl who was really anticipating it

    Yeeaaaaaaaah... Too Human...
    Playing that game for the first time after waiting roughly 6 years of my gaming life for the release, Literally almost made me decide to give up video games all together.
    BTW - the first Mercenaries game was NOT "really good" it was so mediocre.
    Not changing Ninja Gaiden II too much, was the best thing they could have done for the game. What they added to the game was perfect though... dismembering, WOW come on, that's just so fun.
    On the subject of Rainbow Six Vegas 2, that game was not a true sequel. It didn't even improve the first one, I thought the first one had less glitches, bugs, and was all around more polished.

    No matter how many times I played iron man, It still stinks something bad.

    SPORE WAS THE MOST DISAPPOINTING GAME EVER!!!!!!!!
    My little brother actually calls it revolutionary. But then again, he is 11.

  • themarkman2121
