It was okay for the most part but it was so short and you couldn't go back to the areas you explored...
And the plot kinda got really boring after a bit and then very confusing...

E.T., for example.
That was the first video game I ever purchased (I was, what, 8? Little did I realize that the price included not only my allowance, but children's tears as well). So ... awful ...
I've got a plethora of games that I've purchased over the years that I would put in the "bad" category, but none of them really touches E.T.

A cool concept when I got it (the ability to fight in space, air, land and sea and traverse each one almost seemlessly) but why the hell did they make it so confusing and NOT supply a manual?

Runs fine for me too, but boring as hell. Much rather play sword of the stars two. Now that most of that games bugs are gone.

Single player is fine. I'm trying to play with two of my friends. One time one of them was indefinitely blockaded by a ship that, though visible, couldn't be attacked. It was like the game 'forgot' the ship was there. I actually went through wikis for the game looking for some technology or special rule or something that allowed that to happen. Couldn't find anything.
The last time we played, one of them wiped out a civilization entirely, but when I went to try to establish contact with him though what used to be the civilizations home system, their system was still there, in the possession of the civ that was wiped out, and they started attacking me. Following some talk on vent about WTF was happening, we all had different accounts of where the game was. We quit the game and found out that everyone had radically disparate scores being reported.
I am unsure there's been such unreliable multiplayer since Unreal 1 Internet play.

Try Mount and Blade Fire and Steel. Much better then that turd.

Not sure if the game itself was bad or not, but Bioshock 2 tried to break my PC. Did something with my BIOS that I don't believe has been fully corrected yet. Talked to the computer guy at the firm I worked for then, and it did exactly the same to a works PC they had spare. He was able to do something about theirs as it was identical to several they had, mine he couldn't do anything much for but get it back on it's feet. Never been the same since though.
Still believe APB was a worse crock!

Serious mode for a second, I ain't trolling, I like PC gaming, and regularly play Dawn of War 2, Team Fortress 2, and Spore. Sadly PC gaming loses out to my PS3 because installing new games is such a faff. With my PS3 it's just put disc in port, install, done. With the PC you have to make sure you have the right type of drivers, graphics card, plugins and players...Ugh. Then there's Steam, which nearly stopped me playing Dawn of War 2 (Although after the initial mess of downloading it, it's great). Also, if your computer is capable of playing newer games it sometimes stops it from playing older games (I can't play Fire Warrior because it needs an obsolete DirectX or Shockwave player or plugin, whatever) whereas consoles can play any game that was released for them. Also, my lack of techno skills means that many of the benefits of PC gaming, like modding and server hosting, are irrelevant to me.
So, sorry PC, but you will always come second to my PS3.

Troll might have been a bit harsh. I would buy xbox again just for the controller, I hate the dullshock cons.

There are other more comfortable PS3 controllers available that aren't made by Sony (licensed products, perfectly legal). I think Mad Catz make some good ones. Personally I like the Dualshock, but I can understand why you might not, it doestake some getting used to.

I think that Brink might be mine. It is by no means the worst game that I have ever bought, but it is the worst for the price i got it at. I bought it right away at 60 dollars, beat the thing and played some online, but i feel it was probably worth about 20 to me, so i think it was my worst.

I really hated Diablo 3 because of the story being SO OBVIOUS!
The gameplay was ok, but NOT worth full price...
I wish I could get the money back. It's the 2nd time Blizzard screws me over, first they banned my WoW account for no reason, then came Diablo which I really looked forward to.

Yes Diablo 3 was rather disappointing as the Sp part is concern. I was not surprised once during the game
