sadly destroy all humans: path of the furon.
i wanted to cry.
also god of war. only reason that it sold so much is because of the sex game.

Metal Gear Ac!d...! Ok ok, I didn't read about the game before buying it.. but I thought it was a MGS game! Not some crappy card game... that's what you get for being lazy, Nemesis... ;-)

A sex game that lasted ten seconds tops and was an easter egg?

Pretty poor excuse for hating it.

Dear God, I've never played anything this fething hard. The bosses can throw you around and beat you to death with flying rocks in a matter of seconds. I thought the PS2 version would be easier...

Yeah, I also have to disagree. For a Star Wars game (most of which are bad) this one was quite good and a fantastic story. I had given up on Star Wars after I through III but this story made me feel a bit of the ol' magic again.

Worst game? Hmm...

Asteroids on the 2600 was a horrible cheap copy of an arcade classic.

While I agree that's a poor reason to dislike a game, I did feel God of War was VERY overrated. It's just an average platformer with an interesting presentation.

I'd have to go with Empire Earth. First off, the entire game works like giant game of rock-paper-scissors. Heck, they even tell you so in the tutorials! Who can actually keep up with the whole "frigates beat cruisers, cruisers beat destroyers" nonsense to begin with? Not only that, but their units are so specific that the become annoying in an non-campaign game. You shouldn't be able to build Panzer IVs AND Shermans as one nationality. It needed to be more generic in that sense, saying something like "Trench Armor" in the WWI epoch rather than "Mk I Mathilda Tank" and "Advanced Armor" instead of "M1A1 Abrams". That whole game gets on my nerves so much.

Hard game? Project Gotham Racing.

You won the race, but didn't do it with enough style, so you lose anyway. WTF?

Worst game? Obvious Person says E.T.. I hated Medal of Honor, whichever was the first for the original Xbox. Somehow I have 2 copies that I can't get rid of, and have collected amazing amounts of dust in the few years I've had them.

Shenmue 2 ported over for the X-Box!

I loved Shenmue and I really wanted to continue Ryo's adventure but the port (not the game per se) was so terrible with its horrible and Atari 2600-esque control sensitivity I never finished it.

Trying to chase people through the streets of Hong Kong while only being able to make 70-90 degree turns and even then about five steps too late (thanks again to poor control sensitivity) made this more of an exercise in frustration!

A sad day for Shenmue lovers.

I know your pain

alsmost most people will agree on that.

I agree,and IIRC there are actualy thousands of copies of this game buried in a desert in California.

E.T. is responsible for the great video game industry crash of the 80's.

Star wars- Rebel Assault ala 1997 on the PS-1.

I felt robbed. I wanted my money back- and some extra to make up for feeling violated.

It was the worst star wars Fubar until Jar Jar kinocked it into 2nd place.

Most Star Wars games are horrible, especially the Episode One, two and three games. With exception of Republic Commando of course.

The actual movie-games were awful. The spin-offs were much better. Just look at Knights of the Old Republic. One of the best RPGs I've ever played.

Force Unleashed is Nintendo Hard, but it's still fun once you have maxed out Lightning and Force Push.

Battlefront II is really fun. I love the all-hero matches. Fear Han Solo and his sniper-pistol.

Eh, I prefer the good old Dark Forces, Republic Commando, Rogue Squadron and the first KotOR game, the rest is rather bland or too much of a missed / rushed opportunity.

C'mon, what about Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi?

Okay, dull and pretty average at best but made no sense as a Star Wars game.


KoToR was a breath of fresh air!

Legend of Zelda on CDI

Legend of Zelda on any system

fixed it.

What's wrong with LoZ? Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are awesome, and I still play them on my emulator.

nothing really with the more recent ones but the older ones sucked.

WHAT?!?!? Legend of Zelda on the NES is an all-time classic!



Look at that baby! Pure gold! Literally, and it was one of the first you could save your game on, save your game! That was revolutionary back then!

I'm with GoFenris here. I don't know what garret is smoking, but the old legend of zelda games were made of epic win. Hell, every once in a while I dust off the old NES to give the original Zelda a playthrough, it's just that good. I'd say that the only problem with the zelda games are the water temples.

P.S. Wind Waker was a masterpiece.

so just because i dont like a game means im high.
listen i dont like it. you just walked around and shoved you sword into everything that moved.

And what do you do in your precious Prototype other than eat people and paint the city with blood?

Well, Garret seeing as the Legend of Zelda series is one of the most successful, popular, and loved video game franchises EVER, It would appear that your opinion is indeed wrong

fly helicopters,drive tanks,fight better bosses then zelda.
Also you dont "eat" people you consume.
Also what do you do in your precious god of war other then swings blades at enemies?
Edit: also just because other people see it ass good doesnt mean it is.
Also mario sports games have gottan stale.
But lets just agree to disagree. you might have liked it but i dont/didnt.

For a great movie the game iron man sucked.
I dont get how they maked that game suck.
i mean with a playable being a super strong flying robot man with rockets and laser its kindof easy to build upon that and at least make a decnt game

Well, I'm not trashing anyone's opinion, I do think its important to judge a game based on 'when' it was released and what it did for gaming at the time.

Resident Evil (The Original) - Great game that really set the bar, atmospherically, for the time. Although Alone in the Dark was first, Resident Evil brought the idea to the fore due to its popularity. Hence a great game although I really can't play it now except for nostalgia reasons. Too much has been done better since.

Not to mention I played LoZ for days on end, back in the day.

It was great for its time but i just dont like it.
maybe its its because im of the frag n teabag generation but i dont know.

Just out of curiosity (and not to flame or anything) how old are you?

16. going to be 17 in august.

There we go, still got a squeaky voice and not enough hair on the chest to have actually lived in that great era.
