how do you screw up a game where you have giant robots that turn into jets,cars,scorpions and helicopters as the playable chracter.
seems kinda hard.

With movie tie-ins, its usually budget versus very strict time-table. The devs are only given a finite time to develop, playtest and de-bug a game usually with a minimal budget. If the game's not ready, who cares because it MUST be out within a certain time to match the release of the movie in theaters. These movie tie-in games do not control anything, its the other way around in this case, i.e. Hollywood and movie release dates controls the game.
They must make money, however, because these often very crappy movie-tie in games still get made. I believe its because for every one of us that reads and scrutinizes every new game that comes out there are 3-4 others who don't care and just buy games based on the cover, title or commercial.
Hell, even considering Spiderman 2 video game. Arguably one of the better movie tie-in games ever. I may be wrong but my understanding is they took a Spiderman game that was in development for a while and slapped the Spiderman 2 gloss over it. Pretty good game but the movie parts were mostly poorly done and it was obvious.

Well that explains it. If you were a youngin' when the NES came out, you would have been amazed with Zelda!
And so, due to rising costs of maintaining the Golden Throne, the Emperor's finest accountants spoke to the Demigurg. A deal was forged in blood and extensive paperwork for a sub-prime mortgage with a 5/1 ARM on the Imperial Palace. And lo, in the following years the housing market did tumble and the rate skyrocketed leaving the Emperor's coffers bare. A dark time has begun for the Imperium, the tithes can not keep up with the balloon payments and the Imperial Palace and its contents, including the Golden Throne, have fallen into foreclosure. With an impending auction on the horizon mankind holds its breath as it waits to see who will gain possession of the corpse-god and thus, the fate of humanity......
also i think sonic is starting to get stale.
when i was playin him on the genisis all the games were about were running but when he got into the more 3d games thats when he turned into my worst nightmare.

A lot of the older Star Wars games were excellent. X-Wing was good, and it's sequel TIE Fighter was even better. X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter and the expansion (Balance of the Force, I think it was called) were also good. X-Wing Alliance was also good (although I haven't played that one). Star Wars Dark Forces was very good, as you said, and Jedi Knight was awesome. I didn't play Jedi Outcast, but it looked pretty cool, and it got good reviews.
I heard Custer's Revenge was pretty horrible on multiple levels. I haven't played it though, and I wouldn't even if I had the chance. I'd say it's worse than ET.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.
Also to add, the game starwars the bounty hunter was pretty god aweful. You think "oh cool a game where Im Boba Fett kicking ass and taking names" but its terrible. The levels are totally random and chaotic, your just running around until you stumble on the right direction to go. The control is gak! Its a craptastic game
I loved Bounty Hunter. It was fun and it was refreshing to do morally ambiguous things in an otherwise goody-two-shoes centric universe.

Looks like someone is trying to copy the angry video game nerd. Mappy Land is absolutely horrible by the way.

Not necessarily bad, but the most disappointing game I recall is Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.
The game itself was nice, but the story line was soooo short that my wife and I finished it in a day or so. We were like, "Wait, what? That's it? I was just getting started! Where's the receipt?"
