Ok everyone had their fair share of buying a game then immediatley running to the toilet jking

But everyone has a game that glitches too much, plays as if ur playing chess, plays like a atari game(not all are bad), or a game that just plain stunk

Ill try to keep a master list

Rules:
1. Give ur info Title-System-Rent, borrow, buy it cheap, don't touch it-Why?

Try and keep it with games within the past 3 years

If the number has a * beside it its now removed because someone gave a better reason to buy it

Master List of Bad/Not-grand games
Updated : December 1, 2005
1. Yoshi's Touch and Go- DS- If you know someone who bought it by accident borrow it overnight- Its way too short
2. Pokemon Emerald-GBA-Buy it cheap- Not bad but you have to beat the game to get the extra island and the stuff inbetween feels old
3.Resident Evil 4-PS2-Don't touch it-Awful cameras and pointless puzzles
4.Xbox 360- Xbox 360- borrow- not worth your money yet.. no killer app
5.Shadow the Hedgehog- Multi- Don't touch it- Bad gameplay and the gun just screws it up
6. Tony Hawk's American Wasteland- Buy it cheap- Dull levels and loading times are evident
7.Super Man 64- N64- Don't touch it- If youve seen a video of it you know its crap
8.Yoshi Safari-???- Don't touch it- When Mario has a gun yeah u know...
9.Pokemon Channel- GC- Borrow it- You can beat the game into around 7 days
10.Pokemon Dash- DS- Don't touch it- Its a tech demo basically and too easy
11.Yoshi's Story- N64- Borrow it- Sequels should be better but this one aint
12.Yoshi Topsy Turvy- GBA- Borrow it- Irritating sound and easily beatable in two days
13.Ratchet: Deadlocked- PS2- Borrow it- Shows sequels can stink
14.Full Metal Alchemist 2- PS2- Don't touch it- Story is short incomplete and the game is easy and too forgiving
15.Splinter Cell Chaos Theory-DS- Borrow it- You need to play almost in the dark and collision detection at close range is a pain in the @55
16.Rayman DS-DS-Borrow it- Without an analog stick its harder but with all the glitches of the old one don't bother unless you want a harder difficulty
17.Gretzky NHL '06-???-Don't touch it-Bugs.

resident evil 4 - ps2 - once again we return to the land where turning around quickly forgot and being able to see what your shooting at mattered"fair do's it is a bit better now" and of course an annoying amount of pointless puzzles!

brought it took it back brought tony hawks american wasteland instead now that is good

meh the whole Xbox 360 system in my opinion...
Not that improved from the Xbox... PS3 and Revolution are much better with CELL technology, tons of more games, and new kind of controller
lack of good games
the only good feature on it is the on-line feature and even that you have to pay money for
$60 for a game when its just a DVD

The Chronicles of Narnia-wow... do i REALLY need to explain here?

Shadow the Hedgehog-its sonic with a new color and a gun... ruined sonic permantly... why sega why put a gun on shadow's hands!!!

thats all i can think for now

Resi 4 is a really good game, at least it is on the Gamecube, but it'd take a lot to screw that one up.

Direct movie story tie ins all suck and also Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup, I rented it and it is just one huge misake.

THAW? That's what I'm putting on my list for this thread. They claim no loading times, but there are. You skate through a tunnel as the rest of the level loads. Each area is dull compared to the classic levels. I regret the purchase. Traded it and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, as well as my Wavebird controller and got Mario Kart DS. Now there's a game!

I'm beginning to regret that I bought Shadow the Hedgehog. Sure, it has a good story. But, I don't like the gameplay, the character, and having a Sonic character hold a gun (especially one that looks like Sonic). Most of the vocal music is bad. Level design is horrible. That's all I've got to say. It's a good game sure, but I'm beginning to hate it so much that I'm at the point of selling it.

I hate to say it but...
Pokémon Colosseum. I just actually aren't interested in the game, didn't even complete it.. Maybe because I saw my friend complete it and he traded me some pokémon with his Pokémon Colosseum.. I just got bored soon...

Ski > You
Yu-Gi-Oh: The Sacred Cards. Pointless, easy, no replay value, and the God Cards plain stink.

Yoshi's Story.

I should be hung, drawn and quartered for even contemplating on purchasing that horrid excuse for a sequel in the first place~

I assume you thought it'd be as awesome as Yoshi's Island as well, huh? >_>;

I was just about to say that...So buggy.

Avoid any game that has the word "Yoshi" except for one called "Yoshi's Island."

Yoshi Safari? WTF? Just...WTF. Giving Mario a gun is plain screwed up.

Avoid any game that has "Pokemon" AND has no color for it except if it has XD on it. (which wasn't THAT good too.) My mistake buying Channel....

Avoid Halo and Halo 2 if you don't have LIVE for your life because....it's Halo. Don't listen to GameFAQs about it being 9th best ever.

I would have to disagree with you on Shadow the Hedgehog. The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is awesome. Plus you don't need to use a gun the entire time.

Avoid these:

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex - GCN
Need for Speed Underground 2 - GCN
Pokémon Dash - terrible. dissapointing. easy. sucky. don't get it.
Any Skater or sports game (Football, Basketball, Baseball) except for the Mario ones - those are fun.
Anything made by Sony - cheap and mediocre games.
Pokémon Channel is only good if you get it at bargain bin price (like $5)
Mario Party 4 - too boring and too short. I'm starting to wonder about 6 & 7 being the same way.

There are several games I sold on Ebay and got up to $60 for them but oh well - I cant remember them right now.

The original Halo had XBL support?

The action may have been a bit dumbed down, but it didn't have the horrendus chore of babysitting Baby Mario, who whined every second he was away. I honestly liked Yoshi's Story. Guess I was the only one. It was a bit simple, but not awful.

Yoshi's Island though, I still have that. Great game.

I hate Yoshi's Island because of that damn Baby Mario. Oh well - Baby Mario & Luigi are in "Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time" and it doesn't look like they will be drowning themselves with tears (pun intended)

Ruined Sonic permantly? ...Yah, talk about exadrating. Besides the fact from what I've heard that you don't have to use the gun for the entire thing and it's not like the main thing in the game, Shadow is different than Sonic. Heck if this game is good enough they are planning on giving Shadow his own franchise, as in making it different that Sonic. It didn't ruin Sonic. It ruined nothing.

Make that only one of two people, I liked the game also. Yah it was really simple, but it was still fun.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO!
Yoshi Topsy Turvy: The sound and music is irritating.
Mario Golf: Advance Tour: Too easy
Power Rangers: None of them, all are horrible.

Braaiiiiiinss......
Do not get!

Crash Tag Team Racing-Get away from this ugly Double Dash ripoff.
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly and Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs-Boring.
Legend of Kay-Trust me. Don't get it.
Ratchet: Deadlocked-Worst game in the series.
Coded Arms-Controls and difficulity are tedious.
Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble-EGM says it sucks, I say it sucks.
Star Wars: Battlefront and Burnout 3-They are good, but if you have online compatability, avoid!
Fullmetal Alchemist 2-Too feeling incomplete, too crappy, too short, too easy, too forgiving.

Game Boy Micro-Why the he** does this exist anyway!? It only plays GBA games. Removable faceplace my ***.
PSP-Not too popular and half-***ed games
------------------------------------
Borrow/Rent/Get Cheap. The games below are good, but short.

King Kong-Six hours long
Genji-Sevne hours long.
Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2-Like ten hours long each.

Actually you do have to explain PUreHEarT have you actually even played the game? The Chronicles of Narnia is a good game. Just because most movie games suck doesnt mean they all do look a its rating. http://cube.ign.com/articles/666/666411p1.html 8.3 is a very good rating.
