Brutal Legend and Assassin's Creed were two games I really wanted to like but just couldn't. I do plan on at least trying out Assassin's Creed 2 though. It looks like a much better game.
Not because of the wasted potential, but because Codemasters have some amazing racing games (GRID, Race Driver 3 and DiRT) so why on earth did this one turn out so awful?
i would agree, but zombie nazis kept me entertained with my friends for a disgusting amount of time, and they were pretty good with releasing new maps and content for it
@CitizenKane: i really enjoyed Too Human. Very rough around the edges but I'm a sucker for that hack and slash stuff.
God of War III was kind of a let down for me. The last third of the game (from when you meet up with pandora on) didn't hold the same quality as the rest of the game. Spider-Man 3 was a let down. I really liked 2 and it still stands out as one of my favorite super hero games (hulk ultimate destruction being the top one). Far Cry 2 and Mercenaries 2 both let me down compared to their predecessors.

It reeli reeli is, i was kinda expecting it to flop again cos assassins creed was one of my most disappointing games, however 2 is actually one of my faves, so a big turn around there :P
alan wake anyone?? after so many years in the making you haveee to expect the game to be better ¬.¬ wud be interested to hear nyones predictions for disappointing games coming out in the future aswell, a big one for me i think is gunna be alpha protocol, and the new medal of honour and crackdown 2 (enjoyed the first one, tho it had its problems and i just feel the second one cant add much more tbh, tho i have been wrong before and hopefully it will follow in the tracks of just cause which i had similar feelings about)
Assassin's Creed II: I was surprised the first one. But I found the extra tools of ACII made it too easy, there was alot of pointless, boring filler and repetition. and a story I couldn't get into because of Desmond. GTAIV: The indecision of whether to go for gritty realism or satire killed the effect of both a bit, and the tons of tutorials bored me out of my skull. Mass Effect: I am both an rpg and Bioware fan, so this bland, half-way house of GOW and KOTOR, with its long load times, poor shooting, unbalanced difficulty and boring side missions...uggghhhh.

Unreal Tournament III
Seconded! I still play and enjoy the original UT, but the only thing I enjoyed in this was the hoverboard.
okay i take back what i said about alan wake, after playing it at a mates house i found out tht its actually muchh better than it looks, i thought the shooting looked very awkward but its actually surprisingly natural, i agree with what brad said in his review about the lack of variety in the enemies, its just got such intense atmosphere and a great story XD
heres some i thought might come up more; tony hawk RIDE--> i mean i wasnt expecting much as im not into tht whole peripheral gimmick, but i had some friends who were pretty psyched about it, godfather 2--> shocking game in my opinion thought it had potential but fell flat, james camerons avatar--> i mean obv its a movie tie in and so often they are so shoddily made but still sell, this one shifted tons of units but was still not a very good game, obv its the films appeal, i thought it could have done alot more with the title. alien vs predator--> i love the films, they just got the game soo wrong, i mean they didnt make it fun, they made it boring and repetitive and it was just horrifically imbalanced lost planet 2--> i think some people have already mentioned this, but with the scope of this game you have to expect it to be better. Fracture--> interesting ideas, poorly implemented and terrible shooting Lord of the rings conquest --> i mean its lord of the rings and when i heard it was gunna let you fight in the battles i was pumped for it, but it was just terrible.. :( LORD OF THE RINGS!! Halo wars --> i knowww ppl mustt have said this, its halo and its straying from the formula its gunna be controversial, i personally was never that excited for this game, but ppl were Dantes inferno--> i know ppl who loved it, but i thought it had so much wasted potential, it tried to be god of war and it didnt even come close to pulling it off in my opinion Saw--> im not sadistic or nything.......... but i reeli wanted this to be good Mirrors Edge--> such a creative and original idea, but it didnt work for me
" RE5 or Dead Space...I hate the over the shoulder mechanic. Strangely it doesn't bother me in Batman AA. "
Probably because in Batman, you're not shooting things the whole time...well maybe if you count the batarangs and batclaw, but that all felt really intuitive and smooth. Yet I wasn't bothered by it in RE5 or Dead Space, although in RE5 it was kinda unnecessary to have Chris and Sheva aim from opposite sides of the screen.
Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising on PC was such a half assed game, I thought they' ll take the best things from the original Flashpoint and add better graphics and polish (which I feel Arma lacks) and make a great simulation and even if they dont I can just mess in the mission editor, but no that game was so bad everything from the physic of vehicles to the mission editor which was set on a stupidly low number of AI entities that you could spawn to the amount of stuff cut from the game which they talked about pre release. You could throw a grenade under a tank and kill the entire crew because they made the tanks but didnt put armour on the bottom. The most fun I got out of it was spawning a jeep in mid air and watching it bounce down the side of a hill.
