Let's test that out:

Halo is shit.

I'll see your statement and raise you,

Gunstar Heroes sucks balls

But all it takes here in these forums is to make a statement that unifies all in directed hatred towards one poster, easily done with a statement like the following,
Goldenaxe and Streets of Rage are the gaming equivalent of sh1t in a cup

There now, that should be the splash of water to the face that everyone needs!

Driver 3

This game is really one of the worst things done to gamers in years, a truly abysmal game, with no redeeming features at all, where the company, Atari, knowing it had a complete dog on it's hands, sought to undermine the free press and buy up good reviews and subvert online forums to get people to buy it.

We all like some games, love others and avoid still more, all depending on individual tastes, where we love FPS, like racing titles, have a passion for JRPGs or prefer the western dungeon grind, so the difference to anyone of us between a good game and a bad one is more to do with the aforementioned taste than to a poor actual game, given the time and money invested in games these days. Even a relatively poorly reviewed game will appeal to fans of that genre.

Driver3 on the other hand is disgusting insult, a completely broken game, and looking for 50 quid in the process.
It appeals to no one, and even the stores were stung with this one, Gamestop bought in tons of these games thinking they had a hit and were stuck with crates of the things, masses of returns.
I got a copy of it a week ahead of it's irish release and I brought it back the next day, when asked why by one of the directors, a friend, whats wrong with it, I told him how muck it was and he went pale.
The rest is history.

I bought that by accident one day, while trawling the game shelves during the dying days of the PSone, reckon it's worth something?
I popped it on when I bought it and realised it was really crap, but there it lies, taking up drawer space.
So, if someone really wants it, despite what Retro and I think of it, please, send wads of hard earned cash to me!

Clayfighter on the Megadrive, I'm trying to forget it.

Played it on the Snes and enjoyed it.

Ghostbusters on the Commodore 64, you load the tape for 10 minutes, if you get killed you have to load it again for another 10 minutes

And yet there are those who feel it was a classic, I hated it too though, I had it for the Spectrum and played it on the Amstrad CPC464 and it was rubbish!

Daley Thompson's Olympic Game, my parents were constantly shouting at me as I broke joysticks every second day

Great games the Daley Thompson games, but as said before, they killed cheap joysticks like hypothermia kills grannies, best play it with a Competition Pro stick, like the big boys do.

Gaelic Games, quality TV advert, game was muck

Fair enough, I have them for the PS2 but have yet to try them out, they do come from a repected developer from Oz though, who made some well regarded Aussie Rules games.

You're in for a shock then. And it doesn't have a cult following, it's just a few 10-15 year olds that needed to play some good games. The only cult following it seems to have now is as a 'kuso game' (translation: shit game) for JRPG fans.

Leave him alone Retro!
If he wants t so bad let him have it, and when he wants his money back, then you can laugh and scoff!

He doesn't like Streets of Rage and is a rabbid Halo fanboi (!)

He knows nothing.

NOTHING!

Be quite, he's new and thinks I'm a genius, why burst his bubble now?
He'll figure it out when I start raving about Halo Reach and ranting about how much side scroling beat'em ups suck!
And I'm no Halo fanboy, I preferred FEAR2 to Halo 3 tbh, athough Retro hates both, and therefore maintains it's a stone cold fact, baby!

Yeah, maybe, I liked the psyche out kinda stuff, and whilst the scary japanese girl thing seems overused sometimes, it worked for me.
Unfortunately I have a niece who looks just like that, so I am extra nice to her, just in case she decides to concentrate and make me explode like a watermelon with a firework inside.
And FEAR 2 was far better than the first one, imho.
FEAR3 is on the way, so fingers crossed it'll all be groovy.

I could go searching for games that are perhaps worse like Pac Man on the 2600 but I don't really care about that one because most 2600 games were horrible. I didn't have any expectations they'd be good. I just found Shenmue and Half Life 2 horrible compared to whatever the developers had put out up to that point. For that matter Team Fortress 2 can go in the list. Horrible game compared to TFC or even Fortress Forever a free modification.

edit: reading back a few pages. Double Dragon on the 2600 was pretty alright. It was just horrifically difficult. I played it for months on end and only got to the last boss once, who promptly killed me. It wasn't bad per se. Just incredibly unforgiving. The graphics and gameplay were pretty impressive considering the limitations of the system.

Shenmue, horrible compared to what? I mean, it was a first, not much to compare it to really, plus you didn't like it but an awful lot of people did, I didn't get into it myself, but then one is not obliged to like everything.

As for 2600 games, I see you have edited your comments, but never the less, 2600 games were hampered by the poor graphics abilities of the console, but don't forget about it's time, and that some of the games on it were quite good, I have Defender II for it and it's excellent, Joust as well, Pole Position still gives me warm feelings and Pitfall is still the guilty pleasure it always was.
As for Pacman, it was abysmal for the 2600 but I have it and the follow-up Ms.Pacman and they seem like two different consoles, the latter is very very good indeed.
