    definitely Far Cry Instincts on the Xbox. Very boring just run and shoot no tactics, and the driving what was that all about

    Suikoden 4
    Suikoden 3 was disappointing but still a good RPG. Was expecting good things for S4 since most of the original team had gotten back together. What I got was an RPG riddledm with random encounters every 10 seconds, uninteresting story and characters.

    And of course Twilight PRincess being delayed :mad:

    Burnout Legends - PSP

    Horrible looking game. (I'm not talking about looking at the box or anything, I bought it but gave it back after a few hours of playing time).

    Pro Evolution PSP. What should have been the definative handheld football game ended up being a mess. Terrible slowdown, and the total lack of any master league and even worse any cups, make this a big let down.

    Dull launch line up with only PGR3 being a standout exclusive, Perfect Dark Zero being terrible, no new games or genres that could be done on a current gen console with slightly lower quality graphics and really not a huge leap forward in visuals for a next gen machine in fact I've seen nothing my PC couldn't do. Basically it offers the same except now overly normal mapped.

    Exactly what Retr0 said. And we're only suggesting nominees at this point and I think it should be a contender.

    Personally I don't really give a rats arse about the 360 and am more disapointed that Zelda got delayed.... but somebody already mentioned that.

    Does FFVII: Advent Children count? Not a game but it was pretty bad and undermined the previous game.

    I'm with Dagnir on Fahrenheit.

    I'd also just like to put down gaming in Europe. We're missing out on so much. Sick of having to wait for the big DS releases. Sick of having to wait for Shadow of the Colossus. Sick of not knowing if we're even going to get Guitar Hero here. I

    The Movies - PC

    Didn't live up to my hopes. Now we all get to watch clones of ready made scenes being used over and over.
