aye. that and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. turning to vapourware would be my 2 choices

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:

Perfect Dark Zero

I payed HOW MUCH for this?

Linkdude

Played COD2 (xbox 360) and i was very dissapointed with it.

Goodshape

x-box 360 should be on the list.

Dagnir Glaurung

Fahreneit

qz

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).

monkeyfudge

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi
I love the Budokai series... they've always been immense fun....

But Tenkaichi was horrible...

Lemlin

Perfect Dark Zero.

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.

B00MSTICK

Oblivion delayed to early 2006

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.

ondafly

Gran Turismo 4 - do we really have to go through all those licences again !?
Pro Evo on PSP - slow slow slow slow

i_am_dogboy

Chibi Robot not even getting a suggested european release date.
Twilight Princess delayed.

Lemlin

Gaelic Games Football. GAA fans waited years for that monstrosity!

Vokes

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

Tusky

age of empires III.

Ciaran500

Got to be Fahreneit.

Ri_Nollaig

i thought fahreneit was a great game... tho it was very short and had no replayablity
as for people saying the xbox360 im assuming u mean the 360's launch which alright i can c ur point, for me the only good game was condemend and even then that was too short
but i have to say AOEIII was waiting so long for this game

ObeyGiant

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.

December Son

BF2 being a stat whores paradise
X360 launch being as dull as a wet weekend in doncaster

Kiith

Oblivion being delayed (not that i expected it out this year)

Gizzard

PSP or Age of Empires 3

Vyse

I'm going to go with Jade Empire.

projectmayhem

project dark zero

PSP is deffo the biggest dissapointment ever - having not paid much attention to gaming press or forums over the last year I wasn't too aware of anything going on but PSP managed to break onto my radar regardless on several occasions as being hyped to a point where it was bound to be a let-down. And guess what - it was, it pretty much stopped forcing itself onto my radar within a week or so of it's release - the last I saw of it was some poor guy trying to demonstrate one on the Luas quite unsuccessfully. I'm surprised not more people saw it coming...

I haven't seen anyone swap their iPods for one to date.

Chong

Nintendo DS for me.

Gizzard

PSP or xbox 360

Mr E

PSP

kaimera

Matrix: Path of neo pc. pure tripe :mad:
