The absolute disgrace that is the PS3 version of Fallout 3 GOTY. It is unplayable to me, has been unpatched and the company should be brought up over it.

Ditto on the no PAL Demon's Souls release.

Ditto on the lack of Xbox 360 exclusives, I bought a 360 this year looking forward to quite a few exclusives only to have them pushed back, and pushed back again. Thanks be for XBLA!

Sony and their handling of the PSN regions. They need to have one QA department to minimise the wait between regions for digitally distributed content. Sick of waiting for games to come out here.

Bioshock 2 put back to 2010. Still, it's only a couple of months now,

The mess of an online service that is psn, sorry ps3 heads, but you get what you pay for, and in my case sometimes not with sony's messed up online service letting me download demos, pay for the full version, and then not letting me download the activation key.

Grrrr...

Mr Freeze

Operation flashpoint 2

its just not the game they showed us is pre launch videos and screen shots, that game looked class, the game in the box looked crap and was crap.

Alone In The Dark

Another game that looked great before launch and was just a buggy mess on release.

Operation Flashpiont 2 was a disgrace.

And I'm probably the only one who was upset that the Aliens RPG by Obsidian was cancelled.

Duke Nukem: Forever - We kind of all had that sinking feeling that it would never be released, but the perpetual state of limbo it existed in kept the dream alive. To have it finally get canned after so many years of waiting was a huge disappointment. Surprised nobodies mentioned it yet

Biggest relief maybe, rather than disappointment :P

MW2 the game where 100 year old shotguns and sharpened metal are the weapons of choice in the modern warzone. And the state of youtube filled with videos about the bloody game.
