1. Golden Sun DS considered a rumour. Camelot said nothing about it. Camelot working on a golf game on the Wii instead. oh god...

2. Goldeneye not coming to XBLA.

3. Banjo-Kazooie no longer with the classic platformer games.

4. Lack of "astonishing" material in E3/TGS

5. Burnout Paradise

I completely forgot about that. That's now my number five. Golden Sun was my favorite series on the GBA. I still play it time from time on my PSP.

The golf thing seemed like a huge screw you from Camelot, even though it's not really they're fault.

1. Haze SP (worth a bargain bin buy for MP though)
2. GTA IV MP (SP was decent, still prefer VCS... with cheat device)
3. The Wii, and the lack of decent games. System with potential let down by developers, and Nintendo isn't going to escape the blame either.
4. Metal Gear Online.
5. PlayStation HOME.

Into more detail with number 5.
Sony are throwing too much time and money into something I, and many other gamers know will be worthless. Not only that, but we were meant to have it at the start of this year... *sigh*
EDIT: Runner-up prize: DSi.

It's tough to pinpoint right now, but off the top of my head here goes. I wasn't really pumped for GTA IV so it didn't disappoint. In no particular order:

Two Worlds
Alone in the Dark
The Wii (Stolen from above, I gave mine away to a family member.)
UT III

  1. Rock Band (1&2 - UK Release, we got fucked)
  2. Bungie (I love Halo, but really: next game is next fall? Why bother announcing it?)
  3. Lack of REALLY good games (Might change with Fallout/Gears/Fable[Never Played])
  4. New Xbox Dashboard (It's not needed, welcome though, but by the time it's released, there won't be any features left.)
  5. PSP (Everything, nothing has made me pick it up since last year)

I remember GTAIV, Haze, and Army of Two. In no particular order. Haze and Army of Two didn't particularly have high expectations, but they still were disappointments.

1. Haze
2. Lack of Hardcore PSP Software (i dare you to prove me wrong)
3. Lack of features to the Updated PSP's/DS Systems
4. Star Wars: the Force Unleashed was Leashed
5. Supreme Commander

Why is Haze number 1?

Well i don't know if any of you know, but 2 of the coolest FPS games ever was made by the core of that team back when they worked for Rare Ware. Golden eye and Perfect Dark, and after the amazing things they did in that generation. Its disappointing to see everything go down the shitter like that.

Good thread.


This year eh? Hmmm.

1 GTA4 - Vice City is still my fav.
2 MAG event in PSU - They could of put way more levels in it.
3 WoW WOTLK - Ok even though it's not out yet it just doesn't entice me to go back to WoW.
4 The general lack of really good Fighting games on the 360.
5 The lack of no games like Shenmue coming out, wtf.
