Diablo 3
if anyone said anything negative about it. well i'll be like will write and pee on you.
I cannot wait for the day that game comes out. It'll be nice to get something other than another new WoW expansion from Blizzard.
HEY! what about StarCraft II!!! thats going to be sick!!
and for the record, Spore is not a bad game, the only problem is,
the STUPID space stage gets boring after like an hour, and then you play it a week later and say, "sooo-why the hell am i doing this again?"
nah the only stage that didn't dissapoint me (well how could they screw up a pacman clone) was the cell stage.

I'm going to take the mid-ground between both your statements and say that the cell and creature stage were really good, tribal was ok, and enjoyable at times, Civ seemed too simplistic and rushed (I thought trvelling by vehicle only was stupid, no armies?) and the space stage was just boring and monotinus (if you manage to build successful a colony, you find yourself constantly fighting off invasions and vapourising all the water on each planet just to pass the time!)
In conclusion, the last few stages were awful IMO

tribal took me 15 minutes to get through imo that was second worse to space

I don't really like StarCraft, dunno why. I like Warcraft 3 though which is similar game play but less sci-fi stuff. I prefer action or role playing type games as opposed to strategy (with some exceptions like tactics arena online). :P

nice comment, honestly, it was truthful, reasonable, and not offensive in anyway :}
WarCraft III is like, my favorite game in the world, but i still love RPGs the most
i love all Blizzard games really... well with the exception of WoW... i'm really not a big MMO fan
but! it didn't dissapoint me, i just don't love it
and i LOVE the Lost Vikings games they ROCK!!

For the record, I took back Shit-Blades, I mean X-Blades, and bought Street Fighter IV. DAMN this game is awesome! I am in love.

Another let down
CoD 5
After CoD 4 it was just so much worse. The maps were worse, most of the guns were worse, the tanks are annoyingly powerful and the story wasn't really a story. The only decent thing in it was Nazi Zombies.

I'm gonna go legally buy starcraft soon, i was gonna use a keygen but then I started feeling like a bad person... I don't wanna be a thief, and it would feel good to own the actual game and have the cd so after I uninstall it I can play it again xD

I'd say when Blizzard allowed decent PvP gear available for shit all honour.

Call of Jaurez for the 360 was a pretty bit letdown for me. I should have suspected something when it has only 50 dollars on launch. I bought it the first time I could, like 2 days after it came out, and it was just okay. Not horrible, but not worth the anticipation that I poured into it. The story is short and the online is pretty half ass. Somewhat fun, but only if you are playing with friends that you talk with and everything. Otherwise, a waste of 50 dollars. If it as like 20, I would buy it again, but it just wasn't what I thought it was going to be.

MadWorld, Here's a big fucking chainsaw arm, dont use it though, it wont get you points. Instead, run away from the enemies looking for trash cans and sign posts.
I don't know if it's called MadWorld cause it pisses you off,
or because the game designer was clinically insane.

That's funny, cuz I
almost got MadWorld in exchange for the shit-tastic X-Blades. That would have sucked to have another epic letdown. I played it safe and went with SF IV.

I was really looking forward to Eat Led, but it's been doing poor in the reviews.

Me too, I'm a huge fan of Will Arnett and was hoping it would work but yeah, its getting pretty bad reviews.
Lets just hope the Arrested Development movie fares better...

Hellgate: London. I thought to myself, "can't go wrong with a company that consists of like 70% of ex-blizzard north employees". I even bought the Collectors edition of it and pre-ordered it to get in on the beta which I now realize why they made me pay before playing the beta. I'd complain more but flagship no longer exists. They took down Mythos with them which is a game I imagine could have redeemed them, but no. I'd blame EA too but they have eyes and ears everywhere...wouldn't want to end up missing or something...
