Games that should be avoided.

Ever had one of those day, you passed through a window shield of the local game shop, saw some awesome game cover and said to yourself.. "That looks cool!" and then .. "I'm definitely going get this!". Few hours later when you reached home, inside the disc, and found out you face starting to melt after playing for an hour. Looking back at the cover and, again, said " WTF was I thinking!? I wasted my lunch money on this CRAP?" Moments later, you find yourself overdosed with anti-depressant. I pity you..

Fear not my friends, here's some list of games you shou
ld definitely and surely avoid.. you have been warned..



1. Damnation.


The name says it all.. Damnation. This steam punk third person shooter has seem to have lots of potential and hype from the producers, but sadly all of the aspects and mechanics fall flatter than Billy Ray Cyrus singing career. Animations are stiff and restricted, backdrop graphics, framerates and even storylines and some what unpolished and gritty. don't get me started on the gameplay. Nothing good seems to come up throughout the game other than the huge scale of every level. So for those who just want to play Damnation, just borrow it from your so-called friends and slap it to his/her face for buying it.


2. Clive Barker's: Jericho.

I wonder what was Clive Barker was thinking (let alone smoking) when he decides to make this game? Jericho didn't promise, mostly, what reflects the expectation and game design at all. Your squad mates are a bunch of knuckle drivers. Meaning you'll be baby sitting them constantly using your magical band aid to survive. While others are shooting the same beasties over again and over again. Deep down this first person shooter has very limited movement and even lower than mediocre gameplay. When you look at the back of the cover it looks great, but when you finally sink you teeth in it, it never tasted so bad. Call Clive Barker asked him, "Whatever happened to PinHead!"


3. Haze.

From the moment you put the game inside your PS3 and experience a 5 minutes installation time, you might be pondering "Playing this game based on taking pharmaceutical drugs that enhances my shooting skills on the battlefield must be an advantage! And It's a PS3 Exclusive!" Wrong! Well you should know you'll find it's a total let down. This is s kind of game that's aggressively average on every level. The stories are linear and transparent throughout and graphics are just seems awkward and robust. We've waited long enough for the delay, they should have delayed it even longer or canned it!


4. Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust.

Larry Larry Larry.. My you haven't grown a bit. Meet Larry, a virgin by nature, sexual predator by choice and a loser known by millions. This installment renders him to getting into Hollywood to find fame. fortune and babes. This sandbox game forces you to revamp your way to stardom, but the sexual innuendos make bad obligations and short on puns. The look of the game is very very cartoonish and glitchy. The stories themselves made any porn production win an Emmy. Although its about smutty humour, its laughs are non-existent. Gameplay wise, its just basically running around looking for objective and silly sexual theme mini games. When you play this game, tell your kids or little brother to forget this Larry when they grow up.


5. Dynasty Warriors 6.

To really think the Dynasty warrior franchise has evolve or revolutionized its gameplay and also its overall foundation. Sad to say, it hasn't. Dynasty warriors has never broke it's tradition. The graphics doesn't do any justice, you might confuse yourself to it for a last gen intuition. Gameplay however i can say three words. REPETITION, REPETITION, REPETITION! Once you conquer every single empire, the no other motivation for you to play it again or anything that relates to any Dynasty Warrior franchise.. So here's a mild spoilers for you.. It SUCKS!



6. Wanted, Weapons Of Fate.

As if there's isn't any copy cat third person shooter there already. Wanted, Weapons of Fate is just one of them. Universal Studios decided that it would to cool to make a game based on assassins that can "Curve the bull" to a dumb ass bad guy right between the butt crack. We say.. Not a FREAKING chance. Every gameplay aspect has the same as any other great shooters like Gears Of War, Uncharted, Army of Two and so on. The only original concept of this game is Curving The Bullet. It may sound fun, but after a while its just a one trick pony. Levels after the next, your basically doing the same formula, if you cant seem to hit the guy behind the walls/crates/tables or even anything. The story, if you care enough of the movie, it raises even more questions than answers that of the actual movie, and where the heck is Angelina Jolie?
