I am curious (bored too) as to what game had you guys excited about and then when it was released was a complete and utter let down.

to get you started Hour of Victory, sounded good with the different playable characters but was a let down

Clive Barker' s Jericho, Resistance: Fall of Man and Money Ball on Wii. The bonus games were rubbish.

Army of Two
Medal of Honor: Frontline
Halo 3
CoD4 Campaign

All were playable, some very enjoyable, but compared with other games in their respective genres and series, they let me down.

Kane and Lynch, I was really looking forward to the heist style coop play, and it really did not deliver.

Lost Planet, the game play was great, but the story was rather weak.

Sonic the Hedgehog (Xbox 360/PStriple).. I actually enjoyed the game a lot more than most of the reviewers did, but there' s no denying that it had some flaws.

Assassins Creed - I had fun with it, and it did a great job of movement etc, but the lack of side missions, limited voice acting of civilians, mediocre combat, and repetitive gameplay really brought the game down.

Halo 3 - I' m not too dissapointed because I didn' t expect much, but as a multiplayer experience I was let down. The broken melee attacks annoyed me, and compared to the visceral action of CoD4 it felt very floaty and distant. I' ve never been a huge fan of constant grenade spam either. Co-op on XBL is still a lot of fun, and it' s pretty much what saved the game for me. Oh, and I hate the flood, annoying to fight, and just not an intimidating enemy at all, apparently they could be the end of civilization, but they look like deformed squids crossed with a rutabaga.

Lost Odyssey - Nothing huge, it just isn' t as fun as I' d hoped. I wish there was more involvement with your character when they level, instead of them just increasing in base stats at a set rate and occasionally learning new abilities. I also wish Cook and Mack would get duct tape over there mouths and shoved in a dark corner so I wouldn' t have to put up with them.

Assassins' Creed, such a great idea, but the execution just left me very disappointed. The most monotonous and death, free roaming world I have ever played.

I was disappointed that there were no more missions with Dante in DMC4. I didn' t make me enjoy the game less, but I did wish for more with him.

And I am currently playing Silent Hill 4 and is just not very gripping compared to the trilogy before it. Now, that may change as I move forward on it, but for now, it is a disappointment.

Two Worlds. What trash that turned out to be.

Kane & Lynch. Something dark and different totally raped and destroyed by various gameplay flaws.

Assassin' s Creed. I had fun running around but didnt enjoy advancing the story much.

That one game from the now dead Majesco it was a 3rd person shooter that was supposed to be a trilogy where as you evolved as a character you' d use you powers more often then guns and stuff...I never actually got the play the game but heard it was lame...

It was Advent Rising. I was really psyched about it too, as the story was written by Orson Scott Card. The game play was standard and repetitive, but the story was pretty good. The main problem with it was that it would crash constantly and leave you with corrupted saved games.

Not played Assasin' s Creed yet, but my brother owns it.

I was kinda let down by Bioshock. The game' s not bad, but I overhyped it way too much (I' ll try not to make that mistake again after Brawl and Rock Band are released in the UK).

The only component of Bioshock I thought was overrated was the environmental interaction.

Aw thank you new guy kalensglitch! Yeah it was Orson Scott Card that first caught my attention when that game was announced.

I have Kaspersky anti-virus and this is what it picked up from your link:

I honestly don' t know if it is in fact a joke or a clever name for a virus.
