Biggest Disappointments of 2009

For every high point in gaming (the long-awaited release of Modern Warfare 2), there's a depressing low, whether it's a game not living up to the hype, a delay or some other nonsense. With that take a look back at 2009, the year of suck. Grab yourself a hankie.

Pretty much all the exclusives that came out for the PS3 was a disappointment.

K2: Mediocre shooter with decent graphics

Infamous: Repetitive gameplay. The only good thing about it was the train rail gliding.

Fat Princess: Biggest PSN flop ever. Nobody cooperates and nobody talks. Potential is there but it would've done better on XBL.

Rag doll Kung Fu: Sucked even though I got it free through the Sprint promo. Talk about crappy controls.

MLB09: Sucks again. no improvement in graphics and gameplay. You're better off sticking with MLB08.

Uncharted 2: What can I say it was decent but no way does it live up to its hype. Single player was good but suffered freezing and clipping. And online is just pure garbage. It feels tacked on.

Pretty much all the exclusives that came out for the 360 was a disappointment.

Halo:SDTV: Mediocre shooter with horrible sub-par HD graphics

Ninja Blade: Repetitive gameplay. The only good thing about it was not on PS3.

Shadow Complex: Biggest XBL Arcade flop ever.Controls don't cooperate and AI is crap. Potential is there but it would've done better on PSN.

Halo Wars: Sucked even though I got the demo for free through XBL. Talk about crappy controls.

GTA4:Gay Tony:DLC Sucks again. no improvement in graphics and gameplay. You're better off sticking with Saints Row 2.

Forza 3: What can I say it was decent but no way does it live up to its hype. Single player was awful suffered freezing and clipping. And online is just pure garbage. It feels tacked on.

"Uncharted 2: What can I say it was decent but no way does it live up to its hype."

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uncharted 2 IS SKY HIGH. ITS UP THERE^^^^^^^^^^with one of the BEST games this generation and it will not be knocked off easily.

Thank you for listing 6 diverse games for the PS3 HYPOCRITE.
MOST PS3 EXCLUSIVES EXCEED THEIR EXPECTATIONS.
They leave you in awe unlike the 3fixme because its last gen, we've seen it all before, not suprised.

You have 0% on your profile meaning you have never touched a PS3 because people actually speak on Fat.P

"The only good thing about it was the train rail gliding"

You serious 0_0
Gliding in the air
Thunder dropping
Blowing cars up etc. never occured to you when playing the demo?

P.s. You also forgot something as simple as FLOWER which cannot be done on the 360 because it is junk which belongs in the bin.

I suppose it's easier to downplay the load of PS3 exclusives than to list Xbox 360 exclusives.

Yh I really don't know why PS3 and PSP has to be mentioned. 2009 were their best years, especially PSP.

They got great services and games.
These people are really THICK.

If this writer took his time to realize why Netflix requires a disc, maybe the whole list wouldn't seem so biased. That, along with the fact that nothing bad was said about the 360. I can name a few:

"Facebook and Twitter Apps On 360... For Gold Members."

"360 Gets A Big Exclusive... 9 Months Into The Year"

"Forza NOT The Definitive Racer"

etc.

The lack of 360 exclusives this year and the flop ODST should have made the list. Every true gamer will agree.

11 - lol this "article" (is it?) is xbox fanboy trash
bashing the PS3's Netflix "It was a dream come true for many, but it came with a catch: you need a disc to run it, which makes no sense."
oh no! you need a netflix disc until a ps3 firmware including the disc's software is available. that's horrible! ridiculous.

pspgo bashing: classic.

i don't think the 2009 year was a fiasco especially if you have picked the big ps3 exclusives like killzone 2, yakuza 3 and uncharted 2... :|
