Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."
Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .
I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.
A reimagining of 5 disappointing video games and the masterpieces they could have been underneath other studios.
The Order has its faults yes but it had a fantastic atmosphere and some great gameplay. A game with enormous potential and far from disappointing. I say give Ready at Dawn another crack at it because I think they created an diamond with some rough edges that just needs some tlc.
The order should have had a sequel. The first one wasn't bad just needed a few tweaks.
PlayStation’s strong and impressive lineup of exclusives is probably the biggest edge it has over its direct competition in the market- a fact that has been true for as long as anyone can remember.
Ridge racer for PSP was actually good and shouldn't be on this list. I think I'm the only one that enjoyed Haze.
When this piece of flotsam indicated that "Being a clone of GTA shouldn't be that hard" I just closed the window.

glad to see pgr 4 in top 30, good going for a 360 game in japan.
Lair did well considering the reviews it got.
Edit: lost a bubble for sayin good job for pgr 4, some people need to get a life
I guess they love LAIR over there in Japan.
Wouldn't that be freaking hilarious if Lair went to sell a ton of copies on Japan?
they mustn't been able to read the reviews in english, they're in for a shock when they play the game and find out its an artistic abortion
I just rented Lair this week. All I can say is that I'm not sure if I'm playing the same game that the reviewers have been talking about. The games not perfect but to give it the scores that it received is a shame. If I can't beat it before it's due back then I'm definitely going to buy it. I personally love the controls. If the 180 turn was a button and it had a map I wouldn't have many negative things to say about the game. I'm really enjoying the game but then again I love to experiment with new things. If your games have to a certain way then don't bother but if you're open minded then give it a try.
