GameBlurb writes, "Ubisoft’s soon to be pulled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time Re-Shelled is on sale this week for 400 MS Points*, which is odd since it was supposed to be pulled from the marketplace on June 30th*. Notice all those asterisks?"
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Video game remakes are a special thing, as typically no one sets out to remake a game that was poorly received when it was originally launched but instead it’s usually only the best of the best that get the remake treatment. Games that reviewed well, were a hit with fans and (maybe most importantly) sold well are often chosen for remakes (why do you think there are so many Final Fantasy and Zelda remakes?) so it stands to reason that most remakes – are typically quite good (check out our list of the best remakes ever)… typically. So today we’re dragging these games out of the gutter to remember why they earned the title of worst remakes of all time, whether it’s because they turned a perfectly good experience sour or are just bad games in their own right."
TMNT Turtles in Time is till today known as one of the funniest classic beat'em up games ever, even its 3d version "TMNT Turtles in Time Re-Shelled" became a sales hit for Ubisoft for the 2 years they had it on PSN and XBL.
This article is a part of the "beat'em up genre tribute" on Game-Art-HQ and gives this old game a spotlight through a drawn illustration made for it as well as describing the game and the differences betwen its ports and versions.
GameDynamo - "Unfortunately, many titles fail to live up to the hype that their gung-ho advertising department kicks up. As a result, the games often end up feeling as empty and unfulfilling, much like a celebrity marriage."
My Disappointing game is Resistance 3. Insomniac Games said it would include the best of both Resistance 1 and 2.(and it looked good too) But then I played it.
Advent Rising for the Xbox!
So much hype for this dam game! I'm talking Trilogy Hype. Advent Rising already had 2 sequels in the works. Friggin previews made it seem more epic than a George Lucas trilogy. I'm talking major production here then the game came out and eventually BOMBED! Totally repetitive and stupid.
Strider, Sega Genesis
first 8Mb cartridge and i paid $79.99 at Toys R Us and got home and beat it in like 2 hours (if that long). Great graphics, fun game, 2 hours, $80 bucks, and No Happy ending!!
E.T., Atari 2600
we know the story, Atari made more E.T. cartridges than they did Atari 2600's and the game was made in like a week to cash in on the movie and totally SUCKED! Worst game EVER and i got it as a gift! Used socks would of been better than E.T.
State of Emergency, Playstation 2
This is why I hate Gamestop and game Magazines. Magazines hyped up this dam Rockstar game like it was the second coming of GTAIII! Everyone wanted it, everyone had it on pre-order except me! I waited until release day to get it and the Gamestop dude lied and said he played it and it was just like GTAIII. I Bought it, it sucked Donkey balls, got like $5 trade in Value 3 hours later. I knocked over all the anime figurines on my way through the store to make that lying sack of sht make up for the money i wasted.
Halo Combat Evolved PC
Halo Xbox was good for a console game. So with all the hype and Fanboys running around with tears in their eyes screaming "Master Chief" like 11 year old girls at a Nsync concert I decided to get it for my PC. Halo PC was absolute sht!! Good thing i didn't pay for it but i was still disappointed.
Oh that game was painful! My friend and I played it because it was the only RPG co-op game that we could find that was decent to play... but it wasn't... it was the most painful experience of my life. HORRIBLE CONTROLS... felt like it was designed for 4 player co-op and just made it for two. The difficulty felt like it with those stupid dots that exploding enemies dealt and the healing was horrendous. Worst game I wasted so much time on.
Ugh, how did they let this happen? How confusing lol.
Ohhhh man, talk about some nostalgia... My younger cousin and I played this game religiously when we were younger. I may need to get XBL again just so I can get this game.
So wait i can still buy the game or not? Wth man? This is so confusing.
How much could the TMNT licenses possibly cost that they would not renew it? Are there other company's actively trying to get their hands on it?
Dont buy this game! its rubbish! I was a big fan of the SNES version. THis version dissapointed me greatly. I should of played the trial first but I was assuming it would be great since its revamped. To my shock it made it into a crap game. I rather set my SNES up and play that instead.
