2010 Jimmy Gem nominees for most disappointing game. Please comment.

Final Fantasy XIV

I just received an email from Square Enix this week apologizing for how much FF14 sucks and that the entire staff has been fired and they are starting over. I hated everything about this. Square Enix took out my favorite parts of Final Fantasy 11 and improved nothing in 14. Highly Disappointed.

Crackdown 2

This was the biggest cut and paste debacle in video game history. It took 3 years for this game to come out and had less content than the original. But it did have Zombies. Nubfarm.

Monday Night Combat

Played this one night. Terrible.

Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions

Uhhhhh FNJimmy?

Naughty Bear

Same levels over and over and you couldn't progress until you scored enough points in one level, which means you have to play the same level over and over.

Front Mission

Mech game with foot Missions. Review.

Metroid Other M

This is not Samus. You realize we're talking about the female Boba Fett here right? Not some whining bitch who is going to listen to some random nuab lost on some random planet. "What do you mean I can't use my missiles? The button is just on the other side of that door. I, finna blow the shit outta this place."

Scott Pilgrim VS The World The Game

You could have put some modern game enhancements in this. Played it once. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Singularity

Beat this in 1 sitting. Abosultely terrible. Review.

Gran Turismo 5

Controversial!

Winners will be announced December 29th. Did we leave anything out? What's your favorite? Leave a comment below!

Scott Pilgrim game got boring, lame and repititve fast, screw it.

I actually liked the concept of other M, the samus we all know and love is a silent killing machine, it showed us the side we didnt know she had, her emotions.but 80% of people hated that so yea. aaaaand the game freeze issue was fucking dumb.

Any game that sends you a letter apologizing for itself is a strong contender here. I mean, holy crap.

Thank you for your continued interest in and support of FINAL FANTASY XIV.

While more than two months have passed since the official launch of FINAL FANTASY XIV service, we deeply regret that the game has yet to achieve the level of enjoyability that FINAL FANTASY fans have come to expect from the franchise, and for this we offer our sincerest of apologies.

After thorough deliberation on how to meet those expectations, it was decided that the most viable step was to approach improvements under new leadership and with a restructured team.

To realize this vision, and in doing so, provide our customers with a better game experience, we have assembled our company’s top talent and resources. Taking over the role of producer and director is Naoki Yoshida, a passionate individual for whom customer satisfaction has always taken top priority. Not only is he one of our Group’s most accomplished and experienced members, Naoki Yoshida is also a charismatic leader possessing the skill to bring together and effectively helm a team which encompasses a wide range of responsibilities. We also welcome several new leaders handpicked from other projects to work with the existing talent on FINAL FANTASY XIV.

We realize time is of the essence and are fully determined to provide our customers with quality service. It is because of this that we ask our customers to be patient until we are able to confidently present them with a concrete plan outlining FINAL FANTASY XIV’s new direction. The free trial period will be extended until that time.

Regarding the PlayStation 3, it is not our wish to release a simple conversion of the Windows version in its current state, but rather an update that includes all the improvements we have planned. For that reason, we have made the difficult decision to delay the release of the PlayStation 3 version beyond the originally announced date of March 2011.

The FINAL FANTASY XIV team is working hard to bring our customers an unparalleled adventure, and we ask for your continued understanding and support as we march ever diligently towards that goal.

President and CEO, Yoichi Wada

You mean this letter?

From the list I only played MNC and Singularity. Both are decent games in my book. I'm going with Crackdown 2 cause I played the demo and it stunk.

That FF14 letter is one of the saddest things I've ever read in gaming history.
