Having been an avid gamer for many a year now, i've been somewhat disappointed with the games that have been released recently. Games like Gun, Red Faction, final fantasy x2 and pretty much every film adadpted game that i have been excited about but have ended up feeling like they were either rushed or simply missing something.

And for me the key part of any game is a boss at the end or a level or stage, or a decent storyline, which for me simply have been missing from all these 'must have' games

it has pissed me off so many times to become so excited about a game that looks good and sounds good only to be let down by it either being too short or too easy (if anyone has played the zone of the enders they know what i mean )

there have been a few good games though over the last few years that have be original and worthwhile

xiii, killzone, ico and shadow of the colossus for me have been small step away from the repetition of the hitman's, the gran torismo's, the silent hill's and all the sport games that are practically the same apart from updated squads.

i've been hardly buying any games now because of the rubbish that is being released

so has anyone bought any game and felt like it was hardly worth the hype, or found a great game that had been hardly advertised at all?

I'm kinda hooked on Rouge Trooper, although annoyed they changed the names of the bio chips.

BF2 Euro forces, once I got it working mucho fun. I can't wait for Spore, looks really good. But AOE3 and Rise of Legends both sucked big time

God Of War. Got it ages ago and I'm still playing it.
Stunning visuals, good storyline and a brilliant combat system

Assasins Creed is gonna be amazing.

But my job is playing games, so I do it all day, 5 days a week, so I dont do it much any other time, and dont really buy any.

I have noticed a distince lack of exciting new games these past few years. I think the last one I got genuinely excited about was Rome: Total War.

I suppose I shouldn't complain though, the games I keep playing these days are sequels - Battlefield 2, CS: Source and Hearts of Iron 2. I'm looking forward to Spore and Medieval 2 this year though.

I completely agree, I've stopped buying games that I'm not 100% sure i'll like now... cos I end up wasting my money. I'm not totally sure it's the games getting worse or me thats getting less excitable but I can't remember the last time I got a game that kept me up all night playing though, like in my SNES days... probably Metal Gear 3, and that didn't take long to beat at all.

I'm quite impressed with Oblivion however.

Half Life 2: Episode 1 was released today, and so far its absolutely amazing. The scripted sequences merged seamlessly into the gameplay really give it an brilliant feel. In fact, i think ill go and play it now
