I liked FC2 right until the time I realised how badly broken the militia checkpoints were; that mechanic alone ruined the game for me.

Looks like I'm not the only disappointed with spore.
Kinect is just plain kak. I tried it with a few different games and it just doesn't seem very good at picking up movement with any accuracy.
The Move is way better in terms of getting it to do exactly what you want, but then again you're forced to dance around with what is ostensibly a large, glowing dildo.
Farcry 2 was so so terrible. I hated it so much.
I own(ed) Far Cry 2. Love it even. But having to pop pills or die ... Or checkpoints resetting enemy AI every 5 minutes was a MAJOR pain.
Also, Emptying an entire clip into an enemy (headshots) before he dies was just the cherry on the cake :(
Good to know. I remember that some people favoured the Kinect over the Move because you had no need for controls in hand, which is why I was surprised to find kinect on the list.
I am however very happy with the PS Move. I just need to get more games designed for it. Would have been great if they made the Uncharted series compatible with it cause the PS3 controller is a bitch to get used to (coming from a Mouse + Keyboard background).

Peter Molynuex : "It's definitely not on rails"
Game arrives
It's on-rails.
...and no-one was surprised.
Add another one to the 'far, far, far worse with kinect' pile. Like the review says, kinect is still just a tech demo which only basically works for one type of game, the dance/party game. That's isn't really something that a company should be promoting so heavily as to be almost the definition of their console experience. As for the rest of the list a totally agree with all those games being disappointments, although I might add Rage to the list, at least personally I had high hopes for the game.
I agree with everything except Far Cry 2. The checkpoints were annoying sure but the game wasn't a let down, I think every reviewer loved it at the time too.
Had many a good LAN with it. ah LAN's......
I know Diablo 3 is still a good game, but wasn't anybody also just a bit disappointed with it? Played it for 1 month and then just not so much anymore.. Diablo 2 I still played till last year in comparison "whistling:
