    Thumbs down Games not to buy list.

    So lets use this thread to post games you have played and found to be so attrocious that you need to warn people not to buy it, whether it's buggy or just plain crap. Save us wasted money please .

    My first entry is PURE for PC, it has terrible loading issues that I can't explain and research shows that it's not an isolated incident. It gets so bad that after doing maybe three races the game will just freeze randomly at some point and you'll have to force the program closed.

    So to all PC users, AVOID PURE at all costs!

    Hey dude, I bought pure late last year/early in the year. It's an awesome game, and I finished it without hitches. Leaving the game dormant for some months, I was bored one day and reloaded it, and walla SUPER DUPER ULTRA LOAD TIMES.

    And this without any hardware /software changes to my machine appart from drivers.

    SO it worked perfectly for up to 2 months, then when I left it a while it started doing it. weird.

    As Isengard mentioned, its not isolated, and I can't find ANY info on how to rectify this, Doesn't really bother me that much though as I play 2-3 tracks in a month or so now.

    The game is wicked fun when it works I agree, but for me the fun got sucked right out of it solely because of it's technical issues. My advice, if you have a console then get it for your system.

    Bab Boys 2 game (worst game in history)
    Iron Man pc game (poor ps2 port instead of being a proper current gen console port)
    Beijng 2008 (a poor ps3/xbox360 port)
    resident evil 4 (great game but its a poor port of the ps2 version and no native mouse support instead of the great looking gamecube version)

    Gunman Chronicles
    The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring

    Stay far away from those two games.

    This is going to be controversial, but stay away from God of War 1 and 2 unless you are a hardcore gamer with nimble fingers and lightning reflexes.

    Your lack of talent with a controller doesnt make it a bad game
    You should also stay away from DMC3 and Ninja Gaiden series

    Add to that my lack of patience and perseverance.

    But moslty a lack of skill as demonstrated by my not making it past level 1.

    Call of duty : World at war. Now I know that omegafenix is going to flame me for this but it is true. I've played the single player and it is OK, not great, just OK. In terms of the multiplayer - there is just someone not right with the gameplay and I cannot put my finger on it. I have played every single COD in multiplayer and it must be said that WAW is by far the worst. I know its kinda old and MW2 is almost upon us,but I think that this should be on the list of games not to buy.
