Epic Fail: Games that will Probably Suck

Our psychic skills tell us that these games are in grave danger. Beware.

Wii Music (releases Fall 2008)

Nintendo has come up with many phenomenal ideas but Wii Music is not one of them. It'll probably sell millions, but that doesn't mean it'll be fun. In the game, you take the Wii remote and nunchuk and move them like one of the game's 50 instruments, pretending to strum guitar, bang drums or tickle the piano keys. But aside from recreating songs, there's no reason to play. Forget about high scores and downloading new music. All you do is flail your arms around like an idiot in the hopes of recreating Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Really, Nintendo? Someone needs to tell Mario and Co. that kids are smarter than they look.

I can't believe they put BiA so low. Yes, yes it is about WWII, but there are people who enjoys those kind of games, including me. It may be a first person shooter about WWII, but controlling your own squad and able to flank the enemy soldiers? Last i heard, there isn't any games that allows you to do that.

Wow this was the most biased, crack headed, douche*** tainted article i've ever read. These people have no f***ing clue what makes a game good. Oh, BiA is WWII, it'll suck. Oh, all music games are ripping off Rock Band, which means they will suck. You people that wrote this need to actually rate games on greatness by how good the gameplay, story, graphics, and sound are, not on how "overdone" they are or if they are a "ripp-off of (insert previous game with the same formula)". Otherwise all games would be ripp-offs, you dumb***es

Hey now, it sounds like the guy writing this list hasn't even researched anything he's talking about! LittleBigPlanet will have tons of crappy user-created content, sure. So will Spore, and Halo, and whatever other game allows you to create levels or characters. Sonic Unleashed, yes. Looks crappy.. the werehog part, anyway... But Chronicles looks fantastic! I can't say anything about the storyline or characters, but the battle sequences look crazy fun. It's like a mix between the additions system of Legend of Dragoon and the rhythmic screen-tapping of Elite Beat Agents. I see much pain in my future however, as I have the big old DS, and that makes my hand ache after just a few races in Mario Kart. You just want us to hate you, don't you, GameDaily? Do you have chimps writing these craptastic articles just to piss us off?

it doesn't even say who wrote it (at least, not in a convenient place).

Oh. My. God. This is one of the most unintelligent articles I've ever seen. How can you say whether a game is gonna suck or not if you don't even know what it's about? Because if you did know, you'd actually put that into your mini article. Then you don't even give legitimate excuses for not liking the game. Plus, you say SONIC THE HEDGEHOG is going to fail? Psht. As if. It's been a classic for a looooong time. So next time, try to put a little thinking into it, kay? Simply bashing games no one has even played yet makes you look like an idiot. Nice try, but no. The only thing here that fails is the writer of this article.

i only have one thing to say, CALM DOWN. I do agree with the common sentiment that a lot of these games will not suck, but to say that the writer's claims are entirely groundless is shockingly stupid. A lack of GOOD content for little big planet is an OBVIOUS problem that the game will face since it relies on it heavily. As far as sonic goes, with such a bad track record how could anyone give an unbiased preview? Everyone who says something bad about it will do so most likely because of the many lackluster performances that sonic has had in the past (which is biased), and anyone who defends it will do so most likely because of rampant fanboyism (which is biased). As a proud wii owner, nintendo's performance at this year's e3 made me sick because it completely abandoned many of us hardcore gamers. So you can probably guess my opinion on wii music. I apologize for the rant but i can't believe how immature everyone is behaving especially since i know that most of you are probably older than me. A little constructive criticism and everyone goes ape****. I know that people are going to disagree with him, God knows that i do, but give the guy a break. He is only estimating the success of games that are far from release, and honestly I don't completely disagree with all of his claims.

Anyone who does not like the way Little Big Planet looks, is either a stupid FPS/ Sports game only player, who couldnt tell a **** from a hand bag, or is just a ps3 hater/xbox 360 fanboy.

OK that's it this will be the last time I read the reviews form this Person. He/She doesn't know what the heck is talking about. This person doesn't play games....You can tell. Its probably and old person that hated video games. If you want to read good reviews on games go to ign.com, gamepro.com, gamespot.com. There you can find good reviews on all games out now and coming out. 5 thumbs down AOL for this person that reviews games. You need to find a replacement.!!!
