Master of Orion III (The AI changes everything you do every turn)

Reach for the Stars (Simply Boring)

Axis & Allies (too buggy and no patch)

And one recent addition.

Civilization IV.

Other the new unit promotion system and the Civics (replacing the gov't types), it's just a super-modified version of Civ III.

In fact, I've got some time ... excuse me, I've got a project.

I can contribute a lot to this thread...
Hearts of Iron for the PC...most boring strategy game ever
Ninja Gaiden....you can't copy your game to another xbox if the xbox DVD drive dies as i discovered on level 15
Battlefield 2....don't expect to play it with SLI Nvidia graphics if you buy it
Jedi Starfighter...so many bugs in this game I couldn't even get past level 3

Quake 4 - No bots in multi-player mode. Single Player is another, "I can't see anything fumble with my flashlight FPS. Not enough multi-player levels. Overall it's better graphically, but leaves me wondering where the rest of the game is. Not worth $50

Civ 4 - Another regret. It's Civ3 with an updated 3d Graphics engine. Also they added a ridiculous amount of depth that doesn't do anything. I know that doesn't make sense, but if you play it you'll understand.

Original Civs:
Archer - 3 attack, 1 defend, 1 mov
New CivL
Archer - 5 defend, 3 attack, 1 mov, +50% def while in a town, first-strike, veteran with +25% Defense if in trees, -25% Defense if the moon phase is opposite of your state religion, unless your Islamic in which case you get a +50% Attack if you are on the same square as a Knight named John and you have researched Ironworking. If you have 3 archers on the same square you are now granted the ability to tactical nuke your opponent if he is christian and is allied with the french, but only if the french have researched physics and have spices.

ummm... k... *places archer unit in town, hits DEFEND, never clicks on it again.*

Also they tell you the best move in every situation, it's got a blue, "Click here you retard" circle around the correct answer, so the game is pretty much, click what the computer tells you to and you'll win. wooo friggin hoo...

City of Villains - *Shoots self in face* CoH was fun in a dorky sort of way, CoV is the exact same game with different outfits.

Some Dracula game for the PC. I don't remember the name because it was so horrible that I blocked it from my memory.

Wow. Thanks for the headsup about Civ 4. I love the 3rd and was going to pick up the 4th over break, but the way you guys describe it was pretty much what i was worried about... Lets see..

Suikoden 3&4.

Summoner

MGS Snake Eater (Great premise, just not fun to actually do, or I couldnt get into it.)

Umm... You know, this list could go on for days, but I typically just disregard a game if I get it and dont like it, and Im not with my games, so I cant really think up much.

Counter strike - There are no casual players on it, I log on, get killed, wait, respawn, get killed, wait, respawn, get killed et.c.

Prince of Persia, warrior within - I liked sands of time, but warrior within has cheezy goffic music and the reason I never played tomb raider: getting lost is part of the challenge. I got lost, quit, never played it again.

A Boy and His Blob.

I agree, a boy and his blob was a crock. The only way to beat it was if you knew EXACTLY which bean to feed him each time because you got the EXACT number of beans you needed to beat the game :nonono:

For me...Fester's Quest :nonono: How could they sell a game that you can't beat?! :P

Yup, it's SO hard. The only way I beat it was with Game Genie :p

Heh...I never felt like I was accomplishing anything while playing it or any other game by that company. I'd buy this, change that, make this, and I never felt like I was making any substantive difference.

I think I'd appreciate the game more if it were turn based instead of timed.

it IS turned based.
1 turn per day.
and a playing period of 4 centuries.

One Must Fall: Battlegrounds

Actually might have been a cool game... but it only works like like 3 video cards or something like that, and of course the one I haven isn't one of them, and they don't tell you that on on the box...

Tomb Raider: Dark Angel. (It still holds the record for shortest time on my disk drive: 1 hour. And that was only because of the audio problem.)

Any Turok game after the original.
