I can't believe no one mentioned AQUANOX!!! Terrible game, great graphics.

Ah, I forgot about that one. I remember all the hype, and I *knew* it was going to suck... but the graphics were undeniably good for its time. I remember my friend buying a new computer just around the time it came out and I was just loving how Aquanox looked on his rig.

Cough :p One more Battlefield Vietnam boy it looked nice and it had that thing where you could play music whenever you were in a car or something. I loved that but the game overall was just not that great

Wow, i dont know why you would put those on the list. The Barbie games are on sale this week by the way, they might be better then those you mentioned. For me i would have to say Sim City 4, I thought the graphics were sweet but it wasn't that good

Ya, i'm so sure this guy puts the three LEADING releases. You're full of sh!t buddy, stop trying to **** people off.

I'd have to say, For me, I'm going to contradict myself, but I'm just not feeling the Quake 4 SP at this point, the MP is just eating me up though. I love it, it's incredible, and graphcially, well I've had problems like MANY people I've talked to (Hi! #quake4 efnet) with the same problems, so it's a little bit of a compromise graphically as well.

One day we'll all be running it faster I suppose :)

But anyway, that's my take

Yes, I'm afraid a lot of the posts on here are from people that must just suck at good games.

My pick would be:

The Bouncer (PS2) - looked great and really "next gen" at the time as a launch game for the PS2, but lacked anything beyond looks.

Some of Farcry was bad, but it was graphically amazing, but all the Farcry sequals suck.

What Farcry sequels, didn't know there were any.

Deus Ex + System Shock2 are 2 of the best games I've played.

Daikatana was crap, and the demo for Project Snowblind put me right off.

HL: 1 was much better than HL:2

CS: S is still very buggy, and requires mods to change your player skin (CS: CZ and 1.6 both have this feature built in) They pushed the game out before it was ready, and it is not as good because of that

DOD : S (I never liked the original, this is no different)

Doom III seemed very repetitive

Quake IV has great Multi-Player, but the Single player is very lacking

Quake 4

Completely disagree. It takes a little while to get into this game but it really is good. The graphics are amazing and the gameply is great, although I admit its not up to half life 2's standard.

Doom 3 was a game that had good graphics but sucked. When I had my fx5200 i played very little of it. When I got my 6600gt I played loads because the graphics looked amazing, but when I think about it now, the gameplay sucked.
