Games I wanted to like

A list of games (sometimes just the demos) that I wanted to like, but couldn't get into.

WET

1. WET

It made me want to play Max Payne again.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

2. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Maybe I just didn't play enough of it, but despite the size of the robits (God love Jon Voight; ever since the first movie, I can't think about transformers without hearing him talk about the "giant robits hidden in Hoover dam") I never really felt like I was, in fact, playing as a giant living machine. At least it was better than the first one.

Transformers: The Game

3. Transformers: The Game

Ick.

Half-Life 2

4. Half-Life 2

Maybe it I had played the first one, or played this one a few years earlier, it would work better. Or if I really liked FPS games to begin with.

Prince of Persia

5. Prince of Persia

I liked the animation, and the mechanics were better than previous games, but I somehow managed to loose interest in this one. Maybe the flying levels contributed to that more than I realized at the time.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

6. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Ultimate Spider-Man

7. Ultimate Spider-Man

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows

8. Spider-Man: Web of Shadows

Specifically the PSP version; it was a really really nicely done (mostly)side scrolling game. When you're expecting a somewhat free-roaming adventure though, good looking side scrolling doesn't really do the trick

Assassin's Creed

9. Assassin's Creed

the controls never felt right on this.

Halo 3

10. Halo 3

Maybe I just came into the series too late, but this wasn't the game to get me hooked on FPS after being away for many many years.
