Ok we have the best game of 2012 but I want to look at games that did not live up to the hype. Any takers My list Mazes and monsters(update could change that) Controls and long loading held back a promising Zelda clone. Flashout(update in works might change this if any better) Not great FPS and a "wipeout clone like everyone has done" just makes this average but not bad but right now not that great. Ill update as I think of more but feel free to add.
Tech demos don't count! DT is one of the best tech demos ever! Plus, it has a really fun casino where you win all the time! Does modern combat 4 have a casino? No!!!!!
It was good until updates forced it to hardly work (touch 4) Plus shadowgun was a crash fest wasn't it
Have to think on this one but... IB: Dungeons didn't live up to expectations - because it didn't come out!!!
Hell that's 5 plus games we wanted that stated they would be here: real racing 3, star command, oceanhorn and few others but when it happens it will be great.
Maybe zynga's better game but yea way overhyped. I think iPhone 5 support just got to it but look how long that took. They decided to do a "free sampler" before adding iPhone 5. Bad move.
I admit that it's cool, but overused environments, a confusing story, and freemium model implemented into a premium game really killed my desire to keep the game. I forced myself to complete the game and found it a waste of time.
They have a new games call Battlestone. Dont forget about it! http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=165320
Not out yet and who knows when it is releasing. Respawnables is decent but FPS is skippy a bit and has a paywall like all freemeium zynga games.
Pocket planes is good even a great way freemeium is to be done but it sort of gets boring unless you don't do the missions. Beat down had a big bug don't know if it does now that preventing beating a boss I believe. Random heroes was pretty boring not to mention had some faults in it. As for blade well its gamevil
I liked both but they got boring after while but they lasted way longer for being freemeium which with me is good because usually I deleted within a week.
