    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.

    Hmmm. Dead Trigger comes to mind.
     
  3. 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!!!

    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.

    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.

    Ravensword 2, buggy, glitchy, and hard.
    but update might have changed that.

    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
     
  19. I just didn't enjoy Pocket Planes nearly as much as Tiny Tower.

    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.
