    Bit.Trip Beat - totally boring one-sided pong.

    Angry Birds/Crush the Castle/Other clones - I just don't like the pull back and launch thing. It's never controlled right for me-- just feels clunky and awkward.

    Pocket Frogs or whatever... everybody I know loves it.

    Cannaballs, or whatever the hell that game is called. :rolleyes: Retro fetishists froth over that game like it's the 2nd coming of Christ when, in fact, most gamers couldn't care less about it.

    "Such beauty in simplicity! It makes me wonder about the back story!" Oh stop it... Robot Unicorn Attack, Monster Dash, Run Like Hell!, Solipskier, and especially Mirror's Edge, the game it shamelessly borrowed from, are all infinitely better.

    And another thing, I'm not too fond of the developer. He rarely updates or fixes his games, and he only shows up and promises updates when he has a new game coming out, or wants something. It has taken him over 3 month to address performance issues.

    I mostly hate games that are overrated or overhyped, not that I hate any games for existing in the store but some just get way too much praise for what they actually are.

    haha I was going to say Pocket Frogs but was scared I'd be attacked!

    But, as others have all said it, that means that not everyone loves it!?..:confused:

    +1 for Pocket Frogs too.

    Breeding and collecting frogs? For the first 2 hours I played the game, it already started feeling utterly pointless :eek:

    *runs faster*

    Doing nothing of importance.
    Somewhere
    Zen Bound. Stupid concept and everyone still seems to love it. I just don't get it.

    That said, I hate Angry Birds more than anything. It's not a bad game at all, but it's just so overhyped for such a mediocre game. There's far better games out there that deserve the credit, yet such a stupid game remains at the top of the charts for God knows how long.

    I never seemed to get it either. It was probably the most BORIIIIIINGGGG game that I have ever played. EVEEERRRRR!!!!!!

    I also HATE the game known as Flight Control. Didn't think it was anything special and even kinda bored me.

    Agreed-- any game with path drawing is really boring to me.

    I forgot to mention Minigore-- most overrated dual stick shooter ever.
