GamerChips Christmas Fail List

September 09, 2008 in Blog comments 14

Christmas is almost around the corner, and as with every Christmas, the best games are looking to be released in time for parents to go out and buy their kids games. However, GamerChip who previously stated that there may be too many games being released for christmas, have now put together a list of games that they think will succeed and some that they believe will fail. Lets take a look at a few of them...

The drought has officially broken for gamers. This upcoming Christmas is set to be one of heartbreak for many as tough decisions are made as to which titles will make it into the collection and which will have to wait or become a weekend rental.

Someone has to do it as friends and relatives will be soon asking what we want for Christmas. And so as not to disappoint them, this list has been developed to give you the games that will make it, and those that will fail (probably...).

    It really will be a tough year to decide, but shit I'm not even interested in half the games they are listing in Fail or Win.

    Weren't a lot of people looking forward to Mirrors Edge? What happened to put it in the fail list?

        Wondering that myself too. I thought it seemed like a great concept and all when I read about it.

    There's lots to argue. I don't agree most of the list especially Saints Row 2.

      Hmm..


      I agree with some, like Little Big Planet, Fallout, DeadSpace, Resistance, Gears 2, Warhammer, Starwars, and Silent Hill but the rest are iffy for me.

    List is very debatable, that is to be sure, but I can see the points they are trying to make (esp. about Mirror's Edge).

    Surprised they mentioned Fracture. I've been a bit interested in this, but haven't heard much either.

    Spore and Bioshock for the PS3 are fails?

    Wha?

      Well, I think Spore comes about because of EA's evil DRM and som rather shallow gameplay in some of the early stages of the game. To be honest I'm loving it but I was really expecting a bit more. Especially in the early part of the game.

      I was a bit disappointed to realize I got to the space stage in about 6 hours. I had really hoped it would take me days if not weeks to get my creature to that point.

      But frankly the whole list is crap. They give very few if any reasons for the games placement on either list. And what reasons they do give are nonsensitical.

    I must say that I highly disagree with Bioshock for the PS3 failing. It was a hit on the XBOX360 and that momentum should help it sell some more.

    And Saints Row 2 a failure? I sure hope they would have added GTAIV to the Super Fail list if SR2 is in the fail list... it HAS to be better than GTAIV. (My opinion entirely)

      Anything is possible Krunal, so I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up being hyped up too much and not delivering. Again, im not saying I want them to fail, just saying I wouldn't be surprised.

    Thank you, GamerChip, for trying to force your terribly insignificant opinions on the rest of us.

    Since when is Christmas just around the corner when it's only September?

    Lists like these are always so opinionated. These people only think of themselves and not the community in general. If you call 11,365,850 creations on Spore "Fail" you need to re-evaluate your Journalism skills.

      Well, loads of people buy their presents early (sometimes months in advance).

      OHHH, that totally reminds me, I better start saving up for boxing week sales >_< And nuts, I have a job now, I guess I'll be expected to buy presents to buy for people other than me >_>
