TGS picks five games released in 2009 that looked good but don't ultimately deserve your hard earned gaming money. A recommendation of games you should avoid.

Games are expensive and time consuming. As a consumer you deserve the best for the money you work so hard for—especially in the current economic climate. With that in mind, I have compiled a short list of games that looked promising and generated a lot of gamer attention, but ultimately proved unworthy of your cash. I’m not saying that the titles selected are horrible, because many of these games have garnered a loyal fan base and do offer a good time. Instead, the point of the article is to illustrate that although the games selected look interesting, the average gamer with the average gaming budget may wish to look elsewhere to get the most for his or her money.

      I wouldn't say it was a disappointment but it sure as hell didn't live up to any expectations I had of it, mainly because I didn't expect much out of it, mainly because I already anticipated a prettier version of RE4 and nothing else.

    The Lord of the Rings: Conquest was such a bummer for me. I was so happy and excited for its release and was just not impressed at all with it.

    LOL omg I totally forgot I had Afro Samurai until I read this article. I've played it maybe twice since I got it and it's been sitting on my shelf ever since. It's not *that* huge of a disappointment but gameplay is just tedious, animations and artwork are pretty cool.

    I DID like Afro Samurai demo though. I am a bit interested in the DLC for Fallout 3, but meh....I haven't even played Fallout 3 in ages >_>

    Hmm... well, Legends of Wrestlemania is a huge disappointment in my book.

    Other then that, I've been pretty impressed this year thus far.
