    I was kind of expecting pacman for atari with the whole bringing the arcade to your living room idea.

    I've played lair and advent, and I agree: they were horrible. Lair could have been awesome too, such a pity.

    I have to echo the Too Human comments. How did Shenmue make this list and Too Human didn't?? Jesus, all unsold copies of this game were ordered to be destroyed by the US court! Also, I seriously doubt DNF could be considered a flop. When Gearbox got a hold of it they obviously cranked it out with minimal costs and people who have more money than brains ignored reviews and invested heavily in the normal edition or the ridiculous "Balls of Steel" edition.

    I guess Shenmue would be considered a flop saleswise, but it doesn't really fit in with the theme of games that weren't as good as expected, or really sucked, like the others.

    switch Shenmue with Too Human, then your list is accurate.

    No Vita?

    Surprised that Kingdoms of Amalur didn't show up.

    Kingdoms of Amalur was actually a commercial success.

    agreed

    Where's Too Human on this list?
