Have you ever found some character taunts during life-or-death battles to be a bit strange? Then check these ones out...
It's funny how the games business works. Big
successes become popular franchises, we keep buying 'em because they keep
getting better, and developers keep churning 'em out. Later, we'll complain
about Call of Duty being the same stupid thing, buy it, verify our complaint,
and keep the cycle strong. What about the stuff that doesn't review well, though,
or doesn't sell, or doesn't quite live up to the hype? Those games are usually
left for dead, and an original IP hoping to make its big break becomes a
one-shot failure.
Aren't these the games we should
see sequels to? Disappointing games are the ones that need the most improving,
and are the games that'd benefit the most from a second chance. Remember,
Assassin's Creed eventually became Assassin's Creed II. We'd love to see some
of this generation's biggest bummers – even if they had a lot going for them –
take off bigger than they have...

Brother versus brother, fanboy versus fanboy...
You’d think that games based around superheroes would be the ultimate expression of incredible powers. Nope. Unfortunately, most superhero tie-ins have had more tedious tasks than chances to protect the planet
Comic books have been crossing over into games since 1978, and are more a part than ever. See the decades long history here...
The tragic flip-side of increasingly ambitious video game narrative is when for whatever reason (more often than not an MIA sequel) an otherwise brilliant and rewarding story goes unfinished. So we've decided to help. We've decided to get you some closure by working out how nine of these unfortunately in-limbo tales should have ended. We've even done pictures to help you imagine.
