Every week the hosts of TalkRadar present and answer a new "Question of the Week" - a personal inquiry which unearths some of our deepest, and sometimes most sinister, gaming memories. Everyone is encouraged to answer each week's question, so go ahead, tell us your most glorious, nostalgic, or shameful story!

Last week's question:

What superhero game disappointed you the most?

As always, thanks to everyone who participated! I think I can safely say that Superman 64 recieved the brunt of the bitching (and for good reason).

Below are a few of last week's answers that tickled our collective fancies, but since we can't feature them all here, check out last week's article and forum thread for more...

"BATMAN BEGINS. That got me excited, Splinter Cell-esque gameplay with the Batman mythos. Then they added in Burnout gameplay, and that was cool. Then I got it, and it was buggy. Nothing meshed together; all not helped by bland enviroments and textures. Combat wa sslow and clunky. Plus I played it on all three due to a freak accident, this included the Gamecube version *shudders*"

"To anyone that says Superman 64, come ON! That's like everyone's favorite punching bag, and it's getting stale. At least in that game it TRIED to give you the sense of what it's like to be Superman. It failed, but it tried. You want to know what game failed at even that basic premiss? Spawn: The Eternal for the PSOne "

"Do you see a cape? I sure as hell don't. Chains? Nope. Anything at all that would suggest this isn't a game about a damned cos-player? Hell no. This game was bullshit, and I'm actually embarrassed to even admit I ever played it"

"Batman Begins. I hate that game. You climb out a window, if you go up, you get shot to death, if you go down, you fall to your death."

"Spider-Man: Web of Fire (no, not Web of Shadows) for the 32X. It was literally the ONE GAME I bought the 32X add-on for. Seriously, on paper it looked great: beautiful graphics, and 3D effects (on the Genesis??). But in play, it was a middling side-scroller with zero hit detection."
