As Kris D. mentioned in a previous post, games can be hard. Hard to the point where all the joy of playing them is sucked out. And sometimes that extends to games that are not even MMORPGs -- I'm talking about the games that hold such promise, and then they completely suck. I'm talking about the game you spent your hard earned cash on that turned out to be the worst thing you've ever played up to that point. I'm talking about the games that got good enough reviews, but for some reason or another it just didn't resonate with you. For me, that game was Ghostbusters. And Resistance 2. And Tekken Tag. And Halo 3. And several others collected in my 31 years of gaming. Sure, those games got positive reviews, but they just didn't resonate; and with the exception of Ghostbusters, I played the hell out of them. Why? Because I put down good money for those games, and they owed it to me to be enjoyable.
This is when games become work for me -- when the fun stops, and I have to force myself to keep playing and searching for that nugget of a decent game in the $60 pile of crap. I'm told that our viewership is up to somewhere around 4 people right now, and I'd like each of you to leave a comment, and tell me about a game that you should've loved, but ended up being work.
