B& W was ok... Pool of Radiance would have to by my most anticipated, most dissapointing game of all time. I labourer on thinking it will get better, it will get better... but it didn't.

Black and White. The hype on that game was sooo huge, it had to be a failure. And it was. If it had come from nowhere, it would have taken me by surprise, but as it was... Nah...

The Sims, Pool of Radiance, Neverwinter Nights, and Dungeon Seige all stink.

Daikatana came to mind but that was rather overhyped then overrated. Black and White is a good choice as is Dungeon Siege.

Certainly the biggest disappointment of my gaming career, but I don't know that anyone ever rated it as anything other than a stinker...

Pools of Radiance 2 probably should have been a poll option, although I still would have stuck with my vote for B&W.

Worst game i ever did see was a Speccy game called Kong by a company called Control technology in UK...

Controls didn't work properly, graphics were messed up, speed was very variable, colours clashed, colision detection was non-existent, the tape they recorded the game on had dropouts on it, it cost me 5 pounds!
Apart from that it was abysmal!

Very obscure i know..but it still urks me i wasted 5 Pounds!

Peace and goodwill everyone.

I would also have voted Morrowind, but now it wasn't in the list, so I'd say, Dungeon Siege.

B&W was actually fun, untill I got frustrated at those villagers. So now I'm waiting for B&W 2 wich will be diferent, I think.
