    It looks like CJS is a common one. Also have seen Zenonia, Rolando, and Zen Bound mentioned more than once.

    I agree, with gangstar outshining even modern combat as lamest hyped game. Pile on the cheesy cliched gangsters essay!!!

    Kroll definately. Was showcased early in an Apple keynote but then ends up being short and mediocre in gameplay. Graphics were good though.

    Lion Pride, hyped up as the best line-drawing game since the genre debuted...but boring as sin.

    Wow, I can't believe that ZOMBIE MANSION hasn't been mentioned yet. Some newer iDevice owners won't be familiar with this one, it might even be the first TA debacle in which I recall massive anticipation and then utter failure.

    I cannot forget to mention Urban Tycoon. Not a grand ammount of hype, but the biggest sham in App Store history no less.

    I was gonna let Danny say Urban Tycoon seeing how he was probably the most pissed off of everyone back then.

    Are you guys insane? ASSASSINS CREED. such a bad game. all you do is jump and then spam the attack button about 3 times every 20 minutes. The game is 3 hours of jumping!!!!! The thing is people still think its good! Its incredible, it doesnt deserve the title of assassins creed.

    Anyone, i mean anyone, at all who says assassins creed deserves all the hype and the biased, POS reviews of Itunes can go stick their ipod up their ***.

    SimCity and Spore didn't work out that well either, I thought

    Yeah, at one time I was highly peeved by SC. EA has since seen the error of their ways, but I was HOT about buying that broken pile of manure and instead of updating it initially they just kept lowering the price.

    I don't have any probs with Spore, but then I've never played the pc version to compare.

    I'll go with HYBRID, gives me eyesores ,controls are not well implemented, and for an rpg i never feel any connection with my generic character.

    Warpack Grunts. They advertised it and everything on TA but the controls ruined what would of been a good game

    Hybrid
    Real Racing

    I loved Zenonia, but I can't stand hybrid. I had to force myself to play it, because I felt guilty for spending credits on it. I had to reward myself by playing hook champ during the beta testing, JUST to have the motivation to play it. I got stuck on some lvl 40 something, then deleted the game. Not a big fan of auto save. Plus I heard there was a lot of trouble with a lvl in the 40's.

    I loved Asphalt 4, but I just didn't get into real racing. I have respect for it, for sure, but none for Hybrid:/

    I still have real racing on my phone. I guess I'm hoping for some online play updates.

    for me...eliminate really fell through...i was waiting for months on end for this game...but the fact that in order to be good i have to buy energy cells. In my mind that is not a good marketing move by Namco.

    another game i really didnt care for was ttr3...i think had tapulous waited a couple of weeks until apple announced that free apps could have in-app purchases...they could have made their game free. I do like ttr3 better because some of the artists are well known like fall out boy

    canabalt fell through for me because of the lack of online highscores
