4. Star Fox Adventures

This was Rare and Nintendo, the Nintendo 64 dream team, so expectations were through the roof. Being the UK developer's first GameCube game we wanted great visuals, the usual Rare humour and solid adventuring gameplay. We certainly got the great visuals (few Wii games look as good as this), but it seems Rare forgot about making the game enjoyable. Perhaps preoccupied by its pending sale to Microsoft, Star Fox Adventures will go down in history as one of gaming's great mysteries and for many marks the end of Rare's run of brilliant games. We think its 2008 line-up will have a thing or two to say about that.

3. Haze

It's hard to pin-point where Haze went wrong. The team behind the game is good, with a strong back catalogue of titles, the storyline sounded interesting and the PS3 had already proven itself to be capable of stunning next-gen visuals. So when Haze turned out to be a terribly generic, gung-ho, dated looking FPS with a play time of less than six hours, the disappointment amongst gamers was clear to see. Many had expected Haze to be one of the best shooters of 2008. It simply wasn't.
