Past the Hype - Q2-4 2010

[Past the Hype focuses on the games that have been featured in the monthly The List, that failed miserably in reviews. Its my way of saying, sorry I as was sucked into thinking this game was going to be good.]

HAWX 2 
Ubisoft basically did nothing to improve this overly arcadie dogfighter game.  While there's a market for games like this, its really an insult to the Tom Clancy brand.

Arcania: Gothic 4
Just never lived up to the modern day expectations for a good RPG.  With so many games to choose from, this one is a pass.

Star Wars The Force Unleashed II
Repetitive button mashing, compiled with a storyline that fails to add to the great lore of its predecessor.   Basically an obvious money grab; typical Lucasarts.

World Golf (Hank Haney's) 2011
I had high hopes, for a golf game that didn't have Tiger Woods/EA name in it.  Something that would cater to the graphical power of the PC, a Crysis of Golf.  This game failed on those expectations.
