Games Review 2010 - Part Three: The Ugly
___________________________________

With the Christmas and New Year bender now coming to a close it's time to look back on 2010 and the one game I felt deserved the title of "Ugly". The last two articles I've written have listed a number of titles and focused on the good and bad parts of each, this time I'll be going into a bit more detail as to why I think it deserves the title of the worst game of the year - in my humble opinion.

Nice article. Is it the flopping of this game that forced them into bankrupcy, then?

Yeah, i think its fair to say that had the game been a success then the company would have still been around. For how long? Hard to say but it certainly would have bought them some time.

On a related note though, it was nice to see the Creative Assembly guys (Total War) go to Dundee (HQ area of the APB devs) and have a recruitment day when everything went in the toilet. CA had just been awarded a new game with SEGA so went and tried to find suitable employees from those who had just lost their jobs. Nice

Nah, I kid, I kid.

Would be nice (next year) to have an extra part, the sexy, for yet to come games.

It was a very nice read.
