12 Video Games PlayStation Sent Out To Die

12. Haze - PS3

One of the most dangerous things that any gaming studio can do to an upcoming title is oversell it. Instead of letting Haze speak for itself, Ubisoft's first-person shooter was labelled as a "Halo-killer", giving it absolutely massive shoes to fill. Because of how much effort the company was putting into its marketing, it really looked like Ubisoft was confident Haze would give Microsoft's crown jewel a run for its money.

But not only did Haze fall short, it was an all-round dumpster fire. There are so many things wrong with this tripe, it would take less time detailing its positive qualities.

It suffers from idiotic AI, glitch-riddled gameplay, a microscopically-sized campaign mode, blurry visuals, a barren multiplayer, an incoherent plot, jittery animations, whiny characters and dire combat mechanics. (That's probably not everything.)

Even though it unabashedly rips off key elements from Halo, Haze has no problem stealing elements from Quake, Condemned 2, Crisis, Far Cry, and other games dramatically better than this abomination.

The only thing this supposed Halo-killer managed to kill was any chance Haze had of launching a franchise.
