Because whilst gaming has exploded to lucrative highs that outmatch even Hollywood in pound-for-pound revenue, chances are you've got a handful of personal stories surrounding high-profile disappointments, titles that felt unfinished, missed opportunities or even outright cancellations.

Going forward it's clear that attitudes need to change in regards to turnaround, hype cycles, when games are first shown to the public and how much studios fall back on post-launch patches.
