9 Over-Hyped Video Games You Were Always Going To Hate

6. Killzone

Here's an idea: If you're a newcomer, don't look to the biggest dog in the pound and brand yourself the "killer" of said leader if you've got nothing to offer.

To that end, Killzone was dead from day one. Branded the "Halo-killer" and set up to be Sony's answer to Bungie's mighty FPS over at Camp Xbox, the reality was that Killzone was about as enjoyable to play as it was to look at. And considering its colour palette consisted exclusively of greys and browns, it certainly wasn't a head-turner.

Sony clung onto the idea of Killzone being this formidable shooter for quite some time, only relinquishing developers Guerilla Games to make Horizon: Zero Dawn in 2011 - some seven years after the original released.

In that time, Killzone did about as much damage to Halo's reputation as a few bullets do Superman.
