Now that I Hate This Game is live, I need some help putting up rage targets. I figured, "Hey, I know a bunch of people who could rant about games all day!" So, I am turning to you for some help getting the first 100 games or so categories, images found, and typed up.

It doesn't require a lot of effort, but here's what I'd need:

An image for the game. (Box art and logos work well)
A short, 2-3 sentence summary of the game and few major things "wrong" with it*
What major category it should be posted under

Some FAQ's about the content:

The site is platform agnostic. Sure, there may be specific things wrong with the xbox version of a game, or the PC version may be a poorly adapted console version, etc, but the site will make no distinction between platforms. Not for right now anyway.
* The BF2 page is my current example of this. It introduces the game quickly for some context and lists one of the horrible things about the game to put the user in the right mindset.
More here, should I think of them...

If you're willing to help out, you can use this thread to post any submissions you'd like to make. Just make a quick post about what game/games you plan to cover so people don't do double work

I'm also open to suggestions and fixes for the site itself.

Thanks everyone!

Mafia II.

Mafia game based in the 1940's-1950's that follows the main character Vito Scaletta through his post-war life in the mob.

An open world game that doesn't know it's open world. A complete lack of things to do, a very unoriginal story which pretty much followed Goodfellas for the entire middle part, and paid DLC which should've been included with the game.

(this good?)

Pretty much. 2 things:

- I edited out the XBOX from the image
- I looked up the category (action/adventure) and added that

Otherwise, that's pretty much it.

Bad Company 2 (FPS)

BC2 is a first person shooter based on modern combat.

Broken friends list, over powered anti tank weapons, squads full of snipers, "VIP Map Packs" that are simply existing maps with different game modes and gameplay almost identical to that of Modern Warfare 2.

You've still not spelt disgusting correctly.

Also the fact that it takes like 10 shots to kill anything.

The single player campaign is short, unlike its predecessor you only get the Terran campaign.
Multi player does not resemble single player, makes it hard to practice and prepare for when you have to qualify
