From Xfire: “Video game launches aren’t always sunshine and rainbows. More often than not, a game launches only to be met with negative receptions from both fans and critics alike. This effectively condemns it to failure, even after what are sometimes multiple future attempts to fix and improve the game. However, while the gaming industry has seen its fair share of flops, some video games have managed to rise above it all.”
