24. Spider-Man: Edge of Time

Played on: Xbox 360

While I think the game starts off strong and the story is actually pretty interesting, the gameplay and lack of polish with annoying glitches really disappointed me.

Final verdict: C+

In all seriousness, if metroid prime 4 beyond doesn't get released this year, it's not the end of the world. I've been waiting for this game since I was 18, and now im almost 27. A delay won't hurt if it doesn't come out this year.

Me after watching the trailer:
