10. Age of Conan (PC)Fable is the #1 Xbox 360 Game, Wrath of the Lich King is the top PC expansion, Fallout 3 is #4 multi-platform.
MMO fans tired of World of Warcraft had high hopes for this so-called WoW-killer. So it's too bad that its developer vastly overestimated its own capabilities. Though Conan had great ideas, like the innovative combat system, Funcom shipped the game months before it had ironed out the most glaring bugs or added enough content. Devotees who had spent months poring over every screenshot and snippet of information prior to release found the resulting product to be an utter mess. Earnest Cavalli
4. Fallout 3 (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC)
Though it may never live up to the ruby-tinted expectations of longtime Fallout fans, Fallout 3 successfully balanced the immense, open-world scope of Oblivion with the series' trademark bleak dystopian future. More importantly, it offered more content than any one gamer could ever experience and an enjoyable route through the story for players of all kinds. -- Earnest Cavalli
