Primotech has published their game of the year awards for 2007, and they list Hellgate London as their most disappointing game of 2007.

The details are as below:

Hellgate London is not a bad game, but it is the biggest disappointment of the year.

The title showed so much promise: it was to be the first major project from Flagship Studios, the newly created team staffed by high level ex-Blizzard employees. With a game this similar to Diablo created by the people who actually made Diablo, we can't help but make comparisons, and unfortunately, that's where Hellgate falls well short.

The game lacks the same addictive quality that made Diablo what it was. To top it all off, the fee structure is unusual, to say the least. Not only do players have to shell out full price for the game, but also need to pay a monthly fee if they don't want to be at a disadvantage when playing online.

And, if you were one of the unfortunate souls to have paid for all of that, your online character may have been suddenly wiped clean shortly after the game's release.

You'll notice that we haven't posted a review of the game. It's because none of us have been able to bring ourselves to play long enough to actually write one. Here's hoping that 2008 brings a better offering from Flagship.
