Asteroids -- Atari/Activision

R.I.P.
And then there was was Asteroids. Wait, Asteroids you ask? How can you go wrong with that title? Easy, they forgot to include the game play with the game... completely. See, the reason this game was so popular was because it was lightning fast, and both simple and complicated depending on what you wanted out of it. This new one is absolutely beautiful to look at, but the game play was garbage. At the top of the list was the fact that the ship was ridiculously slow to rotate. Ship physics bit... oh the list goes on. Professional opinion, skip'it.
