Killer 7

If you've ever seen Jessica Simpson attempt to do a load of laundry, you know the pain of seeing something beautiful move so awkwardly that it becomes ugly. If not, you can get the same sensation playing Killer 7. While it has an amazing cell-shaded, anime-influenced look that’s both stylish and striking, it also has totally unnatural and unnecessarily complicated controls that make it impossible to play. Don't toy with it for more than a couple of minutes unless you want to get continually frustrated—and murdered—after each move. What's more shameful is that the game’s premise is as innovative—and subsequently wasted—as its graphics: you’ve got split personalities, and all seven are trained assassins with different skills. Too bad the game makes using those skills so difficult, leaving you feeling as helpless and confused as Jessica on a grass stain.
