Here are some examples:

* Super Mario Bros. (May 28, 1993) - CRAP
* Double Dragon (November 4, 1994) - CRAP
* Street Fighter (December 23, 1994) - CRAP
* Mortal Kombat (August 18, 1995) - CRAP
* Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (November 21, 1997) - CRAP
* Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (June 15, 2001) - OK
* Resident Evil (March 15, 2002) - CRAP
* Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (July 25, 2003) - OK
* House of the Dead (October 10, 2003) - CRAP
* Resident Evil: Apocalypse (September 10, 2004) - CRAP
* Doom (October 21, 2005) - HUGE PIECE OF CRAP
* BloodRayne (January 6, 2006) - Was this piece of crap even in the theaters for more than a week?!
* Silent Hill (April 21, 2006 - CRAP
* Dead or Alive (September 15, 2006) - CRAP
* Resident Evil: Extinction (September 21, 2007) - CRAP
* Hitman (November 21, 2007) - CRAP
* In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (January 11, 2008) - CRAP
* Far Cry (October 2, 2008) - Probably Crap
* Max Payne (October 16, 2008) - And.....CRAP. Surprise, surprise....
