"Star Trek: The Videogame, as it's so enigmatically titled, is a steaming turd dropped from the ugliest bumhole in the world. It is a quite exceptionally terrible game, from its numbingly dreary repetition, useless broken AI, archaic combat, clumsy construction, and utter nothingness story."
Ouch. That just sounds terrible.
I had little interest in this game to begin with, and now that interest has just dropped to negative values. Seriously, who the hell thought a Star Trek-based cover-shooter would be a good idea? o_O I mean, even if such a thing were done well, it still wouldn't appeal to me much at all.
(EDIT)
Also, this (which was linked to in the RPS article above):
Seriously, video game developers/publishers, stop trying to put up ratings for your own game on Metacritic or talk it up like you're just an anonymous member of the general public on forums and such. You're going to get caught, and when you do get caught, it's just going to make you and your game look that much worse. Though, in this case, I suppose it's not really possible for it to look much worse, even taking this into account.
Let the above be a lesson to anyone reading this: don't buy games at launch. Like, ever. As for me, I didn't need this lesson, as I'd already been burned too many times before.

Oh, and here's a Forbes article about it: "Paramount said it had taken three years to develop this game. But what we received was so buggy it was a veritable roach motel."
