Disappointment isn&#8217;t an inherent quality. It can&#8217;t exist without some sort of expectation in the first place. In many cases, these games are sequels, or the creations of developers with proven track records, or entries in established genres.  But for various reasons, the central fact about these games is that I had hoped to like them better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>After the jump, I&#8217;m not mad&#8230;<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>10) Lego Lord of the Rings<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox\" rel=\"18598\" href=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Frodo_smash.jpg\"<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18600\" title=\"Frodo_smash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Frodo_smash.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a>As much as I like this game &#8212; it&#8217;s the Lego theme I&#8217;ve wanted as long as Traveler&#8217;s Tales has been making Lego games &#8212; I wish they would do something with the Lego license beyond expecting me to run around and smash everything in pursuit of collectibles with marginal gameplay implications.
