Here are ten games that got cancelled that we were really rather sad about.

Call of Cthulhu: Destiny\'s End

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is one of the most underrated horror games ever made, and a sequel got pretty far down the development line before getting canned. Though the original failed to garner all that much profit, the idea of a two player co-op survival horror that, based on its predecessor’s quality, would actually be quite scary seems like a winning formula. If only this one got a chance to show the world how fun multiplayer psychological thrillers could be.
