So what's the absolute worst 3 games you have seen or played this year?

Normally obviously it would only make sense to make a statement about a game once you have played it, but most of us would probably avoid crappy games given the choice. That is why seeing is also an option in this case to make a comment. To me personally, several games stood out as utter mess among all the releases of 2012. They are as follows and why:

3) Dragonball Z Kinect: This game is on the list because I actually cared for it. I WANTED so bad for this game to be good, but having played DBZ BT3 on the Wii, I knew there would need to be a miracle for this game to actually deliver on its promise. And as expected its bad, just so horribly bad. The graphics are pretty much a copy-paste from Ultimate Tenkaichi, the character count is small compared to previous games, there are very few game modes, and above all the gameplay just flat out sucks.

2) Call of Duty Declassified: I seriously don't understand why Nihillistic software makes all these FPS games for the Vita. Why not hand it in to someone more capable, if not the original developers like Treyarch/IW? This game was one reason I actually thought having a Vita would be cool because I'm a huge COD fan and taking COD on the go would be frikin crazy. But this game is now the reason I've pretty much lost hope in the Vita. Ironic. Good thing there is one shining light at the end of this dark tunnel: Persona 4 Golden, which is my new reason to get a Vita someday.

1) Steel Batallion: I'm going to confess a secret to everyone. A deep and dark secret that I've kept hidden for years. When I bought the 360 about 3 years ago, the main reason I bought it over the PS3 was because the 360 was getting Natal (as it was so called back then) and the PS3 was getting copy-pasta Wii motion control tech that I already had. Yes I chose the 360 over PS3 for Kinect (I was young and the young are fools), and having gotten the PS3 recently I realised I could have had an experience that is much more tailored to my needs, and missed out on a crap ton of great exclusive games. This unplayable mess along with all the horrendous Kinect games that come out is just like rubbing Sodium Chloride on an open wound which my platelets can never get to, and it doesn't feel good at all.
