#17: Target Terror
Out of all the miserably bad video games on this list, Target Terror is almost worth playing just so you can experience the massive tub of whale excrement it is. With graphics that look like they're straight out of 1991, mind-numbing lightgun shooting gameplay, and cheesy actors running around on the screen pretending to get shot, Target Terror is a hands-down one of the worst things to be defecated onto the Wii. What kind of terrorists carry chainsaws anyway?
#16: Alone in the Dark
Within the first five minutes of booting up Atari's embarrassing attempt to resurrect the Alone in the Dark franchise, you'll realize what you've gotten yourself into. AITD gives new meaning to what a "bad video game" can be, and somehow achieves the antithesis of fun as seen in the opening level where you are forced to press a button every two seconds to blink in order to see anything in the game.
#15: Wii Music
There was a time when we believed that in order for a game to receive the official "Wii" brand in front of its name, it had to reach some level of quality. That notion was crushed immediately when Nintendo dumped out Wii Play. But even the abysmal Wii Play doesn't get close to how lame an experience Wii Music is. We can't see anyone having fun with Wii Music other than babies who like to bang on pots and pans to create primitive rhythms.
#14: Golden Axe: Beast Rider
A note to developers: if you're going to try to cash in on the success of ultra-gory action games like God of War, you're going to have to do more to make up for its dreary gameplay than just having a half-naked girl as the protagonist. Beast Rider is an especially sad entry in our round up of the foulest video game offerings of 2008 because it also soiled the good name of Golden Axe. Play the classic game and steer clear of Beast Rider.
#13: Castlevania Judgment
A fighting game that allows you to thrash an opponent as Simon Belmont, Dracula, and numerous other characters from the Castlevania universe might sound like a decent idea, but it made for one of the most shamefully sloppy fighting games ever created, and a complete bastardization of the Castlevania franchise. Skip it, even if you're a fan.
#12: Rock Revolution
You know those movies they have at Blockbuster Video like "Snakes on a Train" and "Alien vs. Hunter" that serve the sole purpose of tricking stupid people into renting them? Well, Rock Revolution is the video game equivalent. I can just picture the mom who buys this game now: "What's that game everyone likes, Rock and Roll Hero?"
#11: Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon
Talk about a series that went down the drain. The fourth game in the Destroy All Humans! series bombed hard, mainly due to the fact that it constantly hits you over the head with genuinely awful jokes that would make even Carrot Top cringe. Do yourself a favor and remember Destroy All Humans! for its vastly superior first two games.
#10: Pong Toss: Frat Party Games
Don't get me wrong. No one enjoys a good game of beer pong more than this editor, but when you eliminate the best part of the game (the liquidy reward), the game becomes absolutely worthless. Not only does Pong Toss: Frat Party Games fail to grasp why people play the game in the first place, they also don't include any of the flashing, furniture-burning, or fist-fights of real frat parties. Boo!
#9: Facebreaker
The direness of Facebreaker smacks you right in the mouth like a powerful right hook. The game is unsuccessful in attempting to capture the over-the-top boxing appeal of games like Punch-Out!! and Ready 2 Rumble and is easily one of the worst sports games of the year. Bring on Fight Night Round 4, dammit!
