| starcraft said: @Grey. Depends if you consider shovelware to mean a bad game or a cheap to produce game. I think it means a bad game. For example, all XBLA games are cheap to produce, but i don't consider them to be bad games or shovelware. |
From wiki...
"The term "shovelware" has more recently been used in a more general sense by video game reviewers to indicate any product of disappointingly low quality due to a lack of time and effort by the developers."
Look around on the net and you'll see other sources using this same description.
A bad or flawed game is not necessarily shovelware. Most shovelware are poor or mediocre games though. The word "shovelware" explains itself pretty clearly: software being shoveled out the the door. Basically, games made quickly, cheaply, and with little or no concern for quality.
On a side note, reading the wiki page for "shovelware" was interesting. Pretty cool seeing how the original meaning differs from it's use today. 
"I feel like I could take on the whole Empire myself."
