Worst game you've ever played?

Yeah. Very repetitive. Poor controls involving me accidentally leaping to my death. Following people around the city is not enjoyable. Climbing all of those towers just to expand the map (again, this would be okay if there weren't SO MANY of them). It all just felt so artificial and bland. I got the game for less than 5 dollars on PC, and I would do anything to get those 5 dollars back. Still, not quite as bad as Heavy Rain, but I stopped playing games for a while after trying to get into all of these modern games that people rave about (Dragon Age, Witcher, Infamous, Heavy Rain, Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, etc.). I thought they were all awful, awful, boring, and vapid. It wasn't until I played Demon's Souls that my faith in gaming was restored. I am so grateful for that game/series. 

Demon's Souls for the win! Such an amazing experience. Souls series is definitely one of the happiest surprises of last gen.

And I totally agree about Assassin's Creed II. Ubisoft stuffed the sequel with so much STUFF. It ends up feeling like busy work. And Heavy Rain was disappointing too. Some of the puzzles are actually interesting, but often the game seems to be playing itself.

I guess that's why I liked it. First, I've been mildly obsessed with history since I was a kid and majored in it so just seeing the cities recreated and some warped versions of actual figures is pretty cool.

Otherwise, I loved all the puzzles from that "stuff" you mention; it was really fun 100%ing it to see what was revealed until I actually saw it and my fears were confirmed... Spoilers ahead:

It's a video of two people running about through a factory and at the end they refer to eachother as Adam and Eve. Basically, they used Sumerian mythology and, overall, just stole the entire premise of those Ancient Aliens people. I realize most of their stuff contradicts itself (not to mention is absurdly silly), so specifically the bit with aliens creating modern man in Sumer to work for them yada yada yada...

Needless to say I was a tad disappointed with that outcome. I imagine they must have changed it a bit since then as that's far too simple a story to stretch over so many installments.

*Edit* does [spoiler][/spoiler] not work here? Is there an alternative?
