Deadly Premonition.

Good grief, it made me nauseous just playing it. The controls, the pacing, the combat, the story, the graphics, everything about it was so utterly awful it was like they set out to make the worst game possible.

I love the story and dialogue in that game. The controls felt fine and I could tolerate PS2 quality graphics, but the pacing was very bad.

As they say, different strokes for different folks. ;)



Dungeon Siege 3 was pretty awful. I would get bored to tears and sleepy every time I tried playing it.

Sonic '06 seemed like a potentially good game and I some fun with it, but I couldn't get past the bugs and long load times.

Those are the only games that come to mind for be noteworthily bad.

Ride to Hell: Retribution was a misunderstood work of art. It is shit now but in a few years it will be appreciated as the work of art it is.


it will be the video game equaivent to the room i take it



I can't believe that nobody said Postal 3 yet.

But even then, anything by Data Design Interactive must be the victor. Or loser.

Oh God sonic 06 hands down. It's so bad, that it goes from bad, to good because it's that bad, and then back to bad again.

From just what I played:

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (Wii) - This was a launch game for the Wii. I guess the base game was exactly what was to be expected. But it also had a bunch of mini-games. And boy, did those suck. They were pretty broken. Much better to just play Wii Sports and Wii Play if you wanted good mini-games.

Disney Epic Mickey (Wii) - This game did one thing well. That one thing was fan service. It completely failed as a platformer. The jumping felt sloppy, and there really weren't many areas where there was fun jumping to be had. I found myself routinely needing to paint or thin something below me, only to have the platform I was standing on block my spray. Combat was pretty lame, and most enemies posed zero threat. The game was glitchy as hell, and I died several times by falling through platforms. Worst of all, pretty much the entire game acts as a point of no return. You want to see everything this game has to offer? Then you have to play it three times. Ugh. Most damning of all, my 9 year old niece played it for only 30 minutes, and was done with it.

Cursed Mountain (Wii) - Yeah, I know you specifically said we couldn't say this game. Too bad. I am saying it anyway. I realize this game is supposed to have a slow, deliberate pacing, but this is just ridiculous. Running in this game is slower than walking in most others. This game should have started out a lot quicker, and slowed down as you moved higher up the mountain. I will admit, there are two really amazing levels, but the rest of the game is bland and straight forward. The ghosts announce themselves with a mini cut-scene every time, so there is no surprise. Combat is lame. You have what amounts to a magic wand which either acts like a pistol, rifle, or shotgun. Real original.

Duke Nukem Forever.



I'd rather try and force my own excrement into my 360 and play it. It's literally that shit.

Not as bad as critics and people make it out to be.  Most people that say the game is the worst game ever probably haven't played it.  It's not that great, but decent.

I'd vote for Castlevania on 360/PS3, and Duke Nukem was a real bust.

Lords of Shadow, is an amazing game.  But everyone has their opinion.

Anyway ... from what I own, which is a lot, I'd say RAGE. Fuck that game ....

Was supposed to be the best FPS and I dunno, the game just played like ass to me.  I played it two hours before I quit.  I did have fun driving around on the vehicle I had, but when doing anything else, didn't have fun at all.



Thought about it a little bit.  Worst game I've played this gen is Front Mission Evolved. They should have named it Front Mission Devolved.  I don't dislike it because it's not an TRPG, because I'm a fan of Armored Core and used to like playing the Mechwarrior games, it's just a really bad game.

While I wouldn't call it the gen's worst, Cursed Mountain was pretty awful, yeah. Such a great concept, such horrible execution.
