As usual 1up, shitty list from 1up...

Alterd Beast was a great game and is still playable and fun unlike a lot of other early genesis games.

Clockwork Knight on the saturn was awesome and was better than such games as Golden Axe:the Duel.

Kameo: Elements of Power was good and better than a lot of 3rd party launch games like Gun and Need for Speed...

I can't argue for other systems as I don't own them but im sure they are wrong too.

Dreamcast and MK gold seems the only one that is right.

Waitaminute... Altered Beast and Kameo? Those guys are morons.

PDZ was a better launch title than Kameo? WTF are they smoking over there?

Terrible list.

Super Mario Land? Screw these guys. The purpose of crap lists like this is to cause controversy. Many of these games got good reviews when they launched. Were they wrong then, or are they wrong now?

Oy. I missed Super Mario Land. This list keeps getting worse and worse the more I look at it.

Super Mario Land? Sure the control is different than most other Mario games, but WTF.

Gradius III? Did they forget Final Fight was a launch title for the SNES?

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

I have to admit it, they're good. It does take real skill and effort to create a list this full of failure and suck.
