Worst Games Of The Year

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 09:32:00 -0800

The end of the year means two things: Mawkish holiday versions of your favorite TV shows, and everyone making lists of the best __BLANKS__ of the year. Today's list is a refreshing change. Instead of the best games of 2007, blog Gemaga has compiled a list of the lowest rated games of the last year. These are the very bottom of the barrel, games that score sub-three levels on review compiler gamerankings.com. Truly, horribly awful.

My personal fave bad game: Deal or No Deal. The game show on TV is bad enough--in spite of Howie Mandell and the bells and whistles, all it is total luck-- but the DS game, apparently, doesn't randomize the numbers, meaning even a gameplay mechanic that relies purely on luck is broken! It seems impossible, but it's true!

Most disappointing: Acme Arsenal. We were actually excited about this wasted opportunity!

How about you: What's your personal choice for worst game of the year?
