As much as I did like Duke Nukem Forever (And I liked it enough to actually buy the new DLC that came out for it, and actually bought it on both PC and PS3, since it would be easier to store on steam than my shelf), this is a very fair list and mostly agree with it. I see why people don't like Duke Nukem Forever, and understand completely. I guess nostalgia of Duke Nukem 3D might be clouding my judgement a bit, but I found the game fun and funny in a fair number of places (Not the rape part, that part made me feel more than a bit sick.

I would have put Call of Juarez higher though, because of how the characters were nothing but annoying, how the story was just downright offensive and in general, how it barely functioned as a game. Bound in Blood was a damn fine game, but this one was an insult and a spit in the face.

Calumon: I don't know any games that are bad, 'cos Jack won't let me play most of them! D:

Jack: If they make more kid friendly games, you'll get more of games to play!

I would have put Call of Juarez at the top of this list, not only for being a horrible game, but for completely spitting in the face of a horrible, ongoing tragedy.
I also didn't hate DNF. It was nice to play an old school shooter, even if it was a bad one.

Bullshit, Mr. Sterling, bullshit! Duke Nukem was not the worst piece of entertainment of the year! It was the worst piece of "entertainment" in the last ten years! You were far too kind to it!

I saw Duke Nukem Forever coming a mile away, but what rape is he talking about? I played that game and saw no rape. I saw topless women who had panties on trapped in some kind of alien slime piles or something, but it was no different than what was seen in Duke Nukem 3D. It was just better graphics.

Also, he forgot inFamous 2. That did come out this year, right? Let me check. ... Yes, it did.
Well the reason inFAMOUS 2 isn't on here is because this is a worst games of 2011 list not a BEST games of 2011 list

Hey, aside from the horribad-Batman he was, Val Kilmer is awesome.
Kilmer wasn't even particularly bad as Batman, despite the movie being particularly bad. That is, the fault really comes down to writing and such more than Kilmer. Though he should probably have never taken the job.
I'll admit he was the best Bruce Wayne of that series...

Real Genius (best Movie EVAR)
Slight correction to strengthen your statement.

I, as well, love Val Kilmer. The man is just awesome. Val Kilmer is, by far, the most underrated actor in Hollywood. His performances are legendary and his method acting ways are akin to Daniel Day Lewis. Perfect example is the shockingly spot on performance of Jim Morrison. I personally thought the movie was just okay, and I can't stand the Doors, however, Kilmer's acting was eerie. He became Jim Morrison (his singing was phenomenal as well). His only downfall is the disturbing amount of weight he has gained.

OT: I really want to know more about game number three. I tend to think I'm in "the loop" about games, and it was nothing I've heard of or seen. To skip entirely is puzzling. The still shot looked interesting and now I want to know!

I've enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever. And I liked the character and obnoxious jokes. Well, to be honest I hated regenerating health and 2 weapon limit, but managed to tolerate them.
Now Dragon Age 2... Now if you say DNF is not good, then you should just kill every person guilty of DA2 creation for crimes against humanity.

Say what you want about DNF, but I had fun playing it.
I agree. It was fun. The Hive level sucked, but the driving and shrunken sections of the game were fun and interesting. Felt like it had a point and that I hadn't done anything like it before. Duke was pretty terrible in the plot/dialog portions of the game, but then I really liked the minigames that involved finding more "ego." That shit was sort of clever. For a game released in 2011, that cost me ten dollars, I felt it was worth it. Not that it makes any difference, but all the creepy misogyny present in this game was actually written by WOMEN. I noticed that in Dead Rising 2 Off the Record, too. I saw a girl wrote it in the credits, after hearing groan inducing lines like "I knew she had a crush on me" after a woman is killed by falling debris. Women just hate women, I guess, or are filtering what they think men who play videogames feel about women.

Well, you get older your body does weird things, like weight gain... no matter how much you try to work out or diet. It happens, its genetic. My grandfather was a Marine, did his Marine workouts every day even after being out of service for 20 years and still had a holly-jolly Santa Claus belly. Tell u this much though, I was wrestling with him one day and accidentally punched him in the gut and damn near broke my hand... LOL.

And you're right, it was the best movie EVAR, sorry for my typo.

I actually have to give Jim some respect for this list. Most of these "top worst X" lists are the same thing: High profile games that didn't meet that person's expectations (Call of Duty and Dragon Age 2 generally end up on these lists, there's no way that you can seriously say that these high profile games were the worst when you could name off ten broken games).

However, usually the really shitty games are the ones that normal people have never played because they were shitty.

On your list, I did not recognize half of them (Warriors: Legend of Troy, The Cursed Crusade, Lucha Fury, Knights Contract, and James Pond). The others were seen as either cash-grabs by me (BloodRayne and X-men) or just expected to suck.

This. I'm surprised he didn't mention the utterly reprehensible story.
