The odd thing is I've heard the single play DLC for Duke Nukem Forever is actually not that bad... appears to have been developed RECENTLY.
Now then, is anyone else interested to know why Knights Contract is so bad? Probably a Destructoid review of his out there.

The one big thing I like about this list is that the games on it aren't bad only by their own merit. In many of those cases their bad with the lack of care shown and cash-in appearance.
I'll admit that I haven't played DNF, mostly out of a lack of interest, but I have seen some of the Lets Plays. It doesn't look terrible game-play -just pretty bland- but it is pretty...well offensive, not just in the jokingly way. It's also had a decade's work put into it, granted it was passed from developer to developer, but ten years should be enough to get it right.
A game like Dragon Age 2 is a little poor in comparsion to other titles by Bioware, also it does seem like a cash-in. But it's safe to assume that it's had 1-2 years work put into it. Unlike many games here it's mostly funcational, so of course it didn't make it for simply being a disppointment.

Must be tough being a games journalist, having to play games like those, even if you don't want to.
I haven't played any of them because I research games beforehand.Mikeyfell said:
Interesting list, i liked most of the reviews.
I will say that I almost stopped watching this video after the first minute; I realize the whole "look at me, I'm so awesome" thing is a running gag at this point, but it was just annoying in the first part of this video. The whole minute-long "I am Jesus Christ" rant was basically less funny then the "jokes" Duke Nukem.
That being said, I'm glad I watched the rest of the video, because the actual reviews were good. Just tone down the unfunny arrogance and I'll probably watch more of your videos.

DNF - worst game of 2011?
But it has boobs! How can anything that has boobs be bad?
*MDC runs off to buy the next glittery thing they've advertised to his pathetic peer-pressure-led little brain...*

Kudos to Sterling for tearing into DNF for being the trite, misogynist piece of regurgitated garbage utterly void of redeeming features that it is.
His defense of Rapelay remains flimsy and unsatisfactory, however.

It seems like I'm in the minority for this, but, I hated and despised Duke Nukem Forever. I wanted to raise a baby with it, let it fall in love with the baby, then murder it and feed it to Duke in a pie, like in Titus Andronicus. That game deserves nothing but hatred, derision and a steel toe capped boot right between the thighs.
I play some games that I know are going to be terrible just so I can get a better big picture of the year.CardinalPiggles said:
I pretty much knew I wasn't going to find anything worse than Gears 3 or MW3 this year but it means less if I hadn't played Mindjack or Call of Juarez or X-men Destiny.
So I didn't get tricked into playing them. Except DNF, I wanted DNF to be good, but it just wasn't!
Some of those games are not "bad", just "decent" or "disappointing". I would gladly say Mindjack was a worse game than Bloodrayne or even Duke Nukem Forever.
Or, shock of shocks, Jim's GOTY, Skyrim, barely even WORKS on my PS3... so a game that doesn't even play, for me, is technically a worse game than Duke Nukem Forever because DNF at least WORKED all the way through (even if it was offensive and stupid as it did so.)

I agree 100% on the Spiderman game. I don't know why this is so hard for developers to understand, all players want from a Spiderman game is to web-swing around a city. If you have a good melee combat system that's a bonus, but seriously, what's with Spiderman games not even acknowledging the swinging aspect? Are they afraid of success or something?
I'll admit, I bought Bloodrayne because the art-style is just GORGEOUS, and really appealed to me. its wonderful to watch the heroine in motion, the animation is just beautiful.esperandote said:
but the way it controls... Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch. Unfair does not begin to describe it.
