Future Tactics. Not only are the graphics and gameplay atrocious, but the music sounds like an alcoholic Crocodile Dundee strumming out an outback tune on a banjo using only his scrotum. X_X
The Worst Game Ever Made?

Do I have to say Call Of Duty Modern Warfare?
yes I do
not by any stretch of bad design or broken controls, or anything like that
what it represents, anyone can make a completely average first person shooter
with generic brown graphics (very good graphics, mind you)
nonexistent narrative and faceless characters
and it will sell like crack.
while new, fun, good games like Mirror's Edge get shunned because of some collision detection and loading issues.
I don't blame Modern Warfare for the popularity of FPS, I think I need to go back to Quake (I think, I wasn't gaming age when that came out, and I might not have been born yet)
I do blame Halo: combat evolved. It made combat evolve into boring gray brown generic cover based 6 hour shit storm. and it gets away with it because of some terrible online multiplayer that has roughly the same entertainment value as sticking pushpins into your face.

I prefer to mention a game that personally gave me the shits than something no one is ever going to go back to like superman 64 and ET Atari.
Said to be the best Wii title by many, Super Smash Brother Brawl. It's a sequal to one of my all time favourite games SSB Melee, but of course it didn't live up to staggering amount of hype it built for itself for almost 3 years. It's the whole reason I bought the fucking Wii!
First of all, most of the flaws are very visable like the random tripping that really can happen any time, for a fast paced fighting game it really does break the flow and can get you killed often as well. Another is the lack of combo's, all fighting games have basic combo's except Brawl so you will find yourself taking turns hitting eachother like turned based combat. Now I'll mention that one that annoy's the fanboy's, unbalanced super moves, seriously, some are piss poor weak and you have to get near your foe to use it, and others do shit loads of damage and have massive aoe. How the hell did they screw that one up?
That's just a small sample from this crappy game.

BOY! I slap you! its different, but it isn't on any level bad.Gudrests said:
fuck hard as hell though...
Sorry to go off topic for a minute, but I've noticed since the AVGN has gotten popular (swearing is funny kids!) more and more people have said E.T. based on the fact that the Nerd said so. Here's a shocker to all the kids who say it because the Nerd says it, it really wasn't that awful considering the time it was made in. If you had the instruction manual(they actually used to be important) the game made sense and could actually be fun in small doses. Sure it has aged like a mildewed sock, but if you were a kid in 1982 you could easily be entertained by it.Tankichi said:
Edit: E.T. did not single handidly cause the video game crash. Yes, it played a part, but there were other reasons involved also. You had every Tom, Dick and Harry decide they were a video game company and put out some games that made E.T. look like Prince of Persia, which caused a glut of software that never sold causing retailers to cut back orders for one thing. There was also the fact that four players in a small market when you figure in the three main consoles and the home computer, each vying for a piece of the pie. Not to mention we hadn't gotten out of the financial mess that Jimmy Carter had gotten us into so money for things like video games (that didn't have a track record at the time and might be the new disco as far as the public is concerned) all added up to a breaking point that didn't end until video games were seen as "mainstream" by Mr. and Mrs. America when the NES hit and could be found in relatively safe places like Walmart, FAO, Toys R Us and other "wholesome" places that took the seediness of what was then akin to D&D by many.
My pick for worst game is that Pokemon Channel game. I worked at Software Etc. when it came out and all the little kids came and had their parents buy it for them and then I got tons of calls when they realized there wasn't really a game there. I say it's the worst because it was just a cash grab by Nintendo to put out something with the Pokemon brand without having to really put any resources into it.
Oh, chil'ren. Most of you haven't lived through the era of Full Motion Video CD games. Nothing can top the awesome ineptitude of games like A Fork In the Tale or Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. E.T. was poorly designed and linked with a cascade of bad business decisions, but there's still a playable game under there that even tried to do some innovative things with its interface, given the limitations of a joystick with one button. Some of the FMV games are just extended torture with little to no actual game.
I'm gonna probably get a couple people mad here. But hear me our.
Games like Rogue Warrior, E.T and Over The Road Racing are the worst no doubt. But they were all doomed. Rogue Worrior couodve been ok. But you get my point.
I'm throwing Far Cry 2 out there. Now hear me out. It's better than the previous 3 on an even scale. But considering the effort, time and money put into it, it was one of the most boring games I've ever played. The environments were nice. But the variety was crap. There were like 3 cars. You were on a plain so why was there gliders ? It was just boring. Missions were "go to point X and kill all they guys from group Y, but don't expect help because were to lazy to program allied AI outside of the 5 or so people you'll meet".
Most games are the same thing over and over when you think about it. But with Far Cry 2 it was un-ignorable.
