The worst game you've ever played

Azurik: Rise of Perathia. Poor controls, laughable story and voice acting, and ultimately no redeeming qualities made it the worst pseudo-Zelda clone I've ever played.
Yeah, I tend to avoid those games that seem destined to raise my ire. That being said, I basically had to weld my hands to my controller to struggle through Bioshock 2, though that was more dissappointing than abysmal. Tunnel B1 was almost unplayable back when I first got seriously into gaming, and I'm sure there were countless nuggets of brown gold in my first system, the Spectrum (ZX).Jimmy T. Malice said:
The worst game that i have ever played would be without question or reservation would be Turning Point:Fall of Liberty. The controls were unresponsive, the game was cliched and not in a funny way, and the weapons were annoying, with all weapons culminating in the sniper rifle, a weapon that could fire nearly as fast as the smgs, with a one hit kill anywhere, and infinite range with minimal recoil and almost no. The game also relied heavily on scripted events, and the AI was, while not horrible, still disappointing.
I am very hard to annoy when it comes to gameplay. But when a game comes along and completely ruins a series I deeply love, it gets me mad as hell. So I hope Arcania burns in the deepest corner of hell for taking everything that was great about Gothic and throwing it in the trash.
I don't know about everyone else, but I hated Oblivion before there was Skyrim (was too busy playing Gothic and Risen anyway), and I'm loving Skyrim to death right now. I highly doubt I'll come to hate it once the next Elder Scrolls comes out.thedevildancer said:
It would either be Too Human or Duke Nukem Forever very difficult to decide but at least Too Human had potential which DNF lacked so I would have to go for that
Damnation.
No, that isn't a curse, that's the name of a third-person, steampunk, Gears of War wannabe.
They seemed to forget that what makes these third person cover based shooters work is the ability to actually take cover. in this game, the best you could do is crouch and sidle up to a wall. Some folks are probably thinking that this a an improvement over the 'Press A ==> Glue Self to Wall' mechanic that is the standard in these types of games.
It wasn't.
Problem was, your crouching hit box is slightly bigger than the chest high walls, so the steam-nazis will gleefully take potshots at your exposed back fat until you keel over. Add to that the sheer amount of ammo that it takes to kill just one enemy (between every fight you literally HAD to find every scrap of ammunition in the area or else you risked having to run across a battlefield in the next encounter to pimp slap your opponent to death) and you have a recipe for frustration.
Then it made you do some incredibly insipid platforming-esque bits. They weren't even platforming segments really. You just had to climb a few ropes for 5 minutes before they would let you kill more steam-nazis. And I mean just climb ropes. No jumping, no leaping from one rope to another, nothing.
Quickest turn around I ever had on a rental.

Toss up between The Italian Job for the PS2 (this was the modern one), Advent Rising for Xbox, and Army of Two: the 40th day.
The ones that jump to my mind are:
Rainbow Six: Lockdown. Take a well established franchise, with a unique niche market and original gameplay, and make it a generic action shooter, and a not very good one at that. At least the Vegas games had the decency to be passably fun.
Saints Row 2 on PC. I am unaware of a worse port for the PC. Though Bully comes close.
