I fortunately never played any of those games, but, to not sound just like a cheap link thread, here's another smaller list, based on what I played:

  • Number 1: Counter-Strike(PC) - Flame me as you wish, but I always found its gameplay bland and based not on tactics, as supposedly it was claimed, but on whoever shoots faster and accurately, and as movement of all move like old men on that game, even if you are great on strafing, you will be "pwnd" by players that have suggesting nicks like "Chuck Norris" or "Rambo", and that strangely seem to never miss a single shot *cough* aimbots *cough*. I always was more fond of "unrealistic" shooters for typical multiplayer games, for realistic games I would rather see a game focused on stealth than combat(Like the classic Thief: The Dark Project). And just to add, I never found a decent server on the web("F*** off n00b, this server does not accept crap" was the asnwer I got alongside a ban in one of them...), perhaps of bad luck, at least the original Half-life was a good, cheap purchase and kept me entertained. And believe me or not, playing with bots was slightly better than playing on the net, because they tend to respect you.
  • Number 2: The Tick(Genesis) - Boring repetitive gameplay ripped off from "The King of Fighters", and to increase the problem, I can assure you that this one is impossible to be beaten on Genesis(Like the one I had a long time ago) because it's ridiculously long for a game that hasn't a save feature, it has some cheap jokes running around, none of them I found funny
  • Number 3: Die Hard Trilogy(PC) - One of the worst games based on movies ever done, still I doubt it is worst than the E.T. mentioned on that article.
  • Number 4: Spider Man 1(PS One) - Although many crappy movies were made based on games, the same also happens for the opposite. Repetitive and insanely hard gameplay and lack of an effective save game system make this adaptation goes down the drain, at least for me
  • Number 5: Tibia(PC) - Also know as "Microsoft Paintbrush MMORPG", this is the kind of game that redefines the meaning of mediocrity, and although isn't the worst on all games genres, in my opinion, it is definitively the worst MMO(RP?)G ever done, suffice to say, if you are really bothered by server crashes and not-so great graphics in this alpha game named Planeshift, you will probably throw your monitor off the window after some hours playing Tibia. It is the only game I gave up after 4 hours playing

I've beaten ET for the Atari 2600 three times \o/ its not really that bad once you know what you are spposed to do, but its just a very annoying game.

I would put Custers Revenge as my #1 worst game ever.

Warhammer "Mark of Chaos"
It's a quite new game, I bought Cause i kinda like RTS sometimes (I LOVE C&C ^^ Tiberium Wars is one that should new be in this kinda list ^^) the game cost as much as C&C3 But Yuck, I donĀ“t know what it is, I enjoyed `battle for middle earth`  which is kinda the same (other setting but still) .... Anyway I thought it was a real real waste of money  :'( I think it's because it's to much real battle with strange things ;) make either a complete fantasy thing or a real medieval fighting game :P

Generals Zero hour, [I know it's a C&C game, still worst in their list :P] The laser general was too strong So online gaming sucked ;)

LOTR part 1 , I really don't get that game, I cannot come past the first real fight  :-\ I just don't get the mechanics too much thingies and such :(

Area 51, I bought it because of the IG movies ^^ it featured voice of Marilyn Manson and David William Duchovny [You know "mulder"  :lol: Loved that series] But the story was crap, like real crap, I usualy play shooters because of the story, but as I said this story was crap. Because WHAT KIND OF ALIENS BUILD AN ENGINE FOR THEIR UFO THAT CAN SHOOT? WHERE IS THE FREAKING BIG FORCE FIELD TO DEFEND IT? WHERE ARE THE ALIEN GUARDS TO DEFEND IT? AS SINCE WHEN SUMMON ALIEN HUMAN LIFE FORM TO THEIR AID WITH LIGHT GIVING BOLLS? Though the first few chapters are 'normal nice'  ;)

Falcon's eye, and Nethack in general...

Until today I do not understand how to survive. I do not understand how to sleep, to eat safely, to heal ... There is just no easily understandable manual.
