Video Games That Have Disgraced The Industry

Bad games are released all the time, that is nothing new. However, to be this bad is almost an art form. Check out some of the worst video games ever created. Do you have a game in mind that didn’t make the list?

2

Shaq-Fu (1994) – Gamespot score: 4.5/10
A game about Shaquille O’ Neal fighting mummies in another dimension. ‘Nuff said.

3

Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis (2003) – IGN score: 2.4/10
“Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis, in my opinion, is much like Aquaman himself: pathetic.” – Matt Casamassina, IGN

4

Dragonball: Evolution (2009) – IGN score: 2.0/10
This game is a disgrace and just parallels all of the terribleness that is the movie.

5

Rambo: The Video Game (2014) – IGN score: 3.0/10
Another attempt to cash in on a popular franchise, Rambo: The Video Game looks and plays like it was a terrible game made for the Nintendo 64.

6

Drake and the 99 Dragons (2003) – IGN score: 2.9/10
If you pay $20 for this game then you have paid $20 too much.

7

Blackwater (2011) – IGN score: 2.5/10
It was a great idea to utilize the Kinect for a first-person shooter. It was a terrible idea to exploit our love for military shooters and try to sell this glitchy garbage.

8

Batman: Dark Tomorrow (2003) – IGN score: 2.2/10
“A crime against comic book licenses. Flawed from top to bottom, from beginning to end… This is a great example of ‘what not to do.'” – Hilary Goldstein, IGN

9

Catwoman (2004) – IGN score: 3.8/10
A less exciting, dumbed down Tomb Raider.

10

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) – Gamespot score: 4.4/10
Unfortunately the Sonic name doesn’t make this game good. Stick to the originals.

11

Fugitive Hunter: War on Terror (2003) – IGN score: 3.3/10
Pros: You can get into a fist fight with Osama Bin Laden. Cons: Absolutely everything else.

12

Bubsy 3D (1996) – IGN score: 2.5/10
One of the biggest turn-offs for this game is Bubsy’s unimaginably annoying commentary that spurts out of the main charter every couple seconds. And even if you could get past this annoying cat, the gameplay is so impossible that you couldn’t play if you tried.

13

Infestation: Survivor Stories (The War Z) (2012) – Gamespot score: 2.0/10
First of all, the pay-to-play structure is hard to deal with. You buy your characters and equipment, which you will positively lose when you die and are looted. Fighting zombies never seemed so depressing.

14

Link:The Faces of Evil (1993) – IGN score: 3.4/10
A CD-i Zelda game that wasn’t even created by Nintendo, we wonder where they went wrong?

15

Charlies Angels (2003) – Gamespot score: 1.9/10
Outside of the underdressed “Angels,” this game is nothing more than a marketing ploy, and plays like one to boot.

16

Ride to Hell: Retribution (2013) – IGN user score: 1.5/10
This is the kind of game you buy for $5 just so you can laugh. Ride to Hell is so broken and hard to play it could be used as a form of torture for your worst enemies.

17

RoboCop (2003) – Gamespot score: 2.2/10
It’s a very easy game with mediocre graphics, but a waste of a good license.

18

Custer’s Revenge (1982) – IGN user score: 1.9/10
A game in which you play a naked General Custer on the hunt to, essentially, sexually assault the Native American woman at the other end of the screen.

19

Superman 64 (1999) – Gamespot score: 1.3/10
“It serves no purpose other than to firmly establish the bottom of the barrel.” – Gamespot

20

E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) – IGN score: 2.5/10
There is no basic understanding of how to play this game. Many attribute E.T. as the downfall of Atari in the 80’s.

21

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing (2003) – Gamespot score: 1/10
Just how bad is Big Rigs? So bad that your mind will be forced to restart and you will have to relearn all basic human functions.
We know this is only a few out of the plethora of terrible games. Let us know about more.
