Mario's Time Machine/Mario is Missing.

God awful monstrosities.

also, Kya: Dark Lineage

I'll admit Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is the worst game in the world, but I kinda liked how unfinished it was, and the YOURE WINNER! thing.

Mario is Missing was made of failage. Not even close to a Mario game. It shamed Luigi.

I have a friend. Really, I do. He owns an XBox. I do not. At one time, he said "Aw man, Ghost Recon is so amazing!" so I rented it for my 'Cube.

I punched him the next day.

A bit later he said "Aw man, Ghost Recon 2 is so amazing." This time, I made sure he let me play it on his XBox. It was good. I pre-ordered it for the Cube.

I punched him after I played the Cube version.

Then we fondly remembered our N64 days, and how much fun we had with Winback. We heard there was a sequel. Believing the magic would be back, I bought it.


We don't talk a lot anymore.

Sim Earth.

It was like if they took my tenth grade trigonometry teacher, and turned her into a video game.

Turok....
No, not just Evolution...
EVERY GAME from this series just really is a pile of bad....
If I were to call it a peice of shit then I would be actually saying those games are better then they really are...
My friend somehow loved the first one and Rage Wars and still defend both to this day calling it "Better than Quake"...
He's been pummled many times...

Enter the Matrix. End of discussion.

Pretty much EVERY game with a basketball player starring that isn't about basketball.

Shaq Fu? MJ in Wind city? Go to Hell!

I'm pretty careful about the games I buy, so my "worst games ever" are gonna be sacred cows that weren't so bad as they were mega disappointments.

That said, FF7. The battle system was standard RPG fare for me, but I must admit, I liked the Materia system. However, I had just come off of Tales of Symphonia and Paper Mario 2, so I was a bit spoiled in regards to random encounters. FF7 was par for the course, but for me, any random encounters can be too much, unless I really like the battle system. The story was the biggest letdown for me. Since I had played mostly post-FF7 games up until then, it offered nothing new, except for the story.

Now, the story is waaay over-rated. Thanks to Cloud, I have a seething hatred for "badass" mercenary people, especially if the have amnesia or a "mysterious past." Even the uber-oblivious ("What? You mean she likes me? I had no idea!"), blockheaded Tales heroes are preferable to this. And the surprising twists? A whole lot of "surprising revelation... SURPRISE! Not rly!" Sephiroth's the last Ancient! SURPRISE! Not rly! It was like that except for Aeris's death, which was pretty much expected. I'm sure it was great when it came out, but for me, it was just a chore to play. And something you play should never be a "chore."

Any game starring the American Gladiators. That is all.

I think the title was "Dark Skye", or something like that. Starred a teenage girl wielding a staff, if I remember clearly.

I'm okay with the occaisonal pop culture reference. Hell, I'm even okay with a game being based on pop culture. But Dark Skye just went overboard with it. At several points I was wondering if the game was just a giant melting pot of commercials disguised as an action/adventure title.

Honorable mentions go to Quest 64, for being a game with near-infinite potential and a complete lack of trying to acheive any of it. If it weren't for the battle system, I would have scrapped it in favor of the GBC version, which at least made an attempt to make sense of the messed up plot.

Edit: Darkened Skye. That's the title. Also, taste the rainbow.
