And so, due to rising costs of maintaining the Golden Throne, the Emperor's finest accountants spoke to the Demigurg. A deal was forged in blood and extensive paperwork for a sub-prime mortgage with a 5/1 ARM on the Imperial Palace. And lo, in the following years the housing market did tumble and the rate skyrocketed leaving the Emperor's coffers bare. A dark time has begun for the Imperium, the tithes can not keep up with the balloon payments and the Imperial Palace and its contents, including the Golden Throne, have fallen into foreclosure. With an impending auction on the horizon mankind holds its breath as it waits to see who will gain possession of the corpse-god and thus, the fate of humanity......

It's a really close tie between Gods and Generals and Shaq-fu.
Out of what I've actually played, anyway.
Though if you put development time into the equasion, Too Human could easily take the top spot (Twelve Years in development, and easily the worst game I've picked up in years).

also these games make the short list
Pac-Man for the Atari
Friday the 13th NES
ghostbusters NES
a boy and his blob NES
Shaq-fu on all systems
Waterworld on virtual-boy
as well as some of the others mentioned here. (custards revenge, superman 64, ect.)
Yes, I can't believe I forgot ET for the 2600. Unlike a lot of people who talk about that one, I actually owned and played that game. The sad part about it is that I played it as late as 1984. I actually had the cartridge in my possession until at least the mid to late 90s. I wish I still had it as it is probably collectible now.
Battletoads 3. Although it is credited with creating the Angry Marines Primarch, so I suppose something good did come of that exercise in frustration.

Well, thanks to the Angry Video Game Nerd I have seen a lot of bad video games, but I'm npt sure which are the worst games I have played so far.
- Starfox Adventures was terribly dissapointing. So much potential from my ( back then) favourite company and then they deliver this? It was too short and too easy, but it looked pretty good.
- ehm...every "realistic" racing game. So I can race that guy? And how do I attack him?
As others have already said E.T. for Atari,I remember the "mad rush" to get this mess prior to Christmas and the insuing WTF everyone felt after seeing/playing it.
I'd also like to add any game featuring Spiro the Dragon as this character makes my eyes bleed.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
Any video game made based on a movie... (well ok there are a couple of exceptions to this but they are few and far between while the games are not)
Everquest (the first one). Sure it was a landmark game but boy did it have one hell of a broken system. Not sure if 2 is any better but I'm not spending money to find out.
Blood. And for that matter, most of the 3d first person shooters that came out shortly after Doom 2. Everyone and their mother was trying to cash in on ID's sucess and not doing a very good job.
Hexen. This one stands out because it was a first person shooter that was mostly without levels. You just had to unlock more parts of the same huge level, so you flip a switch somewhere and have to use telepathy to read the f***ing minds of the game developers to figure out where the door it opened is.
Starwars Battlefront. Great idea. Oh my goodness what horible and bland execution.
I'm certain I could come up with more, but I'll leave room for others.

Threads should be like skirts: long enough to cover what's important but short enough to keep it interesting.
see, the "dissapointment" in the fight club game, wasnt in the game itself.... it was broken.
there were only like, 4 levels to play in, no unlockable characters, the character creation was a joke... the only real gimmick the game had, was an "X-ray vision" occasionally play when you broke an arm or leg.
The game could have been so much better, if they had just put more time into it, and gotten the system down, as well as the "story mode" which frankly isnt really needed, as theres no real "boss fights" in a Fight Club type setting.
ohh... heres a horrible game that i think most will agree on: Firewarrior
I understand the whole Fight Club thing completely. Yes, a very broken game. Not worth anyone's money.
But when people start putting up stuff like Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Final Fantasy, and Everquest (?), it just makes me wonder if anyone has actually had to suffer through any truly terrible game. I mean, games so broken that you can just laugh at how terrible the programming is. Games that make you wonder how that game even got published.

Fire Warrior was okay if you managed to block out that it was supposed to have anything to do with 40K or its normal rules... and turned the sound off... and ignored the multiplayer... and that annoying 'kill all of the snipers' bit...

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.
