RIFT and City of Heroes/Villains/Going Rogue. RIFT was pretty good, but I almost felt that there were too many choices for class selection. I kept feeling that every time I made a choice to get an ability, I'd make the wrong one. Plus, in the early days, when there were nine billion people playing, it was impossible to do anything in the game's fancy world events that got so much hype.
City of Heroes...dear god, was that a dull game. The interface sucked, the controls were wonky, the graphics were terribad (yeah, I know, it came out in 2004, but still) and every quest, at least in the beginning was some variation on "go to X cave and kill Y monsters (occasionally for Z item)." I mean, at least with Cataclysm, World of Warcraft flipped the script and added some fun quests that change things up.
Other than that, I'd just have to say a number of Steam games that made me go "Eh, screw it, it's five bucks. I'll pick it up." I bought the X3 pack on sale, and found it to be an absolute mess with a confusing interface and controls. Gave Monday Night Combat a try and while it was pretty fun, it felt a lot like a Team Fortress 2 knock-off. I was recommended to get Empire: Total War, and got completely lost trying to figure out how to play. And people keep trying to get me to play Dungeon Defenders, but I just flat-out don't like the game.

AI (Individual Soldiers' AI I mean) was fething broken as feth with the enemies rigged to the 10th level. I watched in horror on easy as 2 Armored Cars 1 shot 3 Panzer IVs and 1 Valentine kill 4 Panzer IVs in 4 shots yet they missed nearly 13 shots
Not to mention the slowed features such as having to babysit your troops, (I want to command soldiers, not manage their fething pistol ammo, if they are using the gun they are trained with, or if they have a fething helmet or not)
Knights of the Old Republic 2:
I HATED the story on top of the fact that you can tell the game isnt even close to being finished.
Assassin's Creed Revolutions easily..........
The game was dreadful on assassin legs. Ubisoft screwed with too many of the old mechanics so that also let it down, the ending was fudged up sooooo badly I may never recover. And the map of Constantinople was smaller than the map of Rome in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood which annoyed me so, yeh I was preety cheesed at it.
Boo to you Ubisoft, boo to you...............
The Rout, Vlka Fenryka, Warrior Kings of Fenris.... the Space Wolves. Horus Heresy. Sixth Great Company. 1500pts. In progress.

I think people are just using this thread to spout off against games they marginally dislike, as opposed to THE WORST GAMES EVER.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

I think at one point I owned 7 of the 10 worst XBox games of all time.
A few examples: Loons.
Spoiler:
Nightcaster.
Spoiler:
Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions.
Spoiler:
Kakuto Chojin.
Spoiler:
Note that this game was actually pulled because it used the Qu'ran in a (supposedly) offensive way. I think Microsoft just wanted an excuse to drag this turd off the shelf.
I should also probably include Morrowind, simply because it crashed all the freaking time. There were certain parts of the map where I feared to go because the game always crashed when I went there. Good game otherwise.
If you're looking for a terrible game, ask me for a recommendation.

War of the Rings and Battle for Middle Earth were both excellent, although the former was a bit much of a warcraft clone for my liking. It was nowhere near the WORST though.
Just lukewarm.

A few of them are already mentioned, but Superman 64. If I still have it and ever start Orks then think is going to become a dread or something decent for once in its existence.
That game was a nut-cruncher. The only other thing I've put that much effort into with so little reward was a woman. And just like the woman in question, I dumped this game ASAP.

I suspect that you did not play Okami on PS2. The port was hypothetically an excellent idea. Only hypothetically.

I always hear that younger people these days are spoiled and picky ingrates. But you guys prove that you're much more forgiving and tolerant than your reputation.

I played the crap out of BoME and it was far from excellent. I'll give it to you that of all the schlock branded with the LotR name that I've played, this might have been the best. But it's a low bar. I can't speak to War of the Rings because I did not play it. I learned my lesson from BoME.

Fair. Not everyone enjoys that type of game, but I do enjoy pain.

Well this is without doubt the worst I have ever had the misfortune to come across, a glitchy unplayable and If I remember complaints from those who forced through the early levels uncompleatable game.
Controls made this 3DO beat em up nigh unplayable, or was that the pad. Not sure, but I am sure it was games like this one that speeded the 3DO to its end.
It seemed so cool at the time, make your own entrance, put your own songs on your wrestlers intro. Unfortuantely it looked and played like a brick.
Really liked the idea behind this, all female cast, more show than the typical wrestling game. Sadly it played awful with a counter system that made no logical sense and nigh impossible for a mortal mind to use, but for a Computer, well, it was not uncommon to have everyone of your moves countered in a match.

The Bouncer. It came bundled with my PS2, making up the numbers with GT3 and not only was The Bouncer a terrible game but also one of the biggest let downs in gaming history. It was supposed to be a cross between Tekken and Final Fantasy - sounds good right? Well it sucked.
