From any system.

Batman: Dark Tomorrow (360) is my worst game, ever. Absolute garbage. There were Atari 2600 games with better gameplay than that....I don't even want to call it a game. All I can remember is that it took me about 10 attempts to get Batman from one building top to the next, and that was at the very beginning of the game. The free artbook had to have more value that Dark Tomorrow. Luckily, I think this was when Gamestop was still letting people return new games opened, so I didn't lose out on much, except for the 30 minutes trying to play that crappy game.

Fuzion Frenzy 2 on the 360. Worst controls ever. Worst party game ever. Worst multiplayer game ever. I got it free and still think I got ripped off. Worst game ever.

Orphen for PS2. Absolute crap. The one game where every single review was dead on, but I was so hyped for it I got it back. To this day I regret taking Kessen back instead of Orphen for full price. The best part of Orphen was the anime cut scenes.

I've played so many bad games on so many systems, they all just become a big blurry mix of crap. I can't really remember them and don't want to remember them unless I really have to.

Surprisingy, I can't really think of any. I think I must have really blocked them from my mind.

The Hive (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/hivethe/index.html). Holy f*cking f*ck, this game was a steaming pile of crap on an even more disgusting platter. It's basically a point and shoot - all the scenes are prerendered, and you point your mouse and shoot lasers at enemies. Thing is, it takes one hit to kill you. Just one. And there are literally tens of enemies on screen. I kept dying at this one part where an enemy jumps out from behind a wall and shoots you. If you don't shoot him in the split second he jumps out, you're dead. What makes it so hard is that right before him there's an enemy on the complete other side of the screen. Basically, it's frikkin' impossible. I took the game to a pawn shop, and they sold it for me, but I never got around to going to pick up my money for the game. I really regret not doing that, one of the only PC games I ever bought (in fact, one of the first games I ever bought, I was young at the time) and I got sooo burned on it.

Maybe that explains my piracy habit...

There were a lot of bad PC games in the mid 90's. Daikatana oooo yes I remember that one! Really bad game. The Hive sounds pretty bad too. I am also reminded of the rest of the crap from the CD era like that Keanu Reaves game, forgot the title (it was based on a movie at the time from the 90s) which was absolutely horrid.

REALLY? I've never played it but I loved the first one. I still use Fuzion Frenzy 1 to introduce non-gamers to videogames.

I want to say Nocturne on PC due to its awful and archaic controls, but my nomination still goes to Superman on Nintendo 64. I can't even remember the point of that game, other than to fly aimlessly with bad controls.

Did any of you guys play that Bruce Lee game for the Xbox, it was shamefully bad as well.

As for this gen, Top Spin 3 gets my vote. Take the best tennis game ever, Top Spin 1 and then turn it into a turd. It plays like the first Test Drive videogame.

I forgot all about the Bruce Lee game. I rented it, and played for 15 minutes. Definitely a bad game.

I have the Top Spin 3 game, and I'm enjoying it. The only thing that annoys me are returning serves. Most of the cpu gets aces on me because it seems my character doesn't react when I hit the button at times. Other than that, I think it's a big improvement over TS2. It feels like one of those games that I have to learn how to play from scratch, instead of it being a sequel that's too familiar. Granted, I do have it on "Very Easy" until I really get the hang of the controls, but it feels like a better game. Well, except for the Tennis School. I can't stand doing that. It asks for too much precision shots and accuracy. I suck at trying to hit the ball right at that small square, but my created character will dominate in a match.
