Call of Duty Black Ops: Declassified has only its name going for it. Everything else is piss poor, from both design and production standpoints.

Weeping Doll had good ideas and a good horror atmosphere, but the game lacks ambition and finishes after only 40 minutes!

It's hard to accept that such a title can exist in 2013. It's probably the best candidate for worst game of the year.

Like the movie, The Expendables 2 video game is shallow, and focused on but one thing : brutal combats with millions of bullets flying. The only problem is that as it may be fun to watch in a 1 hour and a half movie, it's far from being fun to play for 3 and half hours, even cooperatively, especially with such low production values.

This new Tony Hawk's Pro Skater feels old in terms of technology and gameplay. It plays the same old song again, but with a lot of bugs, a terrible interface, disappointing maps... Just avoid it.

The Asskickers claims to be the rebirth of the 2D beat'em all genre. It's just a resounding failure, in almost every way.

If you were a Kick Off fan (or still are), you will probably find what you expected: a truly difficult game to master, faithful to its roots and that doesn't want you to feel assisted. If you're not familiar with the series, you'll first notice poor visuals and lack of content. But if you take some time to master, you sure can have some good fun.

Fighters Uncaged has few content, and is flawed by a poor movement recognition and an underwhelming game system. Its atmosphere is non-existent, the opponents are more of a joke than a challenge. Steer away from that game.

If you search for "cash grab" on Google Images, chances are that you'll find a picture of Activision's Ghostbusters video game. Quickly made with no ambition nor budget, this game is a total waste of time. Ghostbusters fans, you're better off finding and playing Atari's 2009 Ghostbusters game instead.

As it feels older than the original, except for its visuals, and is full of bugs and glitches, this new version of XIII will not be fondly remembered.

We give The Quiet Man a point because it exists, and some people worked on it, but it is easily one of the biggest trainwrecks in the history of video games. Gameplay is awful, narrative is awful... nothing can be saved, and no one would ever have the patience to play it once and then download the New Game Plus DLC that includes sounds to understand something. It's just too painful.

Using an existing - mediocre- title to do a total conversion for adapting a - pretty bad - movie? Well, why not, but don't count on us to play it.

Maybe the toys and the cartoon will be a success, but this game is a shame.

With the help of the new Kinect, Fighter Within features better movement recognition, but It is very difficult to exploit the subtleties of gameplay (counters, use of the environment and super moves) when your opponent just need to hit like a nag, without thinking, to put you on the mat.

Rambo The Video Game is a complete mess... Actually, it is so crappy that it could become a cult game!

Crafty didn't finish its remake of Realms of Arkania. Crafty Studios still sells it on Steam. Crafty Studios deserved to be flamed.

To cut a long story short, Postal 4 is a big joke. A joke sold for 40€. A very bad game that, as a bonus, is obviously happy to be so. There is nothing to save. It's not provocative, it's not satirical and it's certainly not "outrageously funny" as the studio tries to oversell it. In reality, Postal 4 is a dumping ground for bad ideas that are poorly interwoven and in bad taste. The whole thing is crushed under a bunch of bugs too numerous to enjoy and graphics that are too good to look at. In the end, apart from the sporadic presence of Jon St John's voice, there's nothing that could save the game from absolute ruin.

Sure, MySims SkiHeroes doesn't shine by its undeniable aura, but boot up the console and you may be surprised by the enjoyment its little planes will procure. Overall, its rather nicely done and fun to play, and even though it might not be the game everyone's looking for, both the kids and their parents could very well be surprised at how it can bring peace at home after some argument at the game store cash register.

Grand Knight History is the RPG surprise of this summer in the japanese production. One that tries to further the debate, all the while bursting free from the clichés of a genre by throwing away the story, mostly irrelevant here. Vanillaware's game doesn't look for an easy exit by making such a choice, but by focusing everything on its game system, it also succeeds, since it provides a mesmerizing pleasure to Tactical RPG and Wargames fans.

Katawa Shoujo is more of an interactive ebook than a full fledged dating sim, but by using a faire, smart, and humourous tone in dealing with its disabled characters, it takes by surprise all those who could have tagged Four Leaf Studio as a band of pervs.

A typical snack-game that starts well, and boasts a nice hard mode, but still soon becomes repetitive and boring.

Wheel of Ages is very simple to play, and the ascension of rotating wheels a good, if not original, idea. But its visuals are ugly to say the least, its music nerve breaking, and the level design doesn't succeed in keeping the interest of the player for long.

A feminist interactive novel that will probably change the way you read the great classics to your children, but nothing that will change the world forever. The real downside is, however, its unbelievably high price (for what it is).

A very simple yet addictive game, where you control the sun to create water by shooting through clouds, in order to water flowers you need to grow. A typical companion to play short bursts on the go, with an added value through the hundreds of flower species to collect, game after game.

The best candidate for Worst Game of 2012.
