No matter how starved you might be for old-timey role-playing, give The Legend of Candlewind a wide berth. This is a terrible, aggravating experience bound to disappoint you no matter how much you might want to relive the glory days of Eye of the Beholder.

Somewhere along the line Sega lost sight of what makes the series work. Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric has a laundry list of problems, and not just problems inherent to the modern Sonic franchise, but failings of basic design.

Much like Gollum's quest for the One Ring, my quest to complete The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was full of endless setbacks, impossible odds, and ever-increasing levels of madness. And, like Gollum, my journey was doomed from the start. So if the developers' main goal was to really put you in the shoes of such a pitiful, unloveable character faced with constant pain and suffering at every turn, they were at least successful at that.

Terrible AI and indecipherable dialogue are just two of the many problems afflicting this zombie shooter.

This dreadfully boring, expletive-filled, extremely short shooter is an absolute rip-off.

An unfinished, broken mess of a tactical shooter that offers not even one redemptive bright spot.

Childish minigames and saw-it-coming plots make NCIS a mockery of its TV inspiration.

A disaster in just about every imaginable fashion. A few patches may yet round it into some kind of playable shape, but right now this is simply another cookie-cutter RTS loaded with serious bugs and unfulfilled potential.

An unplayable, buggy mess.

Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine is a disgracefully bad attempt to capitalize on the popularity of Iron Chef.

As a team-based shooter with vehicles, the game strives to recapture the magic of "Battlefield 1942" in a sci-fi setting but fails miserably.

A horrific display of ineptitude.

About as incoherent and obnoxious as the ramblings of a bored frat boy who's holding an empty six-pack and a boom box, except with Nightcaster II, you have to pay $40 to be subjected to it.

Land of the Dead fails to deliver even the most garden-variety of zombie-killing thrills, due to its inept combat, awful visuals, and cripplingly stupid artificial intelligence.

An unplayable mess of a game; it feels like a really bad amateur mod that was released before it was finished.

You can pass through most of the game in this way without ever having to fight, which means that Arthur's Quest is either an action game with an exceedingly poor design or a fast-paced, arcade-style coward simulator.

If you have the misfortune of playing Mini RC Rally, you can at least find solace in knowing the next game you play won't be any worse.

A huge mess of a game that is riddled with grievous bugs, badly designed in every measurable capacity, and completely lacking in any conceivable dimension of fun.

One of those curious amalgams of a migraine-inducing interface and relentless number crunching, a program so needlessly complex that you can't bring yourself to call it a game.

Pimp My Ride was shoddy enough as a console game, but the PSP version goes that extra mile and makes it completely unplayable.

More punishment than game. No matter what the box says, this isn't so much a fantasy role-playing game as it is a medieval torture device right up there with the rack and the iron maiden.

In short, the game plays like an unfinished product rushed out the door and has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

It's hard to imagine that anyone would want his or her name prominently displayed on such an abysmal game, especially one whose only distinguishing feature is that it's actually even worse than the awful game that preceded it, a contender for worst game of last year, Elite Forces: Navy SEALs.

Just an absolutely broken mess of a game...One of the most atrociously unplayable games to come along in quite some time.

NRA Gun Club's awful gameplay and presentation make it an effective though unintended antigun message: Guns are boring.

Downright painful to play...utter garbage that should be passed up without a second thought.

Revelations 2012 is garbage, and you shouldn't play it.

Anubis II is one of the worst games ever created and fundamentally broken. If you play it, you can never get back the three hours you wasted on this unique brand of torture.

A $30 game about winning fake money by picking random numbers is awful to begin with, but a completely broken version of said game is another story altogether.

Do not play, look at, or even think about this mangled wreck of a strategy game.

Soviet gulags were probably more punishing than You Are Empty, but we're not taking any bets.

There's no two ways about it: this is one of the worst games that could ever grace your PlayStation 3.

Both games are completely devoid of gameplay, fun, and flair. Worse, they are available free for the PC.

Both games are completely devoid of gameplay, fun, and flair. Worse, they are available free for the PC.

This game is, without a doubt, one of the worst products ever released. It will eternally battle Kabuki Warriors for the title of "Xbox game most likely to make your brain explode."

One of the worst games to be released this year or any year, on the Xbox or any other platform. The fact that Microsoft's supposedly rigid approval process allowed this game to see the light of day is simply disgusting.

KISS fans will be disappointed by the distinct lack of KISS, and pinball fans will be disappointed by the distinct lack of pinball.

Outdated graphics, bad sound, lousy control, horrible technical performance, nonfunctional computer AI, terrible weapons--the game has about every problem you could possibly think of. In fact, it's difficult to imagine that Gods and Generals could be much worse than it is.

A really, really terrible game, and it always has been. In fact, it's so bad that a longer review would only give the game more validation, which it simply does not deserve.

Postal 4: No Regerts is devoid of humor and anything close to approaching fun or engaging mechanics. The only things it has in spades are constant technical issues that only compound the game's lengthy checklist of egregious shortcomings. Running With Scissors might consider this review a badge of honor, considering that the game being bad is seemingly part of the gag, but don't for a second think that Postal 4 even touches the realm of "So bad, it's good." There's nothing redeemable about this game. It's a genuinely awful experience that should be avoided at all costs.

A broken scam masquerading as a computer game.

So astoundingly bad that it manages to transcend nearly every boundary put forth by some of gaming's absolute worst of the worst and easily makes it into that dubiously extraordinary category of being one of the most atrocious games ever published.

The game is unfinished, a chore when you can play it, and full of disgusting vitriol aimed at women and people of color. Buy a ticket for a different ship.
