    This third-person shooter is a trip into hell.

    Rather than pull you into the supernatural drama it tries to author, Dark devolves into unintentional comedy, the ridiculously bad dialogue and hilarious artificial intelligence inspiring fits of laughter. This game is both insane and inane, but at least its overall stupidity gives you something to cackle at.

    While much of Duke Nukem Forever is embarrassingly bad--the kind of game you point and laugh at--its biggest problem is that it's so tedious.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    The frustratingly bad physics in Totaled! make the game a thoroughly unentertaining experience.

    The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor has all the right elements, yet it still manages to do everything wrong.

    A year after its disastrous debut on the Xbox 360, Vampire Rain is still a pain in the neck.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    This mindless hack-and-slash action game starts out feeling tired and repetitive and only goes downhill from there.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    With nonsensical dialogue muddling the complex plot, Lux-Pain shows how an entire experience can be ruined by poor localization.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Only slightly less painful than getting your brain removed through your nose.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    WALL-E's finicky camera and repetitive gameplay make this one lousy robot adventure.
    • 44 Metascore

    While the console versions were merely mediocre, the PSP version of Beowulf is as aggressively wretched as Grendel itself.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Has virtually no lasting value whatsoever and just isn't much fun to play even as long as it lasts.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    This archaic first-person shooter is lousy to its core.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Although it features reasonably unique character designs, interesting concepts, and a huge explorable world, Legend of Alon D'ar fails in execution with substandard quality in nearly every respect.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Past these cutting-edge visuals, however, there's nothing left but a simple run-and-jump platformer--and it's a bad one at that.

    This third-person shooter is a trip into hell.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Driver: Renegade 3D's solid driving mechanics are squandered on overwhelming repetition and poor production values.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Broken controls destroy any fun that could have been had in this arcade boxer.
    • 52 Metascore

    A bevy of problems ensures that South Park: Tenorman's Revenge is a tedious ordeal even for those who love the television show.
    • 49 Metascore

    Broken, buggy, and boring gameplay leaves Mercenaries 2's world in flames.

    This movie-licensed World War I dogfighter takes off, stalls, and nosedives straight into the ground.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Just because a game seemingly aims to be bad on purpose doesn't make it any less of a bad game.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    This platformer based on the Star Wars cartoon TV series tries to copy the Lego game formula but gets just about everything wrong.

    This third-person shooter is a trip into hell.

    If Rock Revolution came out two or three years ago, it might have been revolutionary, but in 2008, it's not even relevant. Uninspired presentation, a tiny tracklist that includes no master tracks, a complete lack of vocal support, uninteresting gameplay, and a barebones Career mode are just a few of the many ways in with Rock Revolution fails.
