    We have no idea what happened with The Fighter Within. There was probably a game here at some point, but instead we got a broken, modern day re-imagining of a game from our youth.

    A game that rips off NBA Jam so deeply and soullessly.

    GUG
    There are plenty of ways to look at GUG, and none of them are good. Is it a scam? A prank? A thinly disguised attempt at creating a botnet? Normally I’d say that it’s just a developer biting off more than they can chew, but GUG is so bad in so many ways, you almost hope that it’s because it’s a cover for something worse. Regardless, avoid this game at all costs.

    For the game to be released now amidst a store full of next generation titles on the cusp of yet another generation of consoles is laughable. For them to be charging 49.99 is just plain offensive.

    All of the glitches, random crashes and lock ups found here make me wonder how something like this gets approved for release. Don't buy, don't try, just stay away.

    Sometimes bad games can be fun, in their own warped way. Hike is not. Hike is just plain bad, boring, and totally disrespectful of players’ time. You’re better off going for an actual hike and getting the attendant health benefits than you would be spending a single cent or second on this putrid game.

    Little Adventure on the Prairie features arguably the easiest Platinum trophy ever. On the other: it’s also possibly the worst game ever. I leave it up to you to decide which of those considerations you weigh more heavily.

    Not one level that I reached in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 felt memorable or made me want to play more. It’s truly a sad day in video game history when a series like this can just become a shadow of its former self.

    I have absolutely nothing positive to say about my experience with Motorbike on PSN, and highly urge everyone to avoid this at all costs. It’s not even worth the time of the download, much less the purchase price.

    With flaw after flaw, not only is Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire the worst game on the PlayStation 3 and the worst launch title in recent memory, it's a prime candidate for worst game of the year.

    RBI Baseball is a different kind of awful: it’s a poorly-made, soul-crushing experience that shows that, several years into its rebirth, the RBI Baseball series is still no closer to becoming even remotely competent baseball game.

    This is a mediocre game at the best of times that drags itself down to being entirely horrible thanks to its own terrible choices and design, and there’s really no reason why you should subject yourself to it.

    Even if this were the most balanced game ever, even if it made picking it up and playing a breeze — ARK: Survival Evolved would still be a strong contender for the worst game on the Switch. It looks like garbage and it plays even worse, and no matter how great the intentions behind it or what crazy ambition it shows, there’s no reason why anyone should willingly seek it out and play it.

    Just about the only reason I’ll even remember Deep Space Rush is because it was a massive pain to get that last trophy. When being broken is the only memorable thing about a game, that’s probably a good sign you can — and should — give it a hard pass.

    Apathy is also the only emotion I feel towards R.I.P.D. It’s a rushed, lazy, poorly developed game that barely stands up on its own. Somehow it gets even worse with the license, bringing it into a bad licensed game pantheon alongside E.T.

    Overall, the game just doesn't work.

    Sure, it's pretty generic underneath it all, but the layering of sheer badness elevates it to a certain legendary state. Give it a rent, and let the hilarity begin at the fact everything comes off as either a really clever parody of licensed games-or one of the worst things you've ever had to play.

    On some level, I guess, Tamarin is sort of amazing, in that I can’t think of when I last played a game that was this much of an outright disaster on every level. I’ve played plenty of terrible games recently, but at least in those cases you could see what they were going for, and you could imagine what good versions of those games might look like. In Tamarin, the game is an absolute fiasco at a conceptual level. That doesn’t mean you should play it, of course, but the game gets points for effort, if absolutely nothing else..

    You've got a bunch of horrible characters "running" (for lack of a better description) around in eyeball-meltingly ugly environments, solving puzzles that veer from insanely easy to impossibly difficult, to advance a story that makes no sense whatsoever.

    There's almost something offensive about how little time was spent developing this game. And even more so, that it can be resold on eBay at practically retail. The Wii userbase is poisoning itself, because games like this continue an unsettling trend: if they call for shovelware, it will come.

    What was once a somewhat promising game, has easily become one of the worst of the year...Right up there with "Rise of the Robots" and "Shaq Fu." Stay away.

    Tokyo Tattoo Girls stretches the definition of what a “game” is, and not in a good way. The amount of content here would barely be acceptable for a free, browser-based Flash game; for a full-priced Vita release, it’s legitimately shameful.

    Basically, avoid this one at all costs; it's pretty much the "ET" of the PSP.

    Honestly, there’s nothing redeeming about Waifu Impact. It’s bad, it’s broken, and it’s boring, and there’s no reason whatsoever to play it.

    I can't think of a single positive thing to say about Buffy. It's boring, unoriginal, ugly, takes only an hour or so to finish, and falls far short of the mark. Even if you're a hardcore Buffy fan, I wouldn't recommend this sorry excuse for a game to you.

    To make matters worse, the visuals are a horrible, pixilated mess. In all honesty, they remind me a bit of Pit Fighter, for those of you that played it on the Genesis or SNES. The sound doesn't fare much better, and you'll be turning the sound off (if not the game) in a matter of minutes.

    Not only does it embrace generic design, it doesn't even care about the medium it chose to present itself in.

    There’s nothing good to be said about this game, and as much as I’d hoped that MLB The Show’s expansion to other consoles would push this series to be better, it’s very clear that’s not the case. This has to be the low point in a series of low points for the revived RBI Baseball franchise — and given how bad it’s generally been to date, that should tell you something.

    SEGA's decision to rush one of its most beloved franchises to the next-gen market has ended in a broken product that does not even deserve a rental.

    Terrible gameplay, terrible animation, terrible AI, the addition of new modes that actually detract from the original, revamped controls that manage to both suck and blow at the same time – if given a choice between playing the GBA version again or eating the cartridge, plastic and all, I’d be firing up my microwave and looking for a plate.

    Don't buy Family Party: 30 Great Games unless you hate video games and want to torture yourself and the friends who come over and play multiplayer with you.

    Everything about the game reeks of both not understanding women at all, and then not understanding how to make a game that is allowed to be naïve as long as it's full of fan service that we can get off to.

    Where the Bees Make Honey really is that bad: if I had to choose between playing this game again, and never again playing anything ever again, it would be a legitimately difficult decision. It’s nothing short of an abomination, a joyless slog of a game with no redeeming qualities whatsoever — except, perhaps, for that fleeting moment of relief when you delete it from your system storage. I truly detest it, and if I could erase every trace of it from my memory, I would do so in a second.

    Or, above all else, this: Skylight Freerange 2 is definitely not the worst game of 2016. That, uh, honour was clinched long ago by Energy Hook. But it's very, very, very close between the two games. The only reason SF2 doesn't come away with the title is because Energy Hook was a broken, unfinished mess, whereas this is, despite all appearances, a finished game. But it's still absolutely horrifying in every way, and unless you're a glutton for punishment, you'll want to avoid this one at all costs.

    I'd call it an accomplishment to play through the entire game without creatively strangling a bystander with a cable just for watching you go through the jumps of self-depreciation that Just Dance asks of you.

    I wish I just saw the screen shots, as once you download and press start, the game falls apart like a cheap suit. Oh and if for some reason you defend this game and think I'm way off base, I have some garbage that needs to be put out that you can sift through that may look interesting to you. While some of my trash may look useful, in the end, like Lucha Fury, it's just trash.
