    The Quiet Man
    The Quiet Man is nothing short of a shoddy, broken, incomplete, tonally-deaf chore of a few hours. Even some of the worst releases this year alone could, arguably, be deemed more ambitious and more focal to their aims (regardless of the end product/direction), but The Quiet Man doesn’t even rustle up the effort to at least try and explore its prime concept of a deaf protagonist. Worse, it doesn’t respect the players’ very presence and instead strips most of its reasoning and room for exposition away, leaving us with some of the most indulgent and confusing storytelling you’re likely to bear witness to.

    Signal to Noise
    In its current state, it’s impossible to enjoy.

    Me & My Pets 3D
    If you want to have a good time with your 3DS, however, you’d be better off smashing it with a hammer.

    R.I.P.D. The Game
    It saddens me to say that there really isn’t anything redeemable about R.I.P.D.. It’s boring, repetitive, and there really isn’t any circumstance I can think of that would make me recommend it to anyone. I could prolong this depressing review by talking about some of the game’s smaller features, but it would all be for nothing, as they are really just more garbage thrown onto the pile. And I’d much rather rid myself of R.I.P.D. by playing a better game.

    007 Legends
    Lacking a single inspired trait, 007 Legends is the kind of game released simply to bilk $60 out of uninformed gamers before a swift trip to the bargain bin.

    SPOGS Racing
    Nothing about this game is good. It's one of the most horrible games ever made.

    Super Black Bass 3D
    Fishing games are supposed to be relaxing, but Super Black Bass 3D was one of the most stressful gaming experiences I’ve had all year. Second-rate graphics, poorly thought out motion controls, bad music and some of the worst gameplay a fishing game has ever seen add up to an experience that is frustrating at best and unplayable at worst.

    Magus
    Like Birdemic or The Room, Magus is so terrible that it can only be called a masterpiece.

    Ride to Hell: Retribution
    A failed project that should have been scrapped, Ride to Hell: Retribution represents and includes everything bad about video games.

    Escape Dead Island
    Escape Dead Island squandered whatever opportunity it had to make a compelling story, while offering only sub-par gameplay to tide you over in the meantime. It has no business being a game, rather than a one-shot graphic novel for dedicated fans.

    1,000 Heads Among the Trees
    For a game that has such an incredibly interesting premise, 1000 Heads Among the Trees is utterly woeful in execution.

    Submerged
    A failure on essentially every front, Submerged is likely best left at the bottom of the ocean its overgrown setting takes place in, which is truly a shame.

    Into the Dark: Ultimate Trash Edition
    Into the Dark: Ultimate Trash Edition is not “so bad, it’s good.” It’s just bad. Very, very bad.

    Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons
    This is the video game equivalent of Rebecca Black’s Friday, something so terrible that its existence is nothing short of a miracle.

    BlackSoul
    BlackSoul takes one step forward and two awkwardly-placed steps back time and time again. What could have been an impressive homage to the horror genre ends up feeling like a soulless bargain bin find.

    The Letter
    Don’t buy this. Don’t show this to friends as a joke. Don’t even say its name out loud. This is the game that shall not be named. This needs to die an unloved death on the Nintendo eShop purchased by absolutely no one.

    Final Fantasy: All the Bravest
    This is a game with only two gameplay features: tap the screen and give Square money. It's true that the music is great and the nostalgia value is off the charts, but neither of these things justify a release that is little more than a blatant cash grab.

    Forward to the Sky
    Forward to the Sky may have wanted to reach for the skies, but it needed to dig out of the ground first.

    Tenkai Knights: Brave Battle
    If even a ounce of effort was put forward, Brave Battle could have been a guilty pleasure, but instead it wastes everybody’s time with dreadful execution.

    Fast & Furious: Showdown
    Those with even a shred of self-respect should head to a seedy truck stop, bowling alley or other similar establishment and use the forty dollars this retails for to instead play the vastly superior The Fast and the Furious arcade game.

    Weeping Doll
    Weeping Doll is the kind of game that looks like it’ll be a scary, enjoyable romp. The visuals make this home come to life in virtual reality, but that’s about the only positive note about the whole experience. Instead of providing a frightening journey, players are greeted with mind-numbing puzzles which only serve to block progression when a player forgets to check certain items.
