    Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal
    Unfortunately Acme Arsenal never really delivers. The gameplay is repetitive and bland, never really offering a great deal of enjoyment. One of Bug’s quips as he topples enemies in the game is, “now this is fun.” We’re sorry Bug’s, but you’re sorely mistaken.

    GoldenEye: Rogue Agent
    The DS version of GoldenEye: Rogue Agent was doomed from the start, given the terrible game upon which it was based.
    • 56 Metascore

    Viva Pinata: Party Animals
    Party Animals is one of the worst mini game compilations released in the past few years. The game is a sad moment for the franchise.

    Zombie Wranglers
    It looks nice, but even for kids, it's not terribly deep or interesting. You could do a lot better.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Elements of War
    Elements of War has hardly any redeeming features to make it a worthy recommendation, and with all the high quality RTS titles already out for PC it is easily overshadowed.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Rango
    Rango is a highly recommended game on the Nintendo DS if you're interested in masochism or sleep.
    • 40 Metascore

    Emergency Mayhem
    Emergency Mayhem features poor driving and very average mini games - this is a title that is worth avoiding.
    • 27 Metascore

    The Mark
    If the developer’s purpose was to make an outdated and terribly dull game, then they succeeded.

    Maelstrom: The Battle For Earth Begins
    The bottom of the barrel for real-time strategy games.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack
    Do your childhood memories a favour by not playing this.
    • 61 Metascore

    Namco Museum 50th Anniversary
    Just a quick cash-in designed to appeal to those who once held the Namco collections in high regard. This is one of the worst compilation titles released in recent years.
    • 36 Metascore

    Kung Fu Rider
    While PlayStation Move undoubtedly has a lot of potential, Kung Fu Rider is one of the worst possible titles to show any of it.
    • 47 Metascore

    Call of Juarez: The Cartel
    A once respectable franchise has been irreversibly tarnished by this steaming turd known as Call of Juarez: The Cartel.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Hammer & Sickle
    Another potentially cool game completely obliterated by terrible execution.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
    The only thing fantastic about Rise of the Silver Surfer is the record time you'll make travelling to the store to return it.

    World Series of Poker
    A severe disappointment. The AI makes such ridiculous decisions that it feels like the decisions are just made randomly.

    And 1 Streetball
    Honestly, some fanatical b-ballers could probably have an average night of fun, but possibly only if fueled by copious amounts of alcohol.

    Spikeout: Battle Street
    Sega dropped the ball on this one. Don't touch it unless you need to cure insomnia, and even then, there are ways that are more readily available and are better for your health.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Brothers in Arms: Double Time
    Brothers in Arms: Double Time contains two dated World War II games that have actually fared off worse in making the transition to the Wii. This is a compilation you will want to avoid.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Sonic the Hedgehog
    One of the worst games of the year and an insult to the original Sonic game.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Power Rangers: Super Legends - 15th Anniversary
    Poorly executed, poor AI and highly repetitive. Even die-hard fans will find it difficult to get enjoyment out of this title.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Rampage: Total Destruction
    You would think that they could have done a better job than this. A free roaming 3D affair – think GTA but with a giant – wouldn’t have taken a whole lot more effort, and could actually have been an amusing little distraction. Instead, the developers have opted for half-assed 3D, and it doesn’t do the game any good at all.

    Crash Boom Bang!
    A dull and poorly designed game. The mini-games are boring, you can't save in-game and you'll be waiting around a lot of the time. This is just a quickly rushed license title.

    Legend of the Dragon
    It's not outright broken, but is so bland and generic that unless you love the show it's not even worth playing, let alone buying.

    Open Season
    Save your money and take your kid to the zoo.
    • 38 Metascore

    Burnout Legends
    Saying that the DS version of Burnout Legends is bad is quite generous. Abomination is a much more fitting word.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    50 Cent: Bulletproof
    A below average game that feels like it has been developed to turn a quick buck.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Monster Trucks DS
    If it isn't clear by now Monster Trucks DS is a terrible title that feels like nothing but a cash in.
    • 39 Metascore

    Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
    An abysmal, close to unplayable mess.

    Big Mutha Truckers
    They didn’t really try and they failed almost beyond comprehension. Just put Mario Kart back into your DS slot and if you have one handy, use one of those Men in Black memory erasing devices on yourself so you’ll never have to relive the horror that is Big Mutha Truckers for the DS.

    Hour of Victory
    A broken game that isn't recommended to anyone. Stay well away.

    Family Guy
    If you are a fan of the series, you would need to have never played any other games over the last ten years for this to come across as impressive.

    Whac-A-Mole
    When you take the physical activity and cheap, tacky prizes out of Whac-A-Mole, you're left with virtually nothing.

    Retro Atari Classics
    An outright travesty.
    • 28 Metascore

    Ping Pals
    Ping Pals is like paying for a trial sample of chips, you get the same thing, but you paid for it.
    • 46 Metascore

    Predator: Concrete Jungle
    By creating this absolute mess of a game, Eurocom have done a great disservice to themselves and fans of the franchise. Avoid at all costs.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Big Beach Sports
    As satisfying as a sand-ridden shoe, without the fortunate side effect of having gotten some fresh air. Take a ball to the local seaside shingle instead.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Final Fight: Streetwise
    An insult to anyone who enjoyed the original arcade game.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 15 Critic Score
    Crime Life: Gang Wars
    There's just nothing even slightly likeable in the game – players are more likely to have fun banging their heads against a wall or cleaning rubbish on a highway than they'll have with Crime Life.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 15 Critic Score
    State of Emergency 2
    State of Emergency 2 is worse than its predecessor and has almost no redeeming features. We're hoping this is the end of the franchise because the gameplay is seriously outdated.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 15 Critic Score
    Quantum Theory
    Quantum Theory is a disgrace to the video game industry.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 15 Critic Score
    Alvin and the Chipmunks
    Alvin and the Chipmunks is a terrible, terrible game. Nobody should have to endure the title.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 15 Critic Score
    Fight Club
    Playing Fight Club should be considered an act of masochism.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 15 Critic Score
    Mario Party Advance
    Lazy, downright idiotic design coupled with a staggering lack of ideas. Awful.

    AFL Challenge
    AFL Challenge is a dud of the game that not even an AFL fan would enjoy.
    • 28 Metascore
    • 10 Critic Score
    Jumper: Griffin's Story
    Jumper: Griffin's Story is not only one of the worst movie to game adaptations we've ever played, it's quite simply one of the worst games ever.
    • 28 Metascore
    • 10 Critic Score
    Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
    Borderline unplayable thanks to its horrid graphics, and the gameplay does nothing to inspire anyone to even attempt to persevere through its short yet inexplicably dull set pieces.
    • 12 Metascore
    • 5 Critic Score
    Elf Bowling 1 & 2
    The Elf Bowling games are so utterly simplistic, tedious and pointless that we are not sure if it should be legal to expect people to pay money for them. The fact that Ignition Entertainment thought that they could make money off such a piece of software is an insult to humanity. Nobody could possibly be stupid enough to pay money for this game.
