Dubious Honors

Let's make this clear: Being nominated for GameSpot's dubious honors awards isn't really much of an honor. These categories and their nominees reflect the less-savory side of gaming, such as the most egregious use of in-game advertising, the flat-out worst game, and the least improved sequel. Sadly, there's plenty to choose from this year in just about every category, which led to some heated debates over which games truly deserve a not-so-desirable distinction.

    I personally liked the demo for F.E.A.R. 2 more than most of the original F.E.A.R.

    Some say that you stole a classic line from Top Gear to describe Resident Evil Redfield winner for most likely to fail a drug enhancement test. Props for the shout-out and boo for the impersonation.

    Excuse me, Mr. Gamespot, but could you try being FUNNY on your dubious honors, like you USED to be?

    For details, see your 2005 Dubious Honors!

    Heeeeeeeeey I really liked Bionic Commando. In fact it was one of the best games this year together with Prototype. By the way Prototype > Assasins Creed. Godfather 2 was also great. Who writes these reviews?

    The Conduit? I think Guitar Hero 5 has the worst cover ever.

    Godfather 2 is total pish compared to the first one. GH5 had the worst cover art too IMO.
