Worst Game Everyone Played

Flash Player 9 is required to watch this video.

Sad as it is, a fact must be faced: People buy bad games. Not just small sects of the gaming audience, either. Lots and lots of people buy lots and lots of bad games every single year. Slap something or someone popular on the box and compare it to GTA, and people buy it up like it was going out of style. How else can you explain something like a million people buying 50 Cent: Bulletproof last year? In fact, it is in Mr. Cent's honor that we present this award this year. It's about time that somebody called out the game-buying public for sinking dollars into these middling-to-awful pieces of work, leaving quality products on the shelves to rot into obsolescence. For shame.

Red Steel (Wii)
Publisher: Ubisoft Developer: Ubisoft Paris

Red Steel is the second-best-selling of all the Wii launch titles. Shame it's one of the lamest games available for the system.

Publisher: Majesco Games Developer: Appaloosa Interactive

Over 250,000 people bought copies of Majesco's near-broken GTA-with-a-shark game. That's roughly twice what Psychonauts has sold across all platforms in two years. Way to send the right message to publishers, people.

Scarface: The World Is Yours (Xbox, PS2)

Publisher: Vivendi Games Developer: Radical Entertainment

It's not that Scarface is exceedingly terrible or anything, but that something like a million people bought this cheeseball, movie-licensed GTA knockoff is a painful thought to bear.

EA hasn't proven it can make a good next-gen basketball game yet, but people are still buying this clunker in droves.

Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting (X360)

Publisher: Capcom Developer: Sensory Sweep

Hyper Fighting is one of the greatest games ever made, so it's unsurprising that it would be one of the fastest-selling downloads on the Xbox Live Arcade. Too bad it's a lousy emulation and the highly-touted online play has never worked quite right.

True to the fiction in every respect, this is the game based on the Superman universe that fans have been anticipating for decades. From excited citizens to the traffic on the streets, every detail of this vibrant city has a mind of its own. These 80 square miles are brought to life for the first time in a videogame. Go anywhere and do anything in Metropolis as Superman. Non-linear gameplay allows you to explore and play the game exactly how you want to at your own pace. Where and how you fly – to the top of skyscrapers, dodging elevated trains – is completely up to you, since gameplay is designed as a true open world experience. With notorious villains like Metallo and colossal challenges only Superman can overcome, you must navigate the Man of Steel to monitor and protect Metropolis from destruction. Three distinct types of gameplay — Flying, Rescue, and Combat — will keep the action constant and the challenges relentless. Play both film-inspired missions as well as original content created exclusively for the videogame. Graphics, sound, and gameplay have been taken to the next level to create a Metropolis like you've never seen it, with three dimensional sound, a complete orchestra soundtrack, and Oscar-wining sound designer.
