Let’s be honest. We’ve all been burned by bad games before. I’ve had my fair share of bad run ins with bad games, but whenever I play a bad game I always find myself reflecting on the worst games the industry has to offer. This is my list for the top ten video games ever created:

10: Rogue Warrior

I remember this game gaining lots of hype prior to its release. The screenshots and artwork for the game made me believe that Rogue Warrior was going to be an fun action packed ride.

What we got was something totally different.

Rogue Warrior is a traditional styled first person shooter that puts you in the shoes of Dick Marcinko, a real life US Navy Seal and Vietnam Veteran. The game sends players into Vietnam and Russia to attempt to avert nuclear catastrophe.

And the keyword in that sentence is “attempt,” mostly because the the mechanics of the gameplay that are supposed to make the action title fun, are actually the game’s biggest hindrance.

The bullet detection is horrendous—enemies require an inconsistent number of bullets to kill and it doesn’t help that aiming weapons nearly always ends in a seemingly inaccurate display “precision aiming.”

The cover system is broken as well. Players will take an unfair amount of damage regardless of what type of cover they are hiding behind. The game also has a melee exploit, in which players can simply use their knife to dispatch enemies without taking damage. In fact, you will actually heal during these melee executions.

The 2-hour campaign (Yes, the game was completed in as quickly as 2 hours) boasts some of the most hilariously vulgar dialogue I’ve ever heard in a video game, all delivered by the sweet, soothing voice of Mickey Rourke.

Seriously. Look up Rouge Warrior swearing montages on YouTube. You’ll thank me later.

9: Catwoman

Like the film this game is based, there’s just not a whole lot of nice things to say about it.

Horrible platforming, sloppy fight mechanics and a plot just as nonsensical as the film, this game easily makes the top ten list without needing much of an explanation why. If you’ve seen the movie, you should already know to stay away from the game.

8: Daikatana

“Daikatana. What can be said about Daikatana?” – JonTron

When Doom lead designer John Romero announced he would be making a new game with a brand new studio, droves of Doom fans rejoiced.

But it seems it was all for naught.

The game’s countless delays should have been a clear sign to consumers to stay away from this game. But did we heed the warning? Nope. Of course not.

Firstly, the game’s graphics are just horrendous. It’s almost painful to look at the game, that’s how bad it is. Muddy textures and an unappealing color scheme just make the game look sickly. And the same could be said about the gameplay.

Again, this game features poor hit detection and clunky controls. The game also features terrible sound effects and monotonous level designs.

All of these variables are thrown over a convoluted storyline, so. Yeah. Just pretend this never happened.

Can you tell I’m getting more and more frustrated as we get closer to number one? Yeah. Well. No one likes bad games. Especially gamers.

7: Bubsy 3D

Oh boy. First off, let me start off by asking, “How do you make a platforming game featuring some of the industry’s worst platforming gameplay?”

If you really think about it, Bubsy 3D is the definition of what platforming video games are: maneuvering a character through a vertical and horizontal landscapes by means of traversing platforms.

However, where Bubsy 3D fails to feel like an actual game is, well, in every other department. This is mostly because climbing platforms is pretty much all you’ll be doing in this game. That, and collecting atoms and rockets around a horrendous 3D landscape.

And it’s not even good platforming. You’ll be painstakingly trying to make Bubsy climb some of the most generic 3D platforms all while trying to utilize one of the dumbest control schemes ever placed into a video game. Bubsy, a 3-feet-tall cat, controls like a tank—think classic resident evil controls, just even worse.

What about the plot? I dunno. I’ll let you know once I find it.

Bubsy 3D is the third game in a series of games that was supposed to make Bubsy a Sega mascot like Sonic the Hedgehog. There’s a reason Bubsy isn’t around today.

Bubsy 3D killed him.

6. Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties

I feel weird even considering this game in the list, because, well, it shouldn’t even be classified as a game.

This game was released during the 3DO era, in which games were experimenting with live action segments rather that pixelated gameplay.

There is no grater symbol for how awkward and unfavorable this time was than Plumbers Don’t Wear ties.

You basically watch as a ridiculous set of events unfolds involving a plumber, an office woman and her perverted boss.

It’s weird, to say the least. And stupid. Mostly stupid, actually, seeing that the entire game makes no sense whatsoever and its existence in the gaming market is entirely questionable.

5: Sonic ‘06

Ever wonder what an unfinished game with little-to-no play testing looks like?

Sonic ’06 is that game.

Simply put, this glitchy mess of a game is infamous for being one of the worst games in history.

Tissue-paper thin story combined with frustrating boss battles, horrendous level design, brain dead enemy A.I. and a contradictory element or realistic vs. cartoon style make this a clear winner for anyone’s top 5 worst game list.

The Sonic franchise has been on the downward spiral for quite some time now and Sonic ’06 was the starting point for that depressing tumble down into mediocrity.

4:  Charlie’s Angels

Are you a fan of the early 2000’s film franchise? No? I’m not surprised. But, if you are one of the few people who actually enjoyed the movie, then the video game adaptation of the films might bring some entertainment.

Wait. Now that I think about it, probably not.

Simply put, Charlie’s Angels is a mess. The game features the actual cast from the films to voice the Angels. But that doesn’t add any quality to the game considering their performances are so dry and the script is so terrible.

The story is just nonsensical. The plot involves someone stealing the Statue of Liberty after a city-wide blackout.

WHAT?

But the worst part of the game, again, is the gameplay. The game plays out like a beat ‘em up to the best of its ability. The animations, hit detection and overall combat are laughably bad.

There’s nothing redeeming about this game. It has no charm, offers little fun and seems like nothing more than a licensed cash grab. Pure and simple.

3: Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis

Now we’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Let’s be honest here—Aquaman is nobody’s favorite superhero. So why would anyone want to play a game about him?

More importantly, why would anyone want to play a bad game about him?

Firstly, the game’s dull plot is illustrated with equally dull still-frame comic strips.

The combat is a joke. You are forced to fight underwater baddies in hand to, um, hook combat. All of the battles are so drawn out and it’s not like Aquaman’s moves are flashy and he doesn’t even use any of his powers, which is odd because, after all, he’s in his home turf.

All in all, Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis is probably the most boring game in existence, and that’s why it’s got the number 3 spot on my list.

2: E.T

There’s a reason all of these countries were thrown down a landfill and buried for over 30 years.

Firstly, and most importantly, this game makes no sense. There is no real indication of what you’re supposed to do in the game.

It’s dull, unintelligible and nearly unplayable. You’ll fall into holes a countless number of times before even gathering a clue of what you’re supposed to do.

E.T. is a monotonous travesty of a game that was supposed to be the most ambitious project Atari had ever gotten their hands on. Instead, This game is probably the main reason Atari rests in the land of obscurity today.

1: Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing

This is it. This is the lowest the gaming industry has ever stooped.

What is a game that doesn’t even follow the simplest principles that make a game…well…a game? What happens when an entire game is a glitch?

The perfect example of this is Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing. Big Rigs a racing game involving 18-wheelers and the such. Obviously this game was designed to be your generic racing game, but there is nothing normal about this racing game.

You’ll be driving your truck through buildings, lampposts and other objects in the scenery that might as well not even exist because your truck will just glitch right through them.

What’s even more hilarious is the physics. You can drive your rig up mountain ranges and your truck will never even drop in speed. In fact, in some cases your truck will even speed up going uphill.

Also, your truck will travel faster than the speed of light if you drive backwards.

Seriously. Your truck will literally blast outside of the world map into infinite gray game space.

Honestly, this shouldn’t even deserve to be called a game. It doesn’t matter if you win any of the races and the mechanics pretty much let you do whatever you want so there is no challenge. It is clear that absolutely no quality control was applied to this game.

This is a game that must be seen to be believed. It’s just so bad. So bad, in fact, it tops my list as the worst game ever made.
