I tend to avoid bad games usually. Lost: Via Domus is probably the worst that I actually bought (though it was only $6).

Shh! Don't say that! You'll get banned! Oh wait, this isn't Blu-ray.com.

Heavy Rain has great mood and a solid concept. But it's still very rough around the edges and the story doesn't really stand up to any real scrutiny. It's still good and I don't regret purchasing it but it's grossly overrated.

I'm glad I really only play the big releases. I don't think there's been a game I played this generation I really disliked, although there's a couple that I purchased and never really caught my interest (Red Dead (blasphemy, I know) and RAGE).

Yeah, I'm going to pick what's considered one of the best video games of this console generation and tell people it's the worst! Yeah, that's what I'm going to do! I'm going to show those virgins! I don't purchase bad games because I'm better than you!

It would be a toss-up between Aliens: Colonial Marines and Duke Nukem Forever. Games that were anticipated by many for years and 2K dropped the ball on both of them. Aliens: Colonial Marines is borderline unplayable whereas Duke Nukem Forever looks and feels something we should've seen during the sixth-generation.

Ok, I take back my reply. Duke Nukem Forever was probably the shittiest, although even that game I thought was overly criticized and wasn't that terrible.

Re: Worst game this generation: Hail to the King baby

I only have maybe a dozen or so PS3 titles as I came very late to the game, pun intended. We picked up the PS3 as a blu-ray player and then some of you weirdos made me play Warhawk and then I got hooked on games. So that's my context for this answer:

Rage - I picked it up on a TRU clearance sale for $9 and had to put it down about two hours into it. I liked the storyline, graphics, and play control. Even my wife was intrigued enough by the storyline to watch the cut scenes while on the couch reading. But I got severe motion sickness playing it. I don't know, something about the frame rate or how smooth all of the movement was combined with the color palette. I had a headache from about ten minutes in and it just got progressively worse to the point I was nauseous and almost threw up. I know it wasn't a fluke because I tried the game two other times and it happened almost immediately both time.

In terms of games I've played and just plain didn't like, I enjoy the company of DVDTalkers on COD:MW2 much more than the game.

We miss you and MW2 too. A night is needed to roll some MW2 again.

I played MW2 more on Steam rather than 360 (like the CoD games that followed) and I'm sure I spent more time goofing off and pissing people off with my friends than actually playing the game.

That's why I love Team Fortress 2 so much. It's a great game that's made even better if you can find an awesome community to play it with.

Origami was playing it some this weekend and didn't end up in any hacked lobbies. Wonder if they've gotten bored or given up.

I clearly stated why I chose it as the 'worst' game, and it's not because I think the game itself is bad. I played it a lot.

I think a lot of us old school adventure gamers give it a pass because we simply haven't had any excellent, serious minded adventure games since Longest Journey and Syberia. I still want another Phantasmagoria or Gabriel Knight style game (sans FMV)

Telltale's episodic games are a start, but they're still lacking. Gray Matter was ... lacking.
