Weak graphics and dodgy controls hamstring an already mediocre air combat game. Gamespot

4. Wiffle Ball Advance 26.0% Average

It’s funny, but just when it seems like handheld gaming has gone as low as it can, DSI pops up to plague gamers with a product even more glitchy, insulting and unplayable than their last. IGN

3. Godzilla Unleashed: Double Smash 22.9% Average
There’s really nothing good about this title that will make you want to play it. WorthPlaying

2. Deal or No Deal DS 20.8% Average

A $30 game about winning fake money by picking random numbers is awful to begin with, but a completely broken version of said game is another story altogether. Gamespot

1. Little Britain: The Video Game 16.0% Average

Absolutely appalling.

Oh, sorry. I went off a little too early there. That’s not how it goes. I’m supposed to tease the reader with a non-sequitur paragraph or two, aren’t I? Indulge in a bit of irrelevant banter, and then roll out the critical low-down. Instead I’ve swaggered up to the podium, brazen as you like, and blurted out that this abysmal collection of tenuous, far, far-below-average mini-games is quite frankly the worst thing to enter my PS2’s drive since that raw-chicken and gin incident. Oh, well. Start as you mean to go on, as they say. Eurogamer

  1. what? No lair? that game sucked.

  2. You only have to check sites like metacritic to see that is is the Wii that is home to trash that makes lair look like bioshock!
    Lair did suck but not as hard as a good 45% of cheap wii shovelware

  3. by Go PSP Downloads

    It’s incredible some of the awful ideas people have for a game… I really think these days that the game developers don’t think enough about playability.

  4. The deal or no deal game can be played freely on http://www.nbc.com/Deal_or_No_Deal/game/dond.swf without thinning your wallet.

  5. Where’s the “Desparate Housewives” games?

  6. You forgot assassins creed

  7. Where Sonic&The Secret Rings?

  8. Wow I agree all of those games were crap and good thing i never bought them ;) note:(sonic is not shit)

  9. wtf what about halo 3

  10. i know this game is not from 2007.
    but do a search on youtube for “big rigs”
    that is indeed the worlds worst game ever.

  11. Actually Sonic and the Secret Rings wasn’t “awful”. It wasn’t amazing but it was pretty decent. Assassin’s Creed was also not perfect but FAR from awful. Neither of those games are anywhere NEAR as bad as the crap on this list.

  12. where is heavenly sword,assasin’s creed,lair and pes2008?ha yes that games are somewhat better from this trush!!!

  13. Hey, let’s do a Worst Comments of 2007 while we’re at it. We can start with everything above this one.

  14. Tarryn wins ^

  15. Brunswick Bowling sucked compared to the Wii Sports game

  16. by Shroom Mclickin

    There are plenty of terrible games out there, like everything that came out for the Wii except Zelda, Mario Galaxy and Metriod prime. The PS3 dosen’t have games i can rag on not saying i like the PS3 its just saying they don’t have games. The 360 got alot of terrible games, Bulletwitch awful, Shadowrun, Condemned,Two Worlds , MADDEN ( you name the year it was TERRIBLE),Guitar Hero sucks, every movie based game sucked esp. Spiderman 3 for the 360. But i must say for all the terrible games out there we do have a shit load of good ones to make up for it.

    and Assassin’s Creed isn’t terrible it does have flaws in it but its is a decent game. People who tlk shit bout this game don’t hate the game just that it was made by a hot French-Canadian Chick. Don’t be mad that she beat you to the punch.

  17. I agree with some of the other people commenting here. I think a worst of the more popular or what were to be more popular games list would be a ton better. I mean, seriously, who gives a shit about most of the games anyway. Never heard of most of them, probably never would have if it wasn’t for this list. Plus, that kind of list would have taken more thought and probably brought more engaging thoughts and conversation with it. Way to cop out.

  18. “Hey, let’s do a Worst Comments of 2007 while we’re at it. We can start with everything above this one.”

    right on, haha

  19. Remember when Nintendo used to place their “seal of approval” on games for their systems? They should make a return to that stringent level of quality control (and don’t lie to me and say there are any NES games that AREN’T excellent!)

  20. Shovelware is usually a sign of success for a console. A lot of people will put these failures on a “Wii as a gimmick” clause, but in reality, the most popular consoles attract the most garbage. For example, the PS2 is filled with trash games.

    Combined with the Wii’s REASONABLE development costs compared to the PS3 or Xbox 360, there is the prominence of the trash. I compare this trash to the same sort of trash we are getting out of the Xbox Live arcade.

    A better list would be to select bad games only from those with the biggest budgets. Lair would then be your top pick.

  21. big shame about the shield game. as a big fan of the show…the game…was utter poop.

  22. What ?!?!?!?!? Where is Kane and Lynch Dead men

  23. one: two worlds takes a certain taste it aint pefect but it is pretty dam good
    two: what did assains creed do to u??? it kiks ass… yes it is a bit repetitive but that dont matter completly.
    three:i agree consuls that produce the greatest games also produce the world worst games… except for wi, i just dont like the wi

  24. Kane and Lynch….

  25. anything from ps3

  26. Ah, Lair wasn’t that bad. I’m surprised that Championship Sprint from the PS Store was by far the worst game I’ve ever wasted my time with.

  27. LOL, like WTF does this comment even mean??

    >>I agree with some of the other people commenting here. I think a worst of the more popular or what were to be more popular games list would be a ton better.

Plus, that kind of list would have taken more thought and probably brought more engaging thoughts and conversation with it. Way to cop out.

  28. with the exception of acme arsenel and chickenshoot…i think this list can also double for worst video game covers of the year.

  29. Yeah, the only good thing about achme arsenal is the cover. Think ill steal it and put it on deviantart, on a dumb account i made just to piss ppl off! then ppl start arguing with me saying it is official art and junk, and ill say no it not it mine! Then the dumbshits (who dont even know they are getting fooled) post links to it, then report it! the best part? it does not even get taken down. lulz xD

  30. sad to say but it really sucks…

    tnx for the info…

  31. Jesus
    “wheres Halo 3? or Kane and Lynch”
    Youre a fuck tard, seriously. Both of you.
    We’re talking about bad games, not dissapointments. Go shove a rusty railroad spike down your urethra.

  32. I would have to agree that the games listed above really are bad … but I would put Looney Tunes Acme Asenal at number 1 as the worst … complete rubbish.

  33. where is call of duty 4, bioshock, rock band, halo 3, mass effect i hated them

  34. This is amazing, darn near all the comments are people who think it is cool to hate good things. Only in crazy town is Bioshock worse than Chickenshoot.

  35. xTPPzI hi! hice site!

  36. ok to all you saying games like lair,bioshock,halo 3,mass effect, kane and lynch, and whatever else you are absolutely retarded this is a list of the lowest ranked games of the year not biggest disappoint and not if it sucks or not because thats your opinion these are games that got horrible ratings and didnt sell shit seriously lets stop being stupid

  37. I browse and saw you website and I found it very interesting.Thank you for the good work, greetings
