Yes, it was like the opposite of Burnout. I had to force myself to play the game, and it was so boring I couldn't do it long. At least it only cost me $3.

Modern Warfare 2 is one of those games that I'd love to hate. It's not so bad if you have a couple of friends to play with in private matches imho.

Why would you play a game called "Hamster Heros"?

Haha in all seriousness, Chicken Shoot for the Wii comes with a rifle to put your wiimote and nun-chuck in, but to fire you use the trigger on the wiimote which is near the front of the gun barrel! And you can't map the controls. Hell, you can't even change them! I loved Nintendo back in the day, but all this CRAP ON THE DS AND Wii MAKES ME SO - oh no I've gone cross-eyed.

Yeah, at least most 3rd parties know how to develop for the DS.
Poor wii gets 10 shitty games for every semi-decent one :(
The wii is going to be the nightmare of collectors down the road. The person that has to have everything is gonna have to buy hundreds and hundreds of "Hamster games" and "EA playgrounds"

I think that what I am going to do (once the Wii is old enough) is buy all those crapware games at pennies on the dollar and break the shit out of every disc. Then some kid who's grandma bought him those games will have one of the few copies left in the world, and it might make up for the fact that his gaming experience was so pathetic.

Tag Team Wrestling (NES)

I remember buying this game for a few dollars at a garage sale back in the early 90's. Up until this point, I had unknowingly never played a bad video game. So it was almost as if they didn't exist.

That was until I brought this piece of shit home. Talk about horrible control. "Does this game even have control? Why do the wrestlers keep running against the ropes and crashing into each other like idiots - I don't get it!?

It was then that I realized the true greatness of Nintendo's "Pro Wrestling."

I don't care if one of the team's were named "The Strong Bads" and that's where "Strong Bad" from Homestar Runner got his name, or not (it's true). Tag Team Wrestling is horseshit! Let it rot in hell
"Welcome to the circus of values!"

Currently Playing: Crysis (360), Destiny demo (PS3), Roadblasters (MAME)

Same here! Although I haven't gone back to it since I sold it to FuncoLand ages ago. Maybe I'll try the version on Sonic Gems Collection someday.

I think the worst game I've ever played would have to be Automobili Lamborghini for the N64. For some reason my friend's younger brother thought it looked like a good game to buy. The most exciting thing about it was when we discovered that if you drive two cars into each other, they will slowly pass through one another. It's always a bad sign when a bug is more exciting than the actual game.
