If Big Rigs is the alpha, I think E.T. for the 2600 is the omega. It was so notoriously bad for a high profile game that it was the straw that broke the consumer-confidence-camel's back and sent the entire videogame industry into straight line plummet in the 80s before Nintendo brought in the NES defibrillator paddles to jolt everyone back to life.
102 worst video games of all time
Re: 102 worst video games of all time
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Big Rigs hold the special honor of being the only single digit metacritic rated game on all of metacritic?

Re: 102 worst video games of all time
I was about to type up an angry post about the Peter Jackson's King Kong entry...until I realized they were talking about the portable versions. That was the only thing on the list that jumped out at me
I think Halo 3 really was put on there as a joke. Even if you don't like the Halo series, none of them are THAT bad.
Also, I played Yo Noid too and agree it was a good game. I never played the Michael Jordon game, but it has an article on HG101 and the author thinks it's pretty good. Not much else on that list I felt the need to comment on. They did a fairly good job

Super Columbine Massacre RPG was hilarious. It was free, and some guy made it. Not some huge corporation or any team of people, just some guy.
Of course, it was in about as bad taste as a game can be.

Fuzion Frenzy 2.
Really? The 51st worst game ever? Might not be that good, but hard to call it bad. It's just average.

I've played 1 of them, Yaris. I was ignorant; I had never heard of its evil and I saw that it was free.
I've also played Halo 3, but that doesn't count.
