Line 132:
* ''[[Aquaman]]: Battle for Atlantis'', for the [[Game Cube]] and [[Xbox]], is generally considered to be one of the worst games of all time, inspiring the "Golden Mullet Awards", ''[[X-Play]]'s'' ranking of the worst games of each year. The graphics are very reminiscent to the [[Nintendo 64]] as the city of Atlantis has mostly bland grey buildings and everyone looks somewhat lifeless. Only [[Badass Long Hair|Aquaman's hair]] has any graphical effort. The missions have little variation, as you either beat up enemies (easily done by [[Button Mashing]]) or pilot an underwater ship to blow up other ships. A boring experience from beginning to end.
* ''[[Bad Boys]]: Miami Takedown'', which was released to coincide with ''Bad Boys II'' for the [[Game Cube]], [[PlayStation 2]], Xbox, and PC. It has two untalented [[Expy|expies]] of Martin Lawrence and [[Will Smith]] that manage to be worse, spouting horrible dialogue. The controls on this game are broken, and when you shoot, you are expected to have humiliating aiming. GameTrailers named this #4 in its "Worst Movie Games of All Time".
* American McGee's ''Bad Day L.A.'' manages to combine everything people dislike about video games with inappropriate [[Toilet Humor]] disguised as "social commentary
* The ''[[Catwoman (film)|Catwoman]]'' game, based on an already subpar movie, released for the [[Game Cube]], [[PlayStation 2]], and Xbox. A shaky camera angle and confusing controls do not make this a good game where you have to look for ''bling fragments''. The only apparently good thing about this game is a visual animation that shows every detail of Halle Berry's character as seen in the poster.
* ''[[Charlie's Angels]]'', released to tie in with ''Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle'', for the [[Game Cube]] and [[PlayStation 2]]. The camera angles and controls are busted on this game, and players must spend ''minutes'' moving their characters up ladders. Not to mention the graphics are terrible, with the women looking more like [[Fetish Retardant|living blow-up dolls]] than the characters they represent. It beat ''the [[E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (video game)|E.T.]] game'' to be #1 on GameTrailers' list of the "Top 10 Worst Movie Games". [http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21160.html Really]. They describe ''Charlie's Angels'' as being "degrading, not to women, not even to video games, but to humanity itself". It was named a "horrific display of ineptitude" by [http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/action/charliesangels/review.html GameSpot] and is the lowest rated video game reviewed on [http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/542019.asp GameRankings] with more than 20 featured reviews, having a score of 24.57%.
Line 201:
* ''Air Control'', a "[[Blatant Lies|flight simulator]]" that came out on PC via Steam in 2014. It's also known as one of the worst, most ineptly produced games in recent memory. Whether it's the clearly [[Obvious Beta|unfinished gameplay elements and graphics]], recycled (and shoddily slapped-on) stock Unity models, [[Mind Screw|nonsensical scenes like an airplane being underwater]], the use of actual copyrighted airline material or a host of other issues, the game was so poorly received that it had to be pulled from Steam. Here's Markiplier in particular [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7UwKGWc7gI suffering through it].
* ''Infestation: Survivor Stories'' (originally titled ''The WarZ'') is a [[Survival Horror]] MMO from Hammerpoint Interactive/OP Productions that came out on PC in 2012 under its original title; the game was removed from Steam for a time until it reemerged under its present name. An attempt to [[Follow the Leader|cash in on the popularity]] of mods like ''DayZ'', it fails not only as a [[Mockbuster]] but also as a game in every conceivable way. Be it in its myriad bugs, missing content, unbalanced gameplay, shoddy online pay scheme and promotional material that outright ''lies'' about what's in the game, there's much to loathe. Which isn't helped at all by the creators' egotistical response to criticism and the fact that said developers were also responsible for dredge like ''[[Big Rigs Over the Road Racing]]''. [[Total Biscuit]], however, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtKAm3nzg6I said it best].
* ''Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry'' (formerly ''Raven's Cry''), is a 2015 action-adventure RPG that came out on PC and the Xbox 360. Ostensibly following the exploits of Christopher Raven in the golden age of piracy, the game [[Follow the Leader|tries hard to invoke]] the likes of ''[[Assassin's Creed]] IV: Black Flag'' and ''[[Sid Meier's Pirates]]'', but falls far short of its erstwhile inspirations. Despite the effort put into creating the game and a years-long [[Troubled Production]], [[Obvious Beta|it comes across as horribly buggy and unpolished]] that even the [[Updated Rerelease]] shoved out months later ''had the same issues.'' Combined with some controversy involving the publishers rigging the game's Steam reviews with positive ratings,<ref>Which is suspected to be one of the reasons why Steam [http://techraptor.net/content/ravens-cry-removed-from-steam pulled out the game from sale for a time].</ref> the game simply does nothing to earn its price tag. Here's the [[Two Best Friends Play]] guys [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g1vZ16mnGs enduring it].

* ''Resurrection of Heaven's Liquor'' - The character artwork is even worse than in the originals,<ref>at least, the ones released before ''Undefined Fantastic Object''</ref> the music is painful,<ref>The Stage 1 song gets played in multiple levels...and it's probably the worst of the bunch</ref> and enemy fire is an afterthought at best; note that ''Touhou'' in general is famous for its [[Awesome Music|kickass score]] and [[Bullet Hell|elaborate firing patterns]]. The characters are broken, and {{spoiler|Aya}} is the final boss. Its lone saving grace is the inclusion of the Extra Bosses from the original games as player characters and {{spoiler|Mima}} as the Extra Boss.

=== Thunder Force ===
* ''Broken Thunder'' - A [[Fan Sequel]] to the ''[[Thunder Force]]'' series, the game notably involved Hyakutaro Tsukumo, who did the soundtrack for most of the official games. Unfortunately, the end result was an ill-received mess, with most bosses inanimate objects and the game itself generally [[Obvious Beta|unfinished]] such that only about 1/3 of the content according [[Word of God|to the main producer]] made it in. Some even speculate that this game may be why Hyakutaro Tsukumo was not brought back to do the soundtrack for ''Thunder Force VI.''
