Mario Bros 2 is a good game, just not as good as any of the others in the series. It's better than a lot of other NES games at the time however, so I wouldn't call it the worst.

Anyway, worst DS game by far: King Kong. I wrote a review on that hideous game. DON'T BUY IT. It's horrid. Worst game I've ever played.

I dunno, I'll come back to this when I've got an actual list but for now...

the worst games I own, or the least played at least-

Bomberman DS- great for multiplayer, absolutely fantastic infact. Just bad singleplayer
Timesplitters 3- ouch. They took what was good in TS2, removed it and made it an EA game.
Street Fighter Alpha 3 PSP- No. Let down so much by the PSP screen. unplayable.
Lemmings PSP- This was not meant to exist.
Eternal Darkness- Started off good but didn't hold me.
Any 3D Sonic- Should not exist in 3D.

One game my mate showed me was 'Land of the Dead - Road to Fiddlers Green'. It was kind of like the game developers just thought the concept was hilarious or/and boring. You were a hill-billy type character that moved through a variety of locations from a hospital, the city to sewers in the most inane and pointless fashion. The puzzles were as complex as finding a switch for a door. 50 times. NEVER BUY THIS GAME.

Biggest waste of money for me was Kindom Hearts. The game had some potential in the game play but Disney ruined it. The worst part was the ending, a decent build up and then the most anti-climactic, cheesiest, lame ending ever.

Ever played Transformers: Beast Wars on the PC? I was tempted to claw my eyes out it was that bad. Just creepily bad. Uninstalled after all of five minutes...

And I agree with you 100% next years movie should redress the pain.... (especially after reading about the massive desert warfare sequence on Joblo.com... getting the Air Force in to use actual Stealth Fighters in the sequence? Awesome!!!)

Hydelide on NES. The damn game would generate passcodes (no battery backup) and every password it ever gave me was invalid! What a waste!

Oooh, and Pitfall on the Atari 2600. I never did figure out what I was supposed to be doing in that game.

I wasted an hour, just now, playing Hydelide, that game is so stupid and messed up. They made it to where you have to play for hours to progress. Thank goodness for Emulators and the turbo feature hehe. I hate that game, its so pathetic *throws it in the garbage*

EvilZone for the PS1. If you have never played it, I seriously recommend you look into it just to see how aweful it is. Graphics like Battle Arena Toshidin about 4 years into the system's life, Dubbing worse then a Gamera film, and the best part; the only two commands you could give were atttack and defend. I am not kidding.

The odd thing is, the game is so blatantly and honestly bad that me and my friends couldn't help but love it. That plus it has an Ultraman-like character in it called Danziver.

"DANZIVER!"

I had a play around on another Arnie game, the one where he's a spy. can't remember the name was top view and you could do stupid things like rolling around.

Ristar was bad too. Maybe I was expecting Sonic. But this was too slow, the gameplay mechanics were too drastic and too dull to be anything fun.

Counterstrike, the most boring game ever released. sitting in the corner waiting for your enemy to be stupid enough to make a move and walk by... such an exciting game!

Worst game of all time:

World of Warcraft.

Seriously, it's so awful that it takes away any semblance of social life that you may have had. That can't be good!
