A very interesting tidbit of information I found, the worst Videogame perhaps ever created:

First runner up for worst video game of the decade (2000-2010) and winner of the "Flat-out Worst Game" award in 2004.
Ratings:
- 3.83% on GameRankings
- 8 out of 100 score on Metacritic
- 1.0 on GameSpot
- 0.0 on Netjak
- 1.0 on Thunderbolt Games

Sad thing is the game actually sold 20,000 copies.

Hilarious article:

Hilarious video:

Apparently running the game takes 50% of your cpu somehow.

The makers of the game couldn't even write a gramatically correct victory message:

Actually, Uru is not the 4th Myst. Myst IV: Revelation is the 4th part

Oh, and I play Uru Live, you can join me if you want.
Uru release date: 2003

Myst IV release date: 2004



I've never played URU live. Is it any fun? Whats it like?

I read about that...

It was basically unfinished... to the point there was NO AI AT ALL. The opponents just sat there

I don't know why everyone hates MW2. I love that game. Seems like almost everyone hates it.

Also got Big Rigs. There actually is a patch out there which makes the oponent move... but he suddently stops 1 meter from the finish...."You're the Winner!

This brings us to another game which I also have in my possesion.... Limbo of the Lost.
This game stole EVERYTHING from EVERYONE!
A small list of games they stole from.
GameSpot Forums - Limbo of the Lost - A list of what we Know has been taken!

And here is a very good example. They didn't even remove the paintings.

Seriously.

Big Rigs Over The Road Racing - Television Tropes & Idioms
Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
Artificial Stupidity: Averted, as there is no AI at all. If you download the patch, the opponent rig will move...and then stop short of the finish line because there is no code for what happens when you lose a race. If anyone but the player happened to win, the game would crash.

Beyond The Impossible: Just how fast can your truck go in reverse? It depends entirely on how long you're willing to keep your finger on the Down Arrow.

Faster Than Light Travel: What you eventually achieve if you continuously accelerate in reverse.

Foregone Victory: You absolutely cannot lose, and even if you download the patch to make the opponent rig move it still stops short of the finish line. Even if it did somehow cross it, it still wouldn't win because there is no programmed failure state! Basically, it is literally impossible for any race to end in the player not winning.
*It gets even better! Sometimes, the game's code has trouble distinguishing between starting and finishing, so you might win the race the moment you begin.

So Bad Its Horrible: MetaCritic says, "8 [percent] -- Overwhelming dislike"
*And the only reason it's not a 0 is that some of the critics' ratings systems didn't go lower than 1. That's right, the lowest score possible on some rating systems actually brought the rating up.
*And Netjak even provided a link to the developers' website, telling the reader not to support them by buying any of their products.
*It is the only rated game on MetacCritic ever to have a single-digit score (its nearest competitor got 12).
Quote:
Although the packaging of Big Rigs states that the main objective of the game is to race their Big Rig to safety in order to deliver illegal cargo being carried by the vessel, while avoiding the local police force, in actuality, there are no police in the game, and no such objectives are presented within the game itself.

It garnered an 8 out of 100 score on Metacritic, with the only scores higher than 0 being 1, which were given by websites that did not have a 0 score,[8] giving it the lowest score of any game on Metacritic,[9] as well as an average score of 3.83% on GameRankings, making it the number one "All-Time Worst" video game on the website.

"You're Winner!" engrish strikes again

Most disappointing game for me was Final Fantasy 8, or actually, the entire Final Fantasy franchise. Never could get into the game play of it.

-50 cent game on PS2
-187 Ride Or Die: traded this piece of shiit in for Vice City stories (EB games has a policy where you can get a refund if you return the game within a week)
-Killzone 2: got over it quickly, ending was just -_-
