Best: Morrowind
Worst: Halo 2

I don't know which is harder, choosing the best or the worst!

Kane & Lynch is probably near the bottom - I forced myself through half the game and it was only bloody-mindedness that got me so far. Never any real fun, quite unlike the Hitman games... I could also nominate Spore, for delivering the most half-assed game modes instead of any deep gameplay and being a big, soggy disappointment. But the worst of all (that I've played on PC, anyway) would possibly have to be Medal of Honor: Airborne - there were just so many things wrong with that game, I don't even know where to begin (though Yahtzee put it pretty nicely.) When an indie/B-game developer produces substandard drivel you can usually take it with some good humor, but when an A-list team comes out with something as confused and pointless as Airborne it's just sad.

I would also say the first TMNT game on the NES/Famicom is a pretty decent contender for worst game ever, pleasing neither fans nor anyone else with any sense of fun... It reminds me a bit of Takeshi's Castle: a game so diabolically hard that it not only stops your progress dead, but also humiliates you for not having the superhuman capacity to beat it.

As for best game, that's actually harder, now that I come to think of it... There are a lot of games I like for different reasons, and quantifying them into some coherent order is next to impossible. Morrowind is certainly up there for its incredible vision, Half-Life for its clever redesign of an entire genre, Operation Flashpoint for pushing shooters into the realm of realism, Grim Fandango for being such a beautiful swan song for those LucasArts adventure days... Gah, I can't pick, so I'll settle for the Civilization series, which has gobbled up not just hours of my life, or days, but years.

Best: Fallout 3
Worst: Gears of War 2

Oh, now that's not fair. There have been FAR worse games than ME.

Worst ever is probably that crappy truck game that wasn't even finished (YOU'RE WINNER!), worst I've played is Driv3r. Although I kinda liked it in a wierd way.

Best ever is GTA IV, if we're allowed to include DLC. Runners up are Batman: Arkham Asylum and Bioshock

I liked Shadowrun on the 360. I thought it had great multiplayer. You must have been doing it wrong.

Best Game: Morrowind. It just is. Oblivion doesn't even compare to it but Fallout 3 was almost as good.

Worst Game: Superman 64. Yup, this is still the worst game i've played.

I played a few sessions with friends as well as the tutorials but when I got online it just seemed to svck. Opinions. :shrug:

Fable 2 wasn't that bad. Once I got into it, I loved it.

Far Cry 2 was one of the biggest dissapointments ever. I loved the environment, it was the bullet sponge enemies that spawned constantly that ruined it.

Best game: The Witcher.
Worst game: Either Spore or Sim City Societies.

Agreed.

Also, Antibody, Shadowrun is awesome just because you can be a dwarf ninja. Other than that, I agree, it was pretty bad.
Not worse than Pimp my Ride though...

Yeah Farcry 2 was really overhyped, I honestly liked it but I thought it would've been alot better.

Best: Hm, probably TES III: Morrowind.
Worst: No idea.

Best game: Tenchu Z

Worst game: The Spongebob Movie game

I'm one of the few that thought Far Cry 2 was pretty decent. It was frustrating as all hell, but overall I liked it. But it definitely didn't live up to the hype, and I can see why people don't like it. But it kept me entertained for a good while.

Yeah same here. how long did it take you to complete the campaign?(first time) I rushed through it pretty quick so it was 3 days.



Umm, should I make a Farcry 2 thread?

I agree with you on Far Cry. It definitely didn't deliver what was promised, and going into the game expecting that you'll end up pretty disappointed, but take the game prima facie and it's actually a decent game! For me, it'd be:

Single player best: Devil May Cry 1 (PS2)
Single player worst: Hour of Victory (Xbox 360)

Multiplayer best: Halo 3 (Xbox 360)
Multiplayer worst: Gears of War (Xbox 360)

You all knew I'd pick Halo 3, but Gears of War might shock you. The game always was so laggy, it's impossible to get a decent snipe unless you host

I can't remember the exact amount of days it took, but I took it pretty slow so I'd say a week or two is a good estimate. It was probably shorter though. And after I beat the main campaign I kept exploring so that took a good amount of time too.



Nah, it would just be full of people saying how bad it is.

Best singleplayer: Fallout 3
Worst singleplayer: Mercenaries 2


Best multiplayer: Halo 3
Worst multiplayer: Gears of lag 2

That's a tough one. I couldn't possibly pick the best game out of such amazing games as Ocarina of Time, Half Life, etc.

So I'll just pick one:
Half Life 2 (and associated episodes). It does what few other FPS games do. It draws you into the universe. You aren't playing Gordon Freeman, you ARE Gordon Freeman. Then again, Bioshock could take this spot as well. I have not played any other FPS that sets up its universe with such careful thought, attention to detail, and awe inspiring art. That game IS art in motion, a moniker few other games could adopt.

As for worst, I'm not sure about that one too. I don't play too many terrible games because I make sure to research the games I buy heavily before I buy them, but I have played some terrible games that weren't mine. I'd have the say the worst is:
Need for Speed Underground (Wii). The controls for that game were so horrid, so terrible, that I couldn't beat the first race track. Turning was non-responsive and felt like molasses. There have been other successful racing games that take advantage of the Wii-mote's ability to sense direction, but I can safely say this game did not. Too boot, the game looked pretty terrible, and once again there are other games (like Metroid Prime 3, or Super Smash Bros Brawl) that look very good, even on the Wii's limited specs.

Best nominees: Any TES game, Sims 1, Medal of Honor Frontline, Chrono Trigger, Wario Land 3, or Pokemon Red

Worst nominees: Medal of Honor Rising Sun may not be the worst, but it was a huge disappointment, especially because it came after Frontline. Frogger Adventures: Temple of the Frog was awful, can't believe I wasted $35 on it when it was released. James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing was a disappointment, even if it was well-received.

Best: Hard call considering the opposing genres of games -- but the one I will never get rid of from my game collection will forever be Abe's Oddysee/Exodus. I love it.

Worst: World of War Craft -- Waste of a perfectly good free trial.

Best: Fallout 3/GTA4
Worst: I tend to read a lot of reviews to ensure I don't buy crap games, but Halo 3 was rather dull, uninspired and generic, and certainly doesn't deserve the hype.

Best Games: DOOM, Resident Evil 2, Morrowind, Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising
Worst Games: Shellshock 2, Wolfenstein (Newest one), Vampire Rain

the worst? me and my cousin rented superman 64

the best? hard to say, probably oblivion, or resident evil 4 i also liked the gta games and saints row,(yah i know how lame the gangsta crap is but its fun as hell to blow stuff up)
