The sprite animation of Astro Boy reminded me of the GBA game which is excellent so I can understand being super disappointed by the DS one if it were much worse than that
By the developer of Space Channel 5 for GBA, if a fan Wiki page can be trusted. Their most recent work is Kotodama: The 7 Mysteries of Fujisawa, a visual novel which scored an impressive 30 out of 100 at Nintendo Life. Impressive in the sense that I've never seen them score one that low before - how do you manage to mess up a visual novel?
22 for me. Just had the worst winter in my memory. I had a rear wheel drive mustange, couldn't go anywhere. Ended up trading it for a front wheel kia. We had 5 feet+ snow in an area where it's rare to get more than a foot. Never shoveled so much snow in my life.

@Scott Hardle The series had a successful reboot involving a younger protagonist, before this sort of sequel destroyed the new spin-off franchise. Reviews for Magna Cum Laude were extremely mixed (75-25%), but those who enjoyed the humor (Like Gamespot) were big fans. It was apparently Sierra's last game, but the series creator had nothing to do with it and has disowned the title. Also, apparently, there were two new games with the original protagonist released recently, plus a remake of his first adventure... I guess there's a fanbase for this. Looking over their comments on UA-cam, it's a small but dedicated mix of the nostalgic, plus die hard adventure gamers, indie hipsters, and the usual edgelords and edgeladies who just like all the dirty dad jokes and the idea that they're potentially offending someone, somewhere. Really, it doesn't seem any more ridiculous than half the other ways videogames have handled sex and relationships. Not for me, but it's always weirdly wholesome to check in on a smaller fanbase that doesn't spend all their free time arguing with each other.
Fun facts about Tunnel Rats: It’s one of Uwe Boll’s very few films not based on a popular video game. It’s also his only movie with positive reception. That means that, rather than Uwe Boll making a crappy movie based on a good game, a crappy game was made based on a good Uwe Boll movie.
:( Rogue Warrior. It was going to be my first platinum. It was terrible but I wanted it bad enough that I played it 3 times to beat the game on easy,normal,hard and all I had left was multiplayer trophies. Guess what? Not 1 person played the multiplayer. All of that suffering was for naught.
i have this weird fetish you know, i really enjoy playing games like shellshock 2. i had a blast with shellshock, rogue warrior, ride to hell, def jam icon etc...
Same here. And the funny thing is, that cartoon animation of Larry's crotch exploding stuck with me WAY more than any of the heavy-handed safe sex PSAs I had to sit through in school.
I have played a ton of junk but Shellshock 2 is up there for the worst. With the lighting so low and the flash light so poor you feel like you are playing the game with a dog cone in your FOV.
What would I do for a good game based on "Stalin vs Martians"? KILL A MAN. That's right. Best videogame concept idea I've ever heard. A pity about the execution...
I feel the need to apologize. When they did the bit with Astroboy, and the cutout, all I could think was "oh no, she's gone Canadian!" South Park has ruined me! CURSE YOU, TREY PARKER AND MATT STONE! I'm so sorry Canada! It's not my fault.
If you're wondering why the DBZ evolution game looks fairly exciting to play, it's because literally everything, down to mechanics, animations and core gameplay was ripped straight from the early DBZ Budokai games. I don't know how the fuck they got away with that, still.
Surprised I haven't seen Arcadia or two worlds on these lists. My wife, bless her, thought she was getting me a good deal on games I never heard off...........nope. those pawn shoppers made 8 bucks off us for those 2 games.......and I'm ashamed now
I got 100% on Rogue Warrior and Leisure Suit Larry from this list.... Rogue warrior was incredibly bad but Leisure Suit Larry in particular is so bad that it's beyond comprehension. If I were to be forced to describe it, I would say that it is like a physical manifestation of a lovecraftian eldritch horror in video game form.
At least the two more recent LSL entries (the "Wet Dreams" games) were surprisingly decent. Not great, but they were much more true to form and weren't actively offensive to play. And even had a few laughs.
Box Office Bust wasn't that bad, it had some good voice acting and some genuinely funny dialogue, gameplay was OK but unspectacular, biggest problem is the game's difficulty curve is all over the place.
I have a confession: I've been waiting for the "Worst Games" lists for the specific years I spent in professional games criticism. My first full year was 2009, and I actually was one of the proper reviews for Dragonball Evolution. And... yeah. Dreck. Fun to write the review though, writing reviews for BAD games is so much more fun than writing reviews for GOOD games.
@@Gatorade69 Oh no worries dude, I know. But I am one of the seven people that paid to see the movie in the theater for reference for the game… so I’ve made some poor decisions in my life. 🤣
That last leisure suit larry game really is horrible. Aesthetically vomit inducing and broken rubbish that should not be considered a reflection of the earlier games which were smutty and very much of their time, but had a certain charm about them. This game had Tom Arnold. Nuff said.
Funny how Tunnel Rats had a film starring Nate Parker and then Shellshock that was next on the list had a character called Nate Walker. Any coincidences?
When you see some of these terrible games and suddenly think fondly of your average for, oh I dont know, Sega 32x? Lmao! Wii and Wii U honestly were horrendous video game consoles. Now, Wii was an incredible FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT console, yes. But as a purely gaming console? No, I mean it wasn't even HD which PS3 and Xbox360 were, it's controls were often... well, just horrible. And the cool factor of motion controls often turned into games being just frustrating to play. So it's no surprise constantly seeing Wii and Wii U games on these lists, and even when the games came out on other consoles with higher ratings!
I have Dragon Ball Evolution on PSP and to be honest while bare bones it's not that bad to play but that's probably because it uses the Shin Budokai engine
I sure there was some SNES (or maybe even an older system) game based around Volvo's crash test dummies. That was crap too. Can't believe they tried again
there was an Incredible Crash Dummies game on NES...I remember renting it back in the day, even remember the cartoon & actually had some of the action figures too
8:43 Dick Marcinko fan girl huh? You might want to get Rogue Spear going on PC and install the Rogue Warrior total conversion mod. This is how I was introduced to the novels, it provides two campaigns with briefings from Marcinko himself, side missions lifted straight out of the imagination of Green Team or Designation Gold, you get most all the characters from the books as squad members, and the tactical shooter is clearly what R3bellion wanted to make but much better. Speaking of Tom Clancy Wildlands is the best Rogue Warrior game never made. Hands down. Nomad looks like Marcinko, he definitely swears like him. Mickey Rourke is awesome but tried too hard to imitate the SEAL legend as a brutish thug. And you can easily edit in Trace Dahlgren, Tiffany, Steve Hartman, Al Trembly, Tommy Tanaka, Dan Capel (or alternatively Jill Valentine, Jane Kelly, John Clark, Hannibal Smith, Chris Kyle and David Boreanaz) and impersonate The A Team playing out the plot to Clear and Present Danger, then when you're bored of that play with Rainbow Six, hunt the Predator and team up with The Punisher. Seriously.
Shellshock 2 wasn't THAT bad IMO, I found it enjoyable. As for Tunnel Rats, i'd argue it wasn't in poor taste, I found it refreshing that the main character was unlikeable, and that ear thing was i'm pretty sure supposed to be a reference to the 1992 film Universal Soldier where Dolph Lundgren's character carries around a necklace of human ears. The film was also actually really good and Boll had nothing to do with the video game whatsoever.
A tip for Triple Jump. In lists pre-1996 - please don't use Gamerankings or Metacritic. They weren't that many critics back then and games like Gex which are okay, but not "worst of" get included because of that.
I was gonna say "Falling Stars" on the PS2 but I can't remember if it came out in 2008 or 2009. Either way, the game is absolutely horrible 🤣🤣 and it even came on a blue CD and not the usual DVD format lol.
Been a fan of Triple Jump for a couple of years now, and I am sure Ashton is a very lovely woman, but I just can't stand her voice. Sorry, sue me, whatever, but it's just how I feel.
This was a good vid.thanks
You're welcome
How could you mention Rouge Warrior without the swearing? It's easily the most infamous part of the game.
Sadly IIRC, he stops the ridiculous swearing after the third mission of so, then you're just left with a very mediocre game.
"Rock and roll madafaka, rock and roll!"
@@EarthboundX '' a very mediocre game"' Youre being really generous. lol.
@@williamgregg6339 I've played so many bad games in my life, so my game rating curve I'm sure is much different than most people's, lol.
@@EarthboundX -I wanted to say ''I didn't know the game was that good''. LOL.

2009. I turned 18, started my undergraduate studies. Damn, where has the time gone.
Really enjoying this series, keep up the great work!
23 for me...
Seems yesterday
Did you pass?

Does that mean your 30 now? Scary thought.
Me too I was about 20/ 21 yrs old in 2009 and feel same way. I could have been one of your peers because I was 20 for a good portion of 2009.
NBA Unrivaled looks like a worse version of NBA Jam, which came out in 1993...
I'll never forget all the Crash Test Dummies toys and all the missing pieces once you actually played with them!
And the award for pronouncing a dragonball attack the worst possible way goes to... Ashton from triple jump. Conglaturations
I mean she tried 😅 I can’t pronounce it so I call it Goku’s famous move
Like... it has to be intentional right? Or is it just a British thing?

Aaaaand they just did :D
Let's not forget that it was thanks to Modern Warfare 2 that we now pay $60 for new games. Fuck that game
I'm amazed people were still persisting with Lesuire Suit Larry in 2009, who was the target audience at that point?
I had a mate whose girlfriend used to play the one set in a college around that time. It was bloody awful

That means that, rather than Uwe Boll making a crappy movie based on a good game, a crappy game was made based on a good Uwe Boll movie.
What's worse than watching an Uwe Boll film? Probably playing a movie tie in game based on one.
Just missed the top ten: Damnation (PS3) and TMNT Arcade Attack (DS).
Substandard sports game? I thought 99% of sports games were substandard.

I got worried it was gonna be Astro Boy on the ps2 on the thumbnail 🤯 love that game
A game based on a movie by Uwe Boll, one of the worst and most creatively bankrupt directors in history. Ja, that was NEVER gonna work.

A shame that Astro Boy game wasn’t great, especially since Omega Factor for the GBA was such a good game.
Let's see how many games I bought and later I trashed it
Honestly. Dragonball Evolution wasn't half bad, it was like an awkward mashup of Dragonball and Dragonball Z.
