The 17 WORST Games of 2008

The 17 WORST Games of 2008
#8: Vampire Rain: Altered Species

First Alone in the Dark became Alone in the Dark: Inferno when it was released onto the PS3 and now this? What's with horrendous video games being re-released with an additional title stuck onto its original name? Don't be fooled -- Vampire Rain: Altered Species is just as "sucky" as it was in 2007 incarnation for the Xbox 360.

#7: Sonic Unleashed

Here's a surprise. The game that was supposed to bring Sega's blue-furred mascot back to his glory days turned out to be just another straight-to-the-garbage Sonic game. We're still not happy about those terrible Werehog levels.

#6: Legendary

Legendary, a first-person shooter where you battle mythological enemies like Minotaurs, Werewolves, Golems, and other fearsome beasts that manage to crawl out of Pandora's Box, was supposed to be indie developer GameCock's big title that made the gaming world take them seriously. Legendary had some stiff competition this year with other shooter behemoths being released like Resistance 2, Call of Duty: World at War, Left 4 Dead, and Far Cry 2. But even if it were the only FPS to be released this year, it'd still be a rotten shooter that's not worth your time.

#5: Secret Service: Ultimate Sacrifice

If you thought Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare had some nasty pro-Bush/overdone "patriotic" messages snuck in there -- with its quotes from Condoleezza Rice among quotes from true patriots like Thomas Jefferson and JFK -- then get a load of this game. Not only did this game place players in the role of acting as a meat shield for the commander in chief, it played like a shooter plucked straight from the PlayStation era. In the line of fire, indeed.

#4: Hail to the Chimp

Like Legendary, Hail to the Chimp also comes from Texas-based independent game developer GameCock. And like Legendary, it also fails to deliver a gameplay experience even remotely good. Hail to the Chimp is undoubtedly one of the least fun party games we've played, making slop like Carnival Games for the Wii seem not so bad in comparison.

#3: Homie Rollerz

Who doesn't love those somewhat racist Mexican gangster figurines they sell in gum ball machines at supermarkets called "Homiez"? Oh yeah, we don't. Homie Rollerz is one part Mario Kart, one part Vato, and all parts incredibly shitty.

#2: Imagine Wedding Designer

Coming from a long line of vaguely sexist video games marketed towards female gamers is Imagine Wedding Designer for the DS. Imagine Babyz and Imagine Fashion Designer were bad, but Wedding Designer is equal parts horribly boring to play and offensive to the senses.

#1: Bus Simulator 2008

Yes, we've played Bus Simulator 2008. And yes, it's exactly as kill-yourself-boring as it sounds.

They would pick the obvious stupid looking games that never get advertised.

Dude WTF? I loved Bus Simulator! lol OK, seriously not really. I had no idea they would even allow such a horrible concept for a game. It's almost as bad as Zamboni Simulator.

It's not Homiez Rollerz; it's Homie Rollerz. I fail to see the Z at the end of Homie that you seem to think is there.
