Worst Games Of 2012

[Demon_Skeith]

"We have never encountered such a low total number of great games in a single year," Metacritic stated on a post detailing the best games of 2012. This post also included the worst reviewed games in 2012—which, frankly, is the more interesting list to me. Let's take a look.

Here are the results: rank, game, publisher, and score, in that order.
Xbox 360

• 209. Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse | Activision | 39
• 210. Battleship | Activision | 38
• 211. Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor | Capcom | 38
• 212. The Expendables 2 Videogame | Ubisoft | 32
• 213. AMY | Lexis Numerique | 25

No Activision games in the top 30, two Activision games in the worst of. Insert your gripes with Activision and the industry dying (again) here.
The Xbox 360 also wins the honor of having the lowest scored game out of all of the platforms, with Amy scoring a 25.
PS3

• 173. 007 Legends | Activision | 41
• 174. Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock | BBC Worldwide | 39
• 175. The Expendables 2 Videogame |Ubisoft | 34
• 176. AMY |Lexis Numerique| 33
• 177. Smash 'N' Survive | Version2Games Limited | 31

PS3 gamers know what's up, given that the horrid 007 Legends is included. God, that game was awful.
Wii U

• 25. SiNG Party | Nintendo | 58
• 26. Rabbids Land | Ubisoft | 53
• 27. Funky Barn | 505 Games | 51
• 28. Tank! Tank! Tank! | Namco Bandai |45
• 29. ESPN Sports Connection | Ubisoft | 30

Aww, but Tank! Tank! Tank! made that one little kid cry out of happiness on Christmas!
PC

• 177. Deep Black: Reloaded | Just A Game | 39
• 178. Realms of Ancient War | Focus Home Interactive | 39
• 179. Legends of Pegasus | Kalypso | 35
• 180. Hoodwink | E-One Studio | 29
• 181. Fray | Brain Candy | 27

The PC list, perhaps unsurprisingly, is much unlike the worst-of list of consoles/handhelds. Not as many (readily apparent) shovelware.
3DS

• 51. One Piece: Unlimited Cruise SP 2 | Namco Bandai | 49
• 52. One Piece: Unlimited Cruise SP | Namco Bandai | 46
• 53. Johnny Kung Fu | UFO Interactive | 44
• 54. Block Factory | Enjoy Gaming | 42
• 55. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D | Atari | 39

You do not want to play One Piece, folks.
PS Vita

• 61. Spy Hunter | Warner Bros. Interactive | 50
• 62. Dungeon Hunter: Alliance | Ubisoft | 49
• 63. Asphalt: Injection | Ubisoft | 49
• 64. Ridge Racer | Namco Bandai | 44
• 65. Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified | Activision | 33

I had no idea a game named "Asphalt: Injection" existed, but I am not surprised it's (apparently) not good. Also, ouch, Black Ops. And that crud probably sold better than the fantastic Persona 4: Golden? Sigh.

So do you agree with the list? I know they hit it on for the number one spot on PS3.

 

[GracefulAssassin]

Yeah, a lot of those are crap. Especially 007 Legends.

 

[Demon_Skeith]

I should have gotten tales of graces f instead of legends >_

 

[GracefulAssassin]

Yup... lol I should have read the reviews first. The one time I didn't, I got 2012's worst game.

 

[J-RAY]

People should know by now that 99% of games made after a show or movie are CRAP.

Epic Mickey should be on that list though.

 

[GracefulAssassin]

I personally liked Epic Mickey. And the other Bond games were good. This one was utter shit though.

 

[fantanoice]

Why is Funky Barn there? It is the funkiest! I could have sworn it got 10/10 everywhere!

Also, some of my friends were quite keen on Tank! Tank! Tank! so I'm actually surprised that is there as well. I haven't played it so I can't comment.

 

[Demon_Skeith]

Like GA said, it was shit. I thought for sure they take the last game and build up on and with fixes and make it a lot better to play. But guess what, they didn't do a damn thing with it, hell the game was made and released in a year.

But now the company that made it shut down and is gone.

 

[GracefulAssassin]

That's what you get for making a shit game. >_>

The list is pretty good. I have tried some of these
