RoboCop

Games like Aquaman, Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness and Postal 2 are infamous among gamers for being infamously bad. But what many people don't realize is that all three games, as well as many other memorable stinkers were released in the same year as the absolute worst game ever conceived.

That year was 2003.

Have you ever noticed how most games based on movies tend to be not so great? Even when the movie was really good, and there is huge potential for an awesome game, the potential doesn't shine through, and the games come out seeming lower than average. Part of the reason is that game makers often want to have it out the day or close to whenever the movie airs, selling more copies.
