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.

(Note: "Top Ten Games of 2003" is linked from the source page)

You dare to doubt the suck that emanates that Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing exudes? You think me mad for putting this over Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis? Okay, hot shot. Consider this, then: Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing has a Metacritic score of 8. Out of 100.

    Eh, it would take me too long to figure out which year I thought was the worst for gaming, but 2003 had a good number of solid releases. They link to the top 10 games from 2003 in that article, which displays some awesome games like Rise of Nations, Knights of the Old Republic, Viewtiful Joe, Legend of Zelda: Windwaker. and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

    There were some pretty awkward games around 2003, coincidence though.

    I agree with the list of good games The Omega mentioned.
