    Of them, I've only heard of Legendary, Sonic, Vampire Rain, facebreaker, Golden Axe and Alone in the Dark, and tbh, I'm not too surprised that they made the list. Except AitD, I didn't know it was that bad.

    Also surprised that Haze didn't make the list. I was expecting it to be on, considering the hate it got.

    Alone in the Dark is a surprise for me too. With the others on the list I totally agree.

    I dunno about the rest of the list, but I'm kind of surprised Wii Music isn't near the top (or bottom, however you prefer to think it) of the list...

    I've not heard a single person say they liked it, and everyone has said it seems like utter crap (even Wii fanboys/fangirls). It also has piss-poor sales, from what I've heard...

    Not surprised Sonic and Wii Music is up there.

    Bus Simulator sounds pretty fun, I wonder why it was #1.

    lol bus simulator sounds weird, but wii music is terrible i got bored quite quickly with that game, sonic is not as bad as wii music but its still pretty poor.

    It is RIDICULOUS that Alone in the Dark is on that list. Honestly. It's Inventory system is really original, and if you don't knock them too hard for the poor driving sequences and glitchy moments here and there, its a really entertaining game. It is well worth a rental.

    Why aren't more of those Imagine Games up there? All of them are stupid and make no sense.
    I am suprised to see Wii music up there, although it was pointless it's still quite good.

    I was planning on buying Target: Terror when I had my Wii. That game looked like it would've been fun, like the old arcade shooting games.

    List suxxerz


    Sonic Unleashed is fun, and Golden Axe is GREAT. A return to it's roots, hack and slash with 2 buttons, one magic button, and beasts of epicness(MEG I WUV U) And Alone in the dark is a great movie type game, I enjoyed it

    I really thought sonic unleashed would not be so high up there, surprised that sonic and the secret rings isn't up there, and wii music is so low on the list, it was worse than that tbh.

    No surprise toward Castlevania Judgment, which was a real slap in the face to the fans of that series. I haven't played the Sonic game but I've heard some good things so it could just be the popularity of saying you hate it just to fit in with the crowd. As for a bus simulator, keep it to the bus training centre.

    I'm surprised Star Wars: Force Unleashed didn't make the list, seeing as it's made the top 5 of loads of worst list games of 2008. >_>

      Probably because a lot of people actually like the game, just because there was a lot as you claim, it could've just been a large group of a small minority.

      It was one of the more disappointing of the anticipated titles in '08, but it wasn't necessarily the worst.

        Hard not to be with something as glorified as Star Wars.

    What was so bad about Destroy all humans? Weren't the first two good?

    Sonic Unleashed should not be up there, its one of the better Sonic games to come out in awhile.

      I certainly don't like it, but I wouldn't call it for the top 17.

    Homie Rollerz. Who called it? Not me. I just remember persuading someone to get Mario Kart DS instead of Homie Rollerz. Such a dumbass for even suggesting HR, he was.

    A few of those games are quite good.

    And Wii Music needs to be higher on the list.

    Glad they didn't put Haze on there, while average it wasn't the piece of shit everyone makes it out to be.

      Lol, very well put. I just beat Haze today, although I'll never play it again, I enjoyed it all the way through.

    Haha, Wii Music should be a bit higher~
    Haven't heard of most of these games tbh. :L

    Bus Simulator? hahaha that's insanity. Why would you make a bus simulation?

      For the same reason people want a train simulator (jeez, the thing runs on RAILS >_<)

      People are weird.

      That's the only reason they need.

      "If you make it, people will buy it" is shovelware (and pretty much a law of customers in any business market).

      Still enjoying my Avatar I see XD

    You can ask that, you can ask why E.T. the game was made, why Shaq-fu was made... there have been plenty of ridiculously awful game released, and humanity won't ever know why some of these games were produced.

      I actually liked Castlevania Judgment, even though it wasn't all like the main series. I just like fighting games I guess.
