Worst games of 2007

"Without the ability to compete against human opponents, this version of Cyberball 2072 is a completely useless waste.... To add a little insult to injury, some of the game sounds often get stuck and loop infinitely until you hit the pause button, which kills all of the game's sound when you unpause." --Jeff Gerstmann

"Drive to Survive will make you want to do neither.... $10 just so happens to be the magic number for a fresh copy of Drive to Survive, but for this game, 10 bucks is 20 bucks too much." --Ryan Davis

"Terrible controls murder what little appeal exists in this archaic arcade driving game.... Instead of a steering wheel, you get analog stick support that's too touchy and imprecise to be playable in any way." --Alex Navarro

"Made Man is proof-positive that with the right amount of indifference and general disdain for the game-buying public, you can still make complete dreck out of a seemingly foolproof concept.... After a few hours with Made Man, you'll be begging for someone to put two in the back of your head." --Alex Navarro

"There's nothing remotely fantastic about this awful movie tie-in.... Every aspect of the game is categorically bad; the story is tough to follow, the graphics are lousy, and the gameplay is so contrived and repetitive that it's unlikely anyone will garner much enjoyment from the game." --GameSpot staff

"Dull, repetitive, and carelessly programmed don't even begin to sum up how crummy this action game based on the Looney Tunes license is.... The action is boring, and the presentation is half-hearted and almost devoid of humor." --Frank Provo

"Who knew that samurai swordfighting could ever be so dull and annoying? Mindless button mashing and missions that consist entirely of slaughtering mobs of mouth-breathing bad guys make you wonder if somebody shipped the wrong build to the mastering lab." -- Brett Todd

"Just because a game seemingly aims to be bad on purpose doesn't make it any less of a bad game...This feels like less a game and more like some kind of snarky in-joke; one that screams, 'Look at how bad this game is, isn't that hilarious?'" --Alex Navarro

"This simplistic brawler's condescending attitude and one-note gameplay make it worth dodging.... It's the notion that kids can't handle or appreciate more sophisticated games, or media in general, that causes mindless trash such as Xiaolin Showdown to come to bear." --Ryan Davis

"The discount price isn't enough to make SnoCross 2: Featuring Blair Morgan an attractive purchase for even the most price-conscious consumer.... Even if you can get past the atrocious presentation and frustrating gameplay, there's always a new problem waiting to make sure you can't enjoy what little there is good about the game." --Aaron Thomas
