I've been attempting to mop up some loose achievements on a few old games when it occurred to me why I didn't have the complete scores on them already. Games like Aegis Wing and Galaga Legions have, for the longest time, been kicking my butt with the need to mix patience, practice, memorization and pure uncut 100% skill. I finally bested Aegis Wing, but only because I learned to play on the "INSANE" difficulty setting with a second controller using my feet. No really, that's what it took.
Before I take another step further I want to point out that I'm an achievement junkie, not an achievement whore. The difference being that I like getting achievements in games that challenge me and reward that with a little useless badge on my little useless gamertag. An achievement whore doesn't care about challenge, all they want are the points, and they will play any game, the easier the better, just to get their gamerscore boosted. An analogy would be a man taking Synthol as opposed to a man that actually eats right and lifts weights.
So anyway, as I was going back trying to fill in some gaps on old games I started to remember why I never completed getting the full 1000 to begin with on some of these… they suck! Holy mackerel these games are terrible! So terrible that I even took a break from my protracted attempts at playing Perfect Dark Zero to earn some "cheevos" just because it hit me that some of the absolute worst games I've ever played have been games on the Xbox 360. So much for evolution. Perfect Dark Zero isn't the worst though. In fact there is one game that stands monolithically above all others as being the worst game I've ever played on the Xbox 360, or any other console. A game so bad it made me actually wish cancer on everyone involved in it's creation, and not just any cancer, the painful "I hope you M*********ERS rectally bleed to death in agony!" cancer. I'm actually a pretty mellow guy, so it takes an especially bad game to really get me this kind of P.O.ed.
So, without further ado, I give you the ten worst Xbox 360 games I've ever played. Feel free to comment on how wrong or right I am, I don't doubt many of you have some horror stories of your own. Links to my reviews on them included.
