The Top 10 Worst Shooters Conceived And Developed

It's taken me a while to figure this out, and with the recent failure that is Transexuals: Want for Cybersex, I figured it's a good time to put this there. I'm more of a shooter and action game lover than I am of RPGs, but that isn't to say I do not approve of RPGs at all. I love them both, but I need fast paced things most of the time. Like RoF, for example. It's just hard for me to sit down these days and play some of the classic titles (Baldur's Gate), for a plethora of reasons you do not care about.

Let's get this over with.

#10 - Halo 2

Halo was and is a less-than-mediocre series, but what made me hate it the most is the fact that the aiming system was HORRIBLE. The aiming reticule was 25% BELOW the center of the screen. Maybe 10%, but it wasn't a normal FPS. I felt like a mentally retarded person aiming his mouth up to catch breast milk from his mother everytime I aimed, it was ridiculous. It, like the rest of the entire franchise, is a horrible shooter. The guns lack pop, the enemies are generic, and the game is way too long for it's own good. The only fun you can have playing it is to teamkill and grief.

#9 - Blacksite: Area 51

One cold Christmas I went out searching for some gifts for myself. I had never heard of this game, but I had played an Area 51 on the PS2, which was loads better. Upon loading it, I was confused. This is one of the most bland, boring shooters I had played at the time, and thought nothing could be more generic. There was no music, the guns were inaccurate, enemies were tiny, it was like an action figure on action figure game. I never beat this game due to it's sh!t-factor.

#8 - Lost Planet 2

For obvious reasons, this is on the list. Lost Planet 1 would be here too, but the only thing keeping me from raging on that is that it was old and was an experimentation. Too bad CAPCOM failed to realize the true potential of the series. I have also written the only good, factual, and truthful review of this game.

#7 - Tabula Rasa

Heh, it's an MMO, but it was still a shooter. Richard Garriott, being the D!ck F@ggot he is and being the traitor he is, thought he could emulate PSO with this game. Really, when I look at it now, I think he was trying to rip off that game, since PSO did ranged combat so very well in that kind of setting. Too bad the guy failed it, and the game eventually shut down thankfully.

#6 - GoldenEye - Rogue Agent

If this game isn't on anyone's list for being a bad game, they don't deserve to be playing games. Easily one of the worst shooters ever made, a lazily developed project. Do I need to say anything? All you'll have to do is watch a YouTube video to see how bad it is.

#5 - Resident Evil: Dead Aim

Once again, it's an easy choice, but I personally hated it myself. I think this game marked a point where the whole series started going wrong. Admittedly, I started hating Resident Evil after Code Veronic. The only reasons I like RE4 and RE5 is because of the endless hordes rushing at you, and you have legitimate, fair ways of handling it if you're skilled enough. RE5 is only good because of Mercenaries, too.

#4 - Deus Ex: Invisible War

Deus Ex is the greatest RPG ever created, no game can contest with it's glory. Taxonomic can put it so much better than I can, but let's be clear on one thing. The sequels blew ass, and I'm glad I never played them. With how much I know about it, this deserves to be on this list, since it greatly hampers the first game's reputation if you play it first.

#3 - Resistance 2

The Resistance series is a horrible series. Sporting the most unfair AI I've ever seen in a video game, they just had to make it worse by loading up almost all of the enemies with the gun that can shoot through walls, so you can never hide. It's like being kicked in the groin, and then someone else kicks you straight up the aASSss a few seconds later. You have to play this game to see how terrible it is. It's the kind of shooter where the health bar is completely pointless, enemies are unstoppable, and the only way to win is to exploit and cheat with everything you can.

#2 - Call of Duty series

This is a given. This franchise of games is nothing more than a military recruitment tool. Even as a shooter, it fails. BIG TIME. The only way you can enjoy this game is to go on the multi player with your hacks loaded and go in guns blazing. Do everything possible to ruin as many people's lives as you can, it's the only way to play this game. If you can't do that, then go on YouTube and watch the many videos of the griefing in this game. The only detail that went into this game is how they can show the youth of this country how everyone else is bad, and only America is good.

#1 - The Godfather II


For. Obvious. Reasons. Read my review.

Special mentions of bad shooters-

Bioshock
Aliens vs. Predator (PS3)
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 1 & 2
Brink
Kane and Lynch: Dead Men

If you want to add anything, feel free. Also, Taxonomic should do an opposite list of GOOD shooters...
