Command and Conquer 4. I haven't played it myself, but the press reviews reek of bribes and I haven't seen a single gamer checking out review sites who doesn't hate the game.
One thing I heard is that "Crackers are actually debating whether or not they are going to crack the game" .. you have to admit, that pretty bad right there. A game nobody even wants to illegally download? Make available for download, even?

Exactly. I was dumb enough to preorder it because I was too much of CnC fanboy at that point, but as things are right now, I cant even run the game without overheating my graphics card and its not RTS anymore. I dont really know what it is but its just not cool in my book. The worst thing is that I got it with the EA download manager so I cant even sell it on!

The whole Crawler system is weird already but they had to take away the money system too. Now you have got a mobile base that can have things building up while its moving and then instantly release all completed ones when deployed next time. As for how building is limited is some Control Points, every unit costs a few of these, the better unit the more it uses, when a unit is destroyed you get that many Control Ppoints back for use as that unit used. then If your crawler is destroyed or you decide that you dont know how to use this crawler you can selfdetonate it and respawn at the start area with another one, there is a limit to how many times you can respawn.

I really regret saying this but a very poorly game (graphics wise) is, in fact Blur for XBox360, the neon lights and dark feel makes it VERY hard to see yet Blur is still totally bada$$. I would chose blur over mario cart any day.

OOOOOH YOU HAD TO ASK.

Hahaha I see what you did there

I don't think it's that kind of crawler...

Also, RA2 is not a poorly designed game--it's just unfinished. You can tell that the developers were running up against a deadline and they had to just get the thing out in a stable condition. 'Tis a shame; it could've been an awesome game instead of just a simulation that's awesome if you figure out how to mod it and exploit glitches, if they could actually finish it.

RA1 on the other hand... was a finished game, and not all that good.

As for other bad games I've played, the most recent that comes to mind is Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. Now don't get me wrong, it's not BAD, and the multiplayer mode rocks (I've been waiting for a multiplayer strategy RPG for a long time) but I've come to expect more from a Fire Emblem game. They took away a lot of the staple gameplay features (most noticeable is the lack of a Rescue command and Support conversations) and the story could have been written by a 12-year-old. Part of that can be attributed to the fact that it's a remake of the NES original, but still... could've been better.

I've played all the Robot Wars games. Save Arenas of Destruction for the PS2/PC and Extreme Destruction for the GBA, they all suck. Here's the quick rundown:

Metal Mayhem (GBC): Flippers are more or less an automatic win, no other weapons work (mostly), many obscure and un-notable competitiors in place of good ones.

Advanced Destruction (GBA): Control system is bizarre and impractical (Control pad left/right to turn, shoulder buttons to forward/reverse), combat is no more than "hit each other until someone dies"

Extreme Destruction (PC/Xbox/PS2): Replica robots impossible to control (Plunderbird 5 especially), house robots behave erratically, Invertible robots can't run inverted, you can easily flip yourself out of the arena with Chaos 2, Wheely Big Cheese, etc.

Pokemon Box. Basically, more storage space for Ruby/Sapphire.
Also Pokemon Channel - no, not a Wii channel, there was a GC game called Pokemon Channel.

Ah right, but that hardly counts as a game, IMO. I will however acknowledge Pokemon Channel, which I remembered just a few seconds ago, as a terrible game.
