Worst Game Everyone Played

This category is a strong argument against the wisdom of the masses, considering that the following games were all stinkers that were purchased by huge numbers of people. Critics all over the industry panned these games to no avail, for there was something about each of them that proved too tempting to pass up, whether it was their series' previous successes or a megapopular license. If you bought one of these games, don't feel too bad--you had a lot of company.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames GameSpot's Best Games of 2008 Readers' Choice Winner

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is an explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn world. A power-hungry tyrant messes with Venezuela's oil supply, sparking an invasion that turns the country into a warzone. But for you, international crisis is all upside: You are a mercenary, and you profit from chaos. Mercenaries 2 features a slew of potential clients, all willing to pay you to do their dirty work. Dirty deeds, done for exorbitant fees. These are world powers with deep pockets, deep grudges, and enough arms and ammo to start World War III. This is your kind of environment. Mercenaries 2 features the latest and most dangerous in civilian and military tech, everything from shiny new sports cars, to the future-tech satellite-guided bunker-busting mini-nuke. Tanks, APCs, boats, luxury automobiles – you name it, you can have it delivered to you in real time. And if you run out of cash you can always 'acquire' the gear you need in the field. If you see it, you can buy it, steal it, or blow the living crap out of it. Play your own way, or play with the help of a friend in the new cooperative multiplayer mode. You are not a soldier. You don't have to play by anyone's rules. You have your own code: you will fulfill the terms of the contract, no matter what. Not everyone in the world of Mercenaries is as honorable. Everyone will try and screw you, given the chance. They think they can get away with it, because they don't know rule #1: EVERYBODY PAYS.

Iron Man was pretty bad consider all they had to was to find cool was of blowing things up to make people happy.

Iron man. sorry to everyone who played this game. GS said it best, how F'ing cool could it have been to suit up in the red and gold? Well, here's hoping for a sequel that doesn't blow

Wow, I was gonna say GTA IV (suck it fan-boys)...but then Iron Man WAS terrible. Then again, I broke a controller in rage playing NFS-Whatever the Hell the last one was. WHO THE F*** wants to RACE at three in the GD afternoon? Really? Sun in the face through the WHOLE game?! Yeah that's fun.

never played iron man or mercenaries but i felt that everyone with a 360 or PS3 in my school bought shawn white and i couldn't stop asking "why?". I don't know if it is honestly the worst game on this list, but it definently sold way more than it deserved
