I have no idea how they found TMNT 2 to be any worse than the boring drab TMNT.

[Dangerboy]

I also don't see how they can limit it to just one Spec Ops.

And what's with the "attack the budget titles" shit? Dragonball GT was far shittier than anything on that list.

I am impressed they actually slapped a 989 game in there though.

I thought Shadow Tower was a great game! A little slow, but a fun action dungeon-crawler. DBZ: UB22 needs a place on there - worst PS game I've ever played.

Agreed there are way shittier titles on PSOne than what was mentioned... Obviously the editors of that article never played:

Fox Hunt
Rise 2: Ressurection
PO'ed
Spice World
Psybadek
ECW (either)
Frank Thomas' Big Hurt Baseball
Mortal Kombat: Special Forces
Mortal Kombat: Mythologies Subzero
Mike Tyson's Boxing
VIP
Army Men (Pick One)
Kurt Warner's Arena Football

The list goes on. and on.

Why is Catwoman #1? All the reviews I've seen gave it a very semi-decent review. The TMNT games, altho not as good as old ones, are far from being on any bottom 20 lists.

Wheres Death by Degrees, That 50 Cent game, any of the Army Men games and Shadowman?

[Daltone]

I can only presume that the reason that Virus (the one based on the Jamie Lee Curtis movie / comic strip) did not make the list is because the writers were afraid that someone may actually go out and play it.

A few execptions aside, that list only seems to be, well, moderately bad. What are other people's top tens?

[Rogmeister]

Perhaps they were confusing Catwoman: The Movie with Catwoman: The Game? And if they're including super-hero games, why did they omit the legendary PS1 version of Fantastic Four?

.... Oh my, I had quite forgotten about that. For some reason I really want to play it now.

EDIT: Oh and how about The Crow - City Of Angels and The City Of Lost Children? (at least that was a cool film though.)

Anybody ever played a game called Rat Attack. I picked it up for like 3 bucks and after I played it I found out why it was 3 bucks. It was a 3D lemmings type game geared towards rats. It reminded me of Blasto or Rascal but totally stank. I'm not sure that I've ever played a worst game for the PS1.

[gepeto]

Perfect weapon was a horrible horrible horrible game. Should be in the top 7.

[pookninja]

i disagree with fugitive hunter and narc for ps2 being on that list.i played thru and had fun with both of those games.while there not great games,there are good,and there is plenty of worse games they could of used instead of those two games.

[Dangerboy]

Where's Fox Hunt

NO way dude! Fox Hunt was some of the best fmv cheese ever, seriously!

[LAGO]

All in all I can agree with most of the list but I think Fifth Element should have been bumped up a few notches.

[Jorpho]

How about Simpsons Wrestling? Or Hellboy?

[sharp]

There are much crappier game around. Try to remember but only remeber Revolution X and some cheap crap (not to mention earlier called games) . But maybe this is the reason they didn't mention the worst ones, you forget a lot of them within no time.

I kinda liked Revolution X .. in a strange way

[Kid Ice]

I'm not going to complain about the list since I've only actually played one game on it (Street Racquetball, and yes it belongs there). I just don't understand why they put PS2 and PS1 games on the same list.

[7th lutz]

I didn't play any of the games on that list. Why don't they do a 25 worst ps 1 games of all time and 25 worst ps 2 games of all?

I may not of played Ninja: Shadow of Darkness on ps 1, but that game was called one the worst 25 ps 1 games of all time by gameinformer. None the games from gameinformer's worst ps1 games of all time list got mentioned by OPM.

I expected games like Dragon Heart:Fire&Steel,Floating runner, and Time Commando to be mentioned by them.

[Retsudo]

Iron & Blood for the PS1 needs to be on that list.
