    Yes Saints Row 2 on PC..probably the worst bit of games programming I've witnessed on PC. Hilarious fast forwarding and very weird game engine behaviour too.

    Dear God yes...

    Quite frankly, any Resi Evil game since 3 should have been aborted in the planning process and the devs taken to the back alley and shot.

    Confrontation (or something like that). Thought it would be a decent game, its got **** graphics even on high settings, gameplay is horrendous as are the controls, stroy line... what story line.
    Tried playing it for ~ 30mins before giving up in disgust, sent an email to Steam and the devs asking for refund on this pile of garbage... I did this when it was released, I'm still awaiting a reply other than the generic message from steam.

    GTA IV - worst in the whole series.
    I actually prefer SA and VC.

    I wouldn't advise against GTA IV, like many people in this thread have done, but I totally agree on the SA front. Since I bought GTA IV, I think I've probably played SA for longer... and I'd already completed it at least 3 times before I bought IV.

    The DLC for GTA IV is the best part to my mind, had far more character and depth than the main story. Gordon Freeman has far more personality than Niko, and he never opened his damn trap.

    Thing is, at £4.99, I don't think you can call it a bad purchase. That's been the price in the last few Steam sales.

    Worst game in recent years has to be Call of Juarez: The Cartel... buggy game and crap console port ubisoft should say sorry for publishing it.
    Dragon Age 2 was the biggest let down a sequel that just couldnt live upto the original in any way, repetitive dungeons which were re-skinned if you were lucky most of the time you werent with a boring plot to boot.

    Dead Island - More bugs than code.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    Re: PC Games you shouldn't buy/download

    Alien vs Predator - got it for £2 in the Steam sale and it wasn't even worth that. God awful game that wasn't even worth the time it took to download.

    Rage - now this may well be a good game but I haven't been able to play it long enough. Not because of bugs but because something about the movement in the game makes me feel nauseous. I have still only played it for a grand total of less than 60 minutes. £15 quid well spent there...

    Oh and Fallout New Vegas - after a while it just wouldn't start up and I haven't played it since. That was over a year ago I think. Steam support were about as useful as a foul flavoured lollipop.

    If you meant Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, I never had a single issue with this title, though it may have been 'cleaned up' before being offered on Steam where I got it cheap. Thought it was a gr8, under-rated title, making good use of the Source engine. It was fairly short tho and the multiplayer (done by a different company) looked like a tacked on afterthought..

    LOL I like that: "you shouldn't buy a game because I feel odd playing it"

    Oh and Fallout New Vegas - after a while it just wouldn't start up and I haven't played it since. That was over a year ago I think. Steam support were about as useful as a foul flavoured lollipop.
    Completely disagree again - it's a great game that has no more compatibility issues than any other PC game. You're missing out if you don't buy this one.

    Haha just providing a public service - other people may get motion sickness from Rage too!

    As for Fallout NV it was good while it lasted. I may try to reinstall it to see if it works now.

    Oh another game I thought of is Metro 2033 - yet another apocalyptic crapfest where you have to fight off giant bouncing rats. Really where do they think these things up? Oh no wait they don't think they just ram other games thru a sausage machine and see what turd-like shape creeps out the other side.

    I wish there was better way of weeding thru the bad games upon release. Maybe something like the movie release method where the better stuff goes to the cinema and a lot of the rubbish goes straight to DVD? Although admittedly a lot of said rubbish still makes it to the cinema... Its a chin scratcher. I suppose the existing method of waiting for the Steam sales will have to do

    Oh and sorry Ferral! I didn't even think about that as a bad word as I was writing it. If I had used the medical definition would that have been acceptable?

    Re: PC Games you shouldn't buy/download

    Oh I have to mention F3AR (ugh), an abomination of a console port that totally lacked any 'fear' factor whatsoever. I know that the original FEAR set the bar high but even if Fear 3 used a pole vault it couldn't reach it, its generally crappiness would snap the pole and land it on its head, killing it. Which would be a good thing for all humankind. Except then it'll be resurrected as a putrescent zombie for FE4R
