10 Worst Games Of 2007

You’d think that by the year 2007 the industry would have learned all the lessons that there were to be learned when it comes to developing video games. After all, they’d had decades to hone the craft, and bad titles should have been a thing of the past. Alas, it seems that nobody had gleaned anything from the scores of awful games that had come before as studios continued to churn out steaming piles of ploppers for yet another year, so once again we’re forced to name and shame the absolute worst of the bunch. Here are the 10 Worst Games of 2007.

The thing I loved the most about "worst games" was reading the scathing reviews in GamePro and EGM video game magazines. Reviews of good games were always informative but ones roasting a bad game were so entertaining.

[@matthewboer8279]

I always enjoyed the “shame of the month” from EGM.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

Something that still holds true to this very day. A crappy game just getting slam dunked is always so fun.

[@salsashark8876]

I miss EGM that magazine was the shit

[@lomein9751]

Ah Damn gamepro you got my nostalgia drives overheating

[@jasonblalock4429]

Oooh boy, when I saw 2007 I knew this was going to be a bad time, since that's when Wii Shovelware really kicked into high gear. Are we going to need to limit Wii games in future worst lists to stop them from dominating?

[@farandbeyond4628]

Alternative title “The Ugly side of the Wii library”

[@darrinfromvault801]

I'd love to see the games featured on Worst Games Ever ranked based on ratings and their experience

[@Mashangi]

All Worst Games Ever or just from TripleJump? Because there is also Vidiots and (where it started) as well.

As a Brit who moved to USA decades ago, I can confirm that the real Wiffle ball is good fun and quite safe to play when completely smashed.

[@Loundsify]

You should have introduced them to rounders lol

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

Actually harmless drunk fun and preparing meat in just so many delicious ways: two things I think you'll agree America is actually quite good at!

[@lookalolrus3755]

As a Brit who didn't betray the crown (jk), I am the type to say wiffle ball is for panzies and play baseball pissed and regret once my drunk ass gets hit by a well thrown ball to the body and hopefully not the face, late to wish I was playing wiffle ball

[@merkcityboy834]

So is cricket..

[@inthegrass11]

this sounds like a challenge

[@lamkin9188]

Fun fact: here in Britain, Ken Griffy Jr is more well known for having a grotesquely swollen jaw.

[@ddgnp1057]

The first season of Little Britain was legitimately quite inspired with a few of its one-off characters and wasn't always just crass humour for the sake of it. Later on yeah, it was just repetitive, predictable gags, even more one note characters and shock humour.

[@adamgronvold8608]

As much as I love the Wii, this list shows why getting Nintendo seal of approval was not just good, but right. There was a mountain of horrible shovelware on that system.

[@MrMadshepherd]

My grandad used to love Deal or No Deal on DS. Granted it was the UK version instead and it probably didn’t have the same exploit but I could never understand why he liked it so much

Fun Fact: Chickenshoot is based on a german classic called "Moorhuhn". By now there are over 30 different games in that series and one of the first was Germanys most popular computer game in the early 2000s

1:22 fun fact, that disc has gotta be a reprint from mid-2009 or later. the wii discs in 2007 were still using the style of gamecube discs.

[@SuperNuclearUnicorn]

Wait really? I remember getting a Wii fairly early on and the Wii Sports disc being a full sized disc

[@Spacething7474]

@@SuperNuclearUnicorn i meant texture pattern. all wii discs were the size of normal discs. or were there certain wii games to get full color disc reprints before the mandatory change of the latter half of '09?

[@SuperLlama42]

>Most of the games on the list being Wii shovelware Yeah, that sounds about right.

[@Justforvisit]

5:16 Somewhere in the US, the good old "SNES Drunk" felt a little glimpse of joy out of nowhere when the name "Ken Griffey Jr." dropped.

[@ChaseMC215]

Crusin' USA was a amazing game, it's draw distance was the result of system limitations, not poor game design. And about Crusin' on the Wii, it wasn't even a new game in the series, it was just a port of The Fast And The Furious arcade game to the Wii with the Crusin' name slapped onto it, Midway didn't even bother removing the real world car licence that the Fast And The Furious game used, as one of the cars in the game is clearly the Dodge Charger that Vin Diesel used in the first film and briefly in Tokyo Drift.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

I remember trying to convince my friend it was NOT part of the actual Crusin' series. He still bought it anyways and regretted it. That is why (at least back then) you rent games first if you are unsure about them.

[@ChaseMC215]

@@ThatShyGuyMatt You tried, A for effort.

[@tentaclesmod]

I think the bad draw distance was also inexperience with the hardware. Cruisin world had much better draw distance.

Yarris. I remember that game. Even when free, no one wanted it. I payed it for the beyond easy achievements and never touched it again.

[@willrobinson7599]

The wii console was full of shovel ware games. Lots of aweful low quality junk

[@BrentMalice]

this is my favorite series by far. i wish there was a specific playlist instead of general Top X Lists playlist

[@vinceely2906]

Nice to know I’m not the only that seems to get more pleasure from watching bad old games, rather than good ones!

[@karlsmith4270]

FUN FACT: Cruis'n is acutally a port of the Fast and Furious arcade game. Midway lost the rights to the movie franchise so they lazily renamed to just Cruis'n and called it a day.

[@slanderman3296]

I was 21, so I dont really remember this year that well

you know what makes that Jenga game even worse, the fact that boom Blox Came to town about one year later and did that idea so much better. By the way, I think Boom Blox is an underrated Wii game. Don't touch the N-Gage version though.

[@amsterdamG2G]

Little Britain needs a remake!

[@stompa6424]

Chicken shoot was called Moorhühner "moorhens" in Germany and was released in 1998 was THE shit! I played it as a kid and it was amazing....the Wii game was just....milking the hen...which obviously had to end badly.

[@amelyalilyorme1247]

I used to own chicken shoot! it was really dull😂😭

[@ridbensdale]

Cool Spot & Push Over were both ‘advert’ games of a sort. And they were both awesome. Also, RoboCod on the Amiga plugged the Penguin choccy biccy a lot.

[@jadedheartsz]

Mark sounds like a pretty cool game NGL, thank you Triple Jump for introducing and alerting me to another obscure PC game i'd never heard of before! I recently played Lula 3-D and enjoyed it quite a bit.

[@PlNGP0NG]

Oof, DoND having the "NES Bubble Bobble Problem" could've been solved with a simple random number. NES Bubble Bobble Problem was that all of the games powerup appearances are derived from counts of player actions - since the NES game didn't have a save state, all the scores were reset to 0 at boot. Even randomizing the stats at the start of the game would've been increased the game's replayability tremendously.

[@theeasyjay335]

objection. Dorito’s crash course was sick

[@brycestrife5605]

Great stuff guys and gal!

[@Dustemikkel_Rev]

I actually played Little Britain. For 10 minutes. I never got past the first stage, (the Vicky Pollard rollerblading one) because I couldn't figure out the dreadful controls. I hate that game.

[@jclkaytwo]

my parents bought me game party when I was little. even as a toddler I knew the game was trash. what a waste of money. I can't believe this sold 2 million copies. I still have the disk to this day. _shudders_

So the Wii-game Chicken Shoot is in fact a cartoony version of the well-known Moorhuhn Shooter?

[@j.evancurry]

People didn’t like Cruisn USA? I used to love that game on 64

You need a non Nintendo/PC version where shovelware reigned.

[@System_Sega]

Crusin' USA in the arcade was ok. Enjoyable, just not up to the standards of the Sega and Namco racers of the same time. The N64 port was pretty bad however.

[@Theguyman]

Quality content lads

I'm pretty sure "the mark" Ripped off that movie "training day" with Ethan Hawk and Denzel

[@heroesofthescape]

Fun fact about Wiffle Ball. It was a port of a flash browser game on Nabisco World. I played it all the time when I was a kid.

[@dazza7321]

We never learn, games today are worse than ever.

[@Unotuchable]

Wasn't the problem with Cruis'n USA the fact that Midway tried to port the game to the Nintendo 64 which clearly couldn't handle it?

[@sonicguyver7445]

I do seem to remember a lot of Wii titles felt like shovelware games mashed together and dressed up in a theme of some kind. Even at the end things like "Carnival Games" became the Galador of the video game isle.

[@crane8819]

Wow, I was actually shocked that "Call For Heroes" came out in 2007 (I even Googled it because I didn't believe it lol). It looks like something that could have come out in the late 90's or early 2000's.

[@DoctorTaco]

I know it was basic, but I remember doritos crash course to be pretty fun back then. Kinda wanna turn on my 360 again and see if it holds up at all

[@geogantart]

It does, in my opinion.

[@gofuckagoat6437]

Jesus this, Moses that Abraham hit me with a wiffle ball bat

[@Robocopnik]

The thing with Wiffle balls is, they've got holes on one side, and not the other, which effects the flow of air around the ball, so you can get a lot of pretty good movement out of them while pitching. It's also way harder to break a window or something with a plastic ball.

[@tysonevarard968]
