There are subjectives, and then there are these. While you may believe a work fits here, and you might be right, people tend to have rather vocal, differing opinions about this subject. Please keep these off of the work's page.

The Angry Video Game Nerd, on how the , on how the LJN Toys logo symbolises recurring faults. "Purple for putrid gameplay; blue for bad musical abominations; green for graphical farts and garlic; yellow for piss-poor lack of loyalty to source material; orange for "orange you a fucking idiot"; red for high-stress, anger-inducing masochism! Put that together, you got all the colors of the Shit Rainbow."

A handful of game developers, both professional and independent, often have a hard time making games that are fun, or even playable. Game mods and homebrew creations exist that can put the worst fanfic in perspective. Your internet and cell phone aren't even safe. In some cases, even the consoles are better off sacrificed to your trash compactor. Or arguably just as bad for some companies, a presentation (most commonly at E3) intended to wow audiences instead goes horribly awry, damaging a company's reputation or a certain type of brand in the process.

Important Notes:

Merely being offensive in its subject matter is not sufficient. Hard as it is to imagine at times, there is a market for all types of deviancy, no matter how small a niche it is. It has to fail to appeal even to that niche to qualify as this. A game isn't horrible just because The Angry Video Game Nerd, Spoony, Yahtzee, JonTron, or any other Caustic Critic reviewed it. Nor is it horrible just because it has a flood of negative reviews on Amazon.com and Metacritic. note Diablo III is a prime example of a perfectly functional game with a ridiculous number of negative Amazon.com reviews - at least 90% of which are nothing more than complaints about the game's DRM system.)

Rock Band With literally thousands of playable songs, there are bound to be some that are far worse than the rest. Especially with 2 and 3's "Rock Band Network" store, which allowed almost anybody to submit their own songs with less quality testing than normal DLC songs. With literally thousands of playable songs, there are bound to be some that are far worse than the rest. Especially with 2 and 3's "Rock Band Network" store, which allowed almost anybody to submit their own songs with less quality testing than normal DLC songs. Note: To qualify for this section, the note chart should be horrible. If the song itself is bad but the in-game notes are synced up, it goes in the Music section. The song "Fat Kid" by Nothing More . The guitar's chart is the only decent one; the bass chart is completely off-sync and has unnecessary chords, the drum chart uses notes that are wrong and off beat, and the vocal chart has many wrong pitches.

. The guitar's chart is the only decent one; the bass chart is completely off-sync and has unnecessary chords, the drum chart uses notes that are wrong and off beat, and the vocal chart has many wrong pitches. "Pawns" by Dead by Wednesday , specifically the charts for the guitar and drums. The guitar has a myriad of unnecessary and poorly charted riffs topped off by a solo that switches between being undercharted and overcharted while being off-key the entire time. Meanwhile, the drums' chart has a bunch of questionable fills (worst case is at the 2:02 mark) and double bass after the 2nd chorus even though the song doesn't have a double bass version, yet you can hear un-charted double bass earlier in the song so it's not even consistent (it says something that the number of people who have a full combo on the drums chart for this song to this day could be counted on one hand). Add in sluggishly-paced animations and some embarrassing lip-syncing from the singer character not long after the aforementioned fill and you have what some have considered the worst full band chart in the game.

"Electricity in My Soul" by Steam Powered Giraffe. The chart is fine on most instruments... until you get to the vocal chart , where almost every note starts too early, ends too late, or both. According to the comments, not even the band's singer could get 100% on it.
