ecause they can't all be winners, we feel compelled to present to you the year's Dubious Honors, a not-so-proud GameSpot tradition since 1996. These are the games whose accomplishments are, let's say, different.

These certainly aren't the worst games of the year--on the contrary, some of the year's best games find their way into our Dubious Honors category. However, for one reason or another, all these games left something of a sour taste in our mouths, and we know we're not alone. So, won't you join us for a little rubbernecking?
