Uhm... Let's go with Brink because bandwagon.

I'll go with Extra Credits on this one.

Call of Juarez. Period. It makes Duke Nukem Forever and Brink seem far superior in several ways.

Worst game I've played this year? Or worst game that came out this year?

Of the mainstream big titles that came out this year, Brink was the most disappointing. You have to understand: I first heard about Brink after I had played Fallout 3. This was during a time when I had high expectations for anything with even the name Bethesda attached to it. Of course, I learned that Bethesda wasn't actually going to develop it, but I was still excited. The setting, the traversal system... man, I was excited.

Then I get it and find that it has barely a single player and that it's not really that different than any other team-based multiplayer shooter. I hated the horse-face characters, the game had bugs and it had connection issues.

I suppose Brink isn't really a bad game.... it's just so different and fell so damn short of what I thought it was going to be.

I mean, I even went as far as to beat Alice: Madness Returns, and that game was fucking awful.
Really? I loved it to bits!

My inner child enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever :/ Sorry.
However, my expectations were low. Not sure how it could have been otherwise - the development was a trainwreck.

Dragon Age 2 for me - chipping away at a genre I used to love.

Disqualified for being released in 2010. And it really wasn't that bad. Sure, the story wasn't great, but at least the gameplay is still pretty good: if Prime is Super in 3D, then Other M is Fusion in 3D, for whatever that's worth to you. And I actually liked Fusion a heck of a lot. I also happen to like Sonic Heroes--GET BACK ON TOPIC ME

So, I disagree. Metroid: Other M was definitely not the worst game of 2010. Not great, but not the worst. (And for the record, I never finished it; I never got past that bit with the two giant chameleons at once.)

ID's Rage. It made Duke Nukem Forever look good on its launch day (for PC). For me, its definately Rage. Biggest let down and waste of money too.

Really it was released in 2010? Well 2010 is the worst year for games ( i kid i kid)

Fine i change my answer ,the worst game released and in 2011 will have to go to dragon age2 then. Recycled dungeons , lack of coherent story, transformatiom from rpg to hack and slash , yup terrible game.

Either way worst game of the year would have to be:

Portal 2

Hahaha..haha..ha...or you're being serious? I would have said Portal 2 was in fact one of the best games I played all year.

I know it's old, but my pick would be Medal of Honor. The story was non existent, not a single real character, and just all around bleh.
You didn't quote the entire comment of mine :(
Lol I am the Fox News of Escapist. Sorry your post was long so I wanted to just boil it down. While I agree that the game was short...ish, it had a lot of content and was incredibly compelling. Both single and multiplayer.

Wow... the only games I've played that were released in 2011 are Portal 2, FIFA/Madden 11/12, Bulletstorm, and Total War: Shogun 2...

That makes it Bulletstorm then. From what I've heard it sounds like Call of Juarez: The Cartel takes the cake though.

Why? IT WAS TOO FUCKIN' SHORT! I WANTED MORE DAMNIT MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!

I miss GlaDOS and Chell :'(
In comparison to Portal, Portal 2 was a pretty lengthy game. Or maybe it's because I spent so much time dicking around with the gels.

OT: I'm with everyone who said Duke Nukem Forever. My inner child ran screaming to her room as if chased by a monster. D:
