    There was once a GameSpy grudge match (basically, it's a poll between which of two things would win in a fight, usually going to the absurd, for instance, Diablo vs. Afro Thunder from Ready-2-Rumble Boxing) which summed it up well.
    'Which is more fun?'

    - Poking your eyes out with a sharp stick
    or
    - Force Commander.

    Indeed.
    Edit: I've never played Force Commander, or blinded myself, so this isn't my opinion, just GameSpy's. Incidentally, the stick won by a landslide.

    Why didn't it run on your computer? Is your's old? I havent heard of hardly any technical problems with the game, just various people's gameplay issues. If your computer is out of date, then don't blame the game.

    It's hard to answer. I usually steer clear of games that end up in bargain bins, that I've heard are crappy, or have been knocked way down in price within it's first six months of release, a good sign that a game is a piece of crap. BG2, on the other hand, is over 5 years old now and I saw it for $30 the other day - so there you go. I usually read up on a game before buying or playing it, so I can't really say I've been caught with too many lemons.

    I'd have to say, in recent memory, Arcanum pretty much sucked the big one (I payed full price... :mad: yes, I'm an impulse shopper on occasion).

    The worst PC game I've ever played was Empire Earth. It had a great idea but the way they implemented it was done very badly.

    the settlers 3&4... just build 100 soldiers and then conquer all towers. What aconcept for a strategy game!

    btw arcanum isn't so bad ... but the endboss really is a bad joke, a good char can take him down in one turn without getting any damage

    I liked the original Sims, though it did get boring after a while. You don't do much except go to work, go home, eat, sleep, over and over and over again... :rolleyes: But I haven't played any of the add-ons.

    And is Neverwinter Nights that bad? My dad and I were looking into getting it...

    No, in my opinion NWN is a very fun game. It is nowhere near being the worst PC game ever.

    Alexander the Great, why do you call Operation Flashpoint one of the worst games ever? It is one of the best games in my opinion. Was it the graphics that put you off?

    Now to answer the question:
    Hogs of war (i just found it cheesy and a waste of £30 so i took it back)

    Escape from monkey island (i really didn't think this was anywhere near as good as the previous 3) - only a 'worst' game IMO because of dissapointment. The only bit i found really fun was the parts related to the diving quest. I suppose it was Ok but it just seemed to be missing something, for me anyway.

    Earthworm Jim, i really hated that game! It was just soooooooooo annoying and drab.
