XII was marvelous, and, not coincidentally, different from every other game in the series in a lot of significant ways.

I tried to look up "twat" in the OED and all it said was "MikeMartz1999."

Oh, don't worry. I don't have health insurance or benefits of any kind. If I'm not willing to bankrupt my family to seek treatment for my medical conditions, I'm sure as hell not costing you a dime.

"Mind" might be a bit of a strong term.

No lollygaggin'!

Well, although I bitch about all these areas, the gameplay mechanics are all that ultimately matter. I'd forgive the rest if it was at least fun to play. Fall of Man was, which I think more and more was due to the level design; levels were lengthy, surprisingly varied, and you moved through them at your own pace.…

I did start out calling it "worst," but changed at the suggestion of @avclub-509b5b40e6f3ebc2f5344e2733101f73:disqus . Credit where it's due, you see.

You're quite right about the battles. They were about the only thing I liked about 2, largely because they were the about the only thing that bore any resemblance to 1. I think I agree about the prison as well, which surprises me, since generally I hate the whole get-your-gear-taken-away cliche.

Fair enough. It couldn't really be a proper "worst of" list anyway, as it would take an improbable combination of free time and riches to play a comprehensive enough portion of the year's games to make such a judgment.

Bitch here about the most disappointing games of 2011

I'm not even mad about Skyrim's glitchiness, which, at its worst, was still nothing like as bad as New Vegas was pretty much from the beginning. Plus, it only got noticeable after [embarrassingly high playtime redacted]. I've already gotten dozens of times more and higher quality gaming time out of it than about any…

A Harry Potter movie tie-in novel.

We're talking at least 60% over the usual baseline rage level, and it might just stay there until a certain halfwit sloganeer gets the brutal mauling he so richly deserves.

Speaking as someone who really, really enjoys even the "worst" wordplay, "Our Brand Is Bigger Than Mine" is just about the most appalling swing-and-miss I've ever seen in my life. I'm not sure why, but it's making me extremely angry.

Necrobutcher's busy with something else.

Whore Sores.

The Sandbar of Ostracized Cut-Rate Knickknacks

Arg! Why would anyone look at that creature and think "bear" is an appropriate description?!

Hey now. Whoa. That thing is no bear.
