Being a games reviewer isn't all it's cracked up to be, y'know. Sure, you get to bum around on the couch for a living and get sent all the latest games for free, but for every Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, there are countless AAA flops and shovelware atrocities to plough through. Whereas you guys get to ignore these crimes against gaming, we're forced to play through them from start to finish. The horror...
2010 was a pretty good year for gaming, as our Best Games of 2010 roundup testifies. However, there were still plenty of awful games floating amongst the gems. In the following slideshow, we take a chronological look back at the worst games of 2010. To read our original reviews, click on the screenshot for each game.

Although it looks like a promising hack-and-slash sequel on the surface, Ninety-Nine Nights II is an overwhelmingly mediocre experience that offers very little beneath its stylish artwork and mildly interesting gameplay. While it may have been impressive to mow through hundreds among hundreds of enemies on-screen at once back in 2006, this title looks and feels years behind the times. Even if you're a fan of the first game, tedious grinds through lifeless levels may not hold your interest past the first few missions.
