For every yin there must be a yang, and that may be the nicest thing we can say about these games. They are the 10 worst-reviewed games that RPGFan writers had to suffer through in the '00s. They include awful ports of good games, games that might have been less bad on another platform, a game that may succeed as art, but fails miserably at being fun, and games that are just plain terrible. Every one of them received a score lower than 50%, but Digimon World: Data Squad "outshone" them all with an abysmal 35%. Click their names to read the reviews and have some schadenfreude fun at these games' (and our writers') expense.
