WC: Have you ever owned a video game that was considered taboo? I mean a game that was either so awkward or so terrible that you had to play it behind closed doors and/or stash it the moment you heard a knock on your door? Those are the kind of video games every gamer is embarrassed to own. Here is a list of ten such titles for you to better understand.
The Mario Party Series does not deserve to be on the list. Drunk friends playing Mario Party it pure gold.
"DNF manage to sell pretty well, and there are those who even dared to post gameplay videos of it on YouTube. Have these people no shame? Don’t they at least feel embarrassed?"
nope duke nukem wasn't the only one to get a crap sequel: turok, wolfenstein ,quake and some other game series got really bad sequels some may be intentionally like postal 3 but generally all were bad games for each respective series.

The only game i was embarrassed to own was Turning Point..such a cool idea ruined by rushed development.

TSA: If you like karaoke games, Karaoke Revolution is a no-brainer even if you already own SingStar. It doesn't have the polish or refinement of SingStar, but it does have heaps of potential, and the career mode will keep you busy for a while, especially when you consider a SingStar disk usually ships with 30 songs and a Lips disk with 40.
