Name of the offending title: Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust.
What system was this forced upon: Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. We will be discussing the 360 version.
Who was responsible for this crap: So very many people. Team 17 developed it, Sierra/Vivendi commissioned it, Activision-Blizzard cast it off, Codemasters picked up, and it was published under the Funsta label. I suppose we have to, in some small way, credit Al Lowe for its existence as well, but the sins of the child cannot be entirely blamed on the parent, so we won't be yelling at him.
Date this abomination was foisted upon us: 03/31/09

Arcade Sushi: Today we’re sludging through the muck to find the worst of the worst- the worst rated games of this century- and, with the combined help of Metacritic and GameRankings‘ aggregated scores, we’ve found them. Put on your waders, folks, because we’re about to push through some of the biggest, stinkiest, worst-reviewed piles of crap this century’s ever seen. These are the Worst Reviewed Games of the 21st Century.
These are all pretty darn bad, but Big Rigs is entertaining. I highly recommend downloading it, if you get the chance.
b the title one might think that game involved were reviewed badly by the review community. Not that they were bad games.
