Big Rigs Makes Play For Worst Game Of All Time

Thanks to GameSpot for its review of Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing for the PC, which it awards its worst score ever, 1.0/10, rhapsodizing: "Big Rigs is a game so astoundingly bad that it manages to transcend nearly every boundary put forth by some of gaming's absolute worst of the worst and easily makes it into that dubiously extraordinary category of being one of the most atrocious games ever published." The review goes on to explain some of that atrociousness, noting: "You can clip your truck right through every object on a race course in Big Rigs, from the biggest of houses and walls, right down to the smallest of lampposts. Furthermore, bridges evidently don't actually exist, despite the fact that you can see them - driving over any of them results in you sinking right through them." Although Big Rigs makes a valiant attempt, what videogame would you rate as the worst of all time?

Well, to be worst, there has to be an expectation that the game will be good. Big Rigs, obviously, did not have great expectations. Games that were supposed to be great, but ended up being mediocre or bad are much more interesting.

Black and White was supposed to change gaming as we knew it and instead was just a crappy game. Gamespot ranking: 9.3. Looks like the reviewer bought into the hype.

Dungeon Siege was also supposed to be a great game! And it was, for the 20 minutes it took to exhaust 100% of the gameplay. Gamespot Ranking: 8.4. At least it was more interesting than B&W.

It is easy to complain about the Aquamans and Big Rigs of the world, but did anyone really expect them to be great games?
