Hey, what’s the worst game to come out in the last year? If you guessed “Duke Nukem Forever”, you win a prize*.<\/p>\n

According to a poll run by marketplace site Playr2<\/a>, the Duke’s not-so-big comeback made it some kind of big with disgruntled voters, who decided it was the “most disappointing” game launched in the last twelve months.<\/p>\n

“With so many titles released every year, we wanted to look into which had been a hit with gaming fans; and which had failed to impress,” says Simon Kilby, founder of Playr2.com. “Given all the bad reviews that surrounded the release of Duke Nukem Forever, it wasn’t surprising to see it clinch the top spot as the most disappointing game for the past 12 months. I think fans and reviewers alike felt let down by the storyline and graphics, with it failing to impress many.<\/p>\n

“Many game titles have a lot to live up to, particularly if their predecessors have been a hit,” he adds. “Nevertheless, games are continuing to evolve in terms of graphic and features; so expectations are getting higher and higher all the time.”<\/p>\n
