Wut? It may be bad in many areas, but it's certainly way better than FF13 and 14 combined.

How absurd, AP isn't a shiny turd, it's a turd turd. Do they really consider AP to be 'polished'?

Then go and vote for it. Do your duty.

this saddens me

 

[Felix]

AP has more votes than turd unleashed 2?

At least FF is at the top

I like their "Better than Jesus" list. Alas, I'm afraid none of those games is capable of treading waters, healing horrible diseases, forming a cult following spanning well over a millennium, reforming hookers and turning wine into water. The latter would be especially important, as it would be a means to make some of the list's games enjoyable.

Unless of course they meant it as a better crucifixion target, in which case all of them will do.

How can I vote for Arcania?

No Arcania = why does this poll even exist? Or maybe it's worst game besides Arcania?

I wasn't thrilled with Alpha Protocol, but it certainly wasn't anything approaching worst game of the year.

 

[Sceptic]

Voting is rigged. It's the Florida debacle all over again. I was going to vote FF14 but it registered my vote as AP instead.

FF14 is still in #1 spot though

There are many shittier, but more hyped games around deserving of such nomination. Like for example, Fallout 3 and Fable. Not that AP doesn't suck, but they are even worse.

Where the fuck is Turdania?

 

[Merkwürdigliebe]

So why are all the games in the "better than jesus" category really shitty games? Why can't I vote blackops for the turdier game? I have a very hard time taking that site seriously.

 

[grotsnik]

I think Alpha Protocol falls under the 'Games It Was Fashionable For Gaming Critics To Shit All Over ' category here. Hence its inclusion.

Or maybe it just sucks? Just a thought.

I'd assume quite a few AP votes to be meant for Final Faggotry XIV, the poll layout is inherently confusing.

 

[Volourn]

This is one award that AP truly deserves.

This is one award that AP truly deserves.

Stop the lies, start the truths.

Or maybe it just sucks? Just a thought.

Leave the thinking to others....

What a bad site

FIVE GAMES. FIVE BUTTONS.

Yes, very complicated.
