If you're a fan of space combat sims like Elite and Colony Wars, I need to talk with you about DarkStar One. But I need to whittle down the crowd a bit first, so hang tight.
DarkStar One is a PC game from 2006 that's been ported as-is to the Xbox 360, with only an improved resolution to show for the jump. The dialog sounds like the worst community theater from every country was gathered to read a half-finished Babylon 5 script aloud, and everyone there was asked to switch accents with the person closest to them. The cinematics look like deleted scenes from a bootleg DVD of ReBoot. There are frequent graphical glitches, and it completely froze up on me no fewer than twice at wholly inconvenient moments. There are local furniture commercials with better special effects.

Ha it was awful even back then when fmv games were "da bomb". Yeh that didn't last.
Sonic CD and Silpheed were the only memorable Sega cd games (from my old broken memory at least)
The other one I had was Jurassic Park. I was stuck at the T-Rex screen, where you had to steal its eggs. I found out years later after I sold it that I needed a bullhorn or something to scare it away.
Aaron from Leviathyn.com has concerns about the new crowdfunding attempt by space-sim auteur Chris Roberts. But he's rather excited, too.
With so many awesome games this year, it's easy to forget those gems that didn't have a multi-million dollar marketing campaign behind them.

yet one site just called this one of the worst games of 2010.
