Top ten lists normally revolve around edifying that which is competent and successful but, honestly, who wants to read about good stuff? Sometimes it’s a hell of a lot more fun to just get that frustration out by reading about stuff that totally sucks. With this in mind (and at the risk of sounding like a bitter jerk) here’s a run-down of ten acts of atrocity that have been committed this console generation. This gallery is in no particular order.

Final Fantasy 13


Final Fantasy 13

Is it unfair of me to pick on one game specifically in this list? Maybe, but in the case of Final Fantasy 13, I feel like my rants are justified. Many have felt that the series has been on a downward spiral since number 10, but it was only with 13 that my fears were confirmed. Square managed to turn one of the most successful and pioneering franchises within the genre into a flamboyant and linear excuse for an RPG. Granted, Final Fantasy 14 was an even greater embarrassment, but there was a genuine chance that 13 could've restored the series to its former glory.
