Best Game to Make You Hate Yourself - Wii Fit
For this one, I'm not talking about how the game makes you weigh yourself and then gives your Mii a little paunch, and I'm not talking about how the game brings to light your complete and utter inability to do a proper push-up. No, I'm talking about something more insidious. I'm talking about how you convinced yourself to buy Wii Fit because this time you were actually going to do it. You were going to lose weight, because now you were combining exercise with video gaming. I'm talking about how soon after starting Wii Fit you started making excuses for not playing it.
The jogging mini game isn't really jogging. There's no way to queue up exercises so you have to keep going in the menus. Who does yoga any way? Soon, even with the Wii Fit channel constantly reminding you that it's been nine months since your last Wii Fit test, and the balance board sitting in the corner mutely judging your slothful ways, you still don't exercise and you still haven't lost weight. Thanks Wii Fit, thanks for making me hate myself. And thanks for making me pay 90 bucks for the privilege.
Worst Ending - Fallout 3
Wait, so even though there are a number of companions that can survive an immense dose of radiation, including one guy who actually likes how it feels, you want me to either sacrifice myself, or that woman over there, the one that I just met and don't give a damn about, to save this stupid project? My choices are either to live and continue to eke out a cruddy existence in a world where I'm constantly under threat of being violated by massive scorpions, or die and never have to drink irradiated water out of a toilet again? Wow. Some choice. Well, I'm going in, and I hope you like your purified water with a healthy dose of FEV, cause I ain't about to save no SuperMutant who's not willing to lend a hand. Vaya con dios Wasteland. Look me up when you get a better ending.
So there they are—the best of the worst. Hopefully next year we'll see some improvement in these areas, but probably not, which is just as well as January of 2010 will no doubt be a slow month and we'll need the content.
