The 30 worst video games of all time – part one

From ET the Extra Terrestrial to Leisure Suit Larry, here are the games that shot for the stars but crashlanded in the gutter

Every gamer has a tale of the worst game they ever played.

It may have been the utterly catastrophic sequel to a much-loved classic, a rushed tie-in with a favourite movie, or an experimental new release from a favourite studio.

Night Shyamalan movie.
