14. Medal Of Honor

In 1999, the first Medal of Honor game released for the Playstation, to critical acclaim. Produced by none other than Steven Spielberg, the world war shooter was lauded as a game as amazing as Nintendo's own Goldeneye 64, but the series eventually faded in the face of Call of Duty.

EA's 2010 reboot of the brand tried to bring the spark back to Medal of Honor, but went about it in the worst way imaginable: exploitation.

The by-the-numbers single player of scripted explosions, set in backdrops of 'real life Middle-East combat scenarios', or the multiplayer letting you play as the Taliban, all felt incredibly exploitative of actual military scenarios.

Regardless, the MoH name was popular enough to have a sequel. That sequel, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, is regarded as one of the worst FPS games of all time, with a lacklustre campaign, visual errors, and performance drops everywhere.

It even had the brazen idea of DLC maps based on Zero Dark Thirty, a documentary on the search for Bin Laden. Because if at first you fail miserably, do it again?
