This creepy reworking of a classic fairy tale tells the story of growing up, and the only way to win is to ignore all the instructions.

A while back, we said that this whole “call a timeout right before a big play” business would end when someone called a timeout that nullified a great, game-winning play by his own team. That’s…

The Twins and Yankees getting nowhere in their attempt to complete a deal for Johan Santana, and the pinstripes might pull out of the Santana talks for good.

What better way to complement your LEGO-fied Wii than to build a LEGO-based Zapper holster for your Wiimote? mrklaw managed to do just that with a colorful assortment of old blocks, and yes, he even left an opening in the rear for the nunchuck. There’s also a finely crafted trigger depressor that mashes in the B button underneath, but we’ve no idea how well this thing would hold together after hours of flailing around while trying to peg on-screen baddies. Nevertheless, it’s a whole lot cheaper (provided you’ve got the parts, and c’mon, you’ve got the parts) than the alternatives out there, and it’s a darn good excuse to bust out the bricks your SO made you lock away after your 28th birthday.

Recently I was moving some of video games and I was shocked at just how many of them I started and never finished — and I don’t plan on finishing 95% of them (who am I kidding, I don’t plan on finishing 99.9% of them). So I started to look over the games that I have finished and I was shocked to discover how many of them were only “average” in quality at best. So instead of spending my valuable time finishing a quality game like Final Fantasy XII I instead finished Dark Reign (I was young and foolish!).

Which got me thinking about this week’s question, “What was the ‘worst’ video game that you completely finished?”

For me it would probably be … Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. This might sound a little harsh as in retrospect the game wasn’t really that bad. But after playing the original Legend of Zelda the day it came out (August 22, 1987 … yeah I’m old) and spending a week of wonderful sleepless nights plowing through that monumental game Zelda became, and still is, a true highlight of my gaming life. So after patiently waiting over two years for the sequel to the best game of all time up to that point in my life, Zelda II was supremely disappointing.

In theory mixing the side-scrolling gameplay of Super Mario with the RPG of the original Zelda would make for a fantastic game, but it didn’t. The two never gelled and to me Zelda II was disappointing in every aspect. The gameplay, the graphics, the music, the story, the ending, everything was a huge letdown. So perhaps it wasn’t necessarily the “worst” video game, but rather the most disappointing, but I think that still counts in my book.

Strangely I don’t regret playing and finishing it for one second. Playing a poor game only makes you appreciate the truly great games that much more.

So what was the worst game you completely finished? Tell me your story in the comments and next week I’ll select one random comment and give you some sweet gaming swag!
