I'd vote in this, except, um... I haven't played a lot of these :) I would assume the "worst" titles would be the least downloaded (in most cases). I suppose some people may have tried the demos though (considering Microsoft has that weird auto-download thing going on all the time.. I'd turn it off, but I really don't care).

Yaris is free and is Toyota publicity therefore it can stay.
Talking about publicity games I always wanted to try Sneak King.

People hate Yaris with passion but at least it was a free full game .A bad free full game but well it was free.
(Redundancy FTW)
Vote for Wing Commander Arena it is a disgrace to the Wing Commander name and the piece of crap was 800p and for what I see there are like 5 levels or something, the game is bad.

Sneak King is OK. The intro scene is hilariously creepy and the first couple surprise food presentations are kind of funny - until you realize that is the ENTIRE game (consisting of the same exact thing a couple hundred times). I heard that the kart racer one was better.

The funny thing is, I bought my Yaris before I had ever even heard of this game... So much for advergaming...

I was going to go with Wing Commander, but eventually I decided to vote for Contra because it's the worst version EVER! How do you fuck up contra!?!?!?

Easy, with lazy programming by some guys that didn’t test their game.
If you ask me games like Contra and N+ just need patches and that’s all but in the case of Wing Commander Arena not even rolling a 20 would save it. Kill WCA with fire!
Why there are votes against ECCO? Let the Tuna fish can stay.

Could be worse, you could have spent $8 to buy it on Virtual Console like I did. To date, it's the only VC game that I've deleted.
Failure.

Ugh. I bought it, as I thought, "Well, maybe my past impressions of the game were inaccurate."
Ten minutes into the game, I looked at the screen, looked at the wall, and said, "God damn it."
I too deleted it off my library - it not just because of the embarrassment in admitting I bought the game.

Remember, Pac Man came out first. I don't think anyone's going to lose any sleep if that's delisted. Though, I guess that was your point...
Also, I'm pretty sure you meant "when".

I kinda dug Marathon, but to me Soltrio Solitaire got my vote. "Honorable" mentions should probably go to Word Puzzle, BSG, and Shrek-N-Roll.
Anyone who bought the classic Namco games deserves what they got, considering they paid $5 for one game vs. under $20 for a used copy of Namco Collection-- don't get me wrong, they're great games, but way overpriced on XBLA. Same for the Konami classics, though in my defense I only got the two that I have free with a controller.

Yie Ar Kung-Fu
It's basically a 'what the hell were they thinking?' It's not like it was a new game that was made for XBLA. This is something they PORTED. I can think of 2,383 other classics they could port before Yie Ar Kung-Fu of all damn things.

Time Pilot? On the worst list? Really? Maybe I am blinded by nostalgia, but I love it now and I have always loved it since I played it back in the early 80s. Yie Ar Kung Fu has always been woeful though.

There is only one "worst XBLA game" and unfortunately, it's not even on that list. It is known as Totemball, and it's not even playable due to its offensively horrible vision camera-based control scheme. A game that cannot be played is not a game. It should not only be taken offline, it should be beheaded and have its rotting corpse put on display on the front page of the marketplace blade as an example to any other XBLA games that even think of being half as crappy.

Where is Yaris? I don't care that game was free, it fucking sucks and should be banished from existance. I'm ashamed to have that on my gamer profile.

Soltrio Solitaire
If this game has multiplayer, I would buy it just to get a good laugh everyday.

I thought it would be a hard decision, then I remembered that Shrek-n-roll was on the list. Anyone who didn't vote for it, hasn't played it. It's just that simple. It is barely a game, and there are literally THOUSANDS of free, online flash games FAR better than it. It is honestly worse than Yaris. Quite a bit worse, actually.
