Bethesda's futuristic racer, Wheelspin is the "worst Wii game ever", with a boot-up-the-arse score of 11% in Official Nintendo Magazine.
That's the lowest rating the mag's ever given to a Wii game, beating previous record holder, Hotel for Dogs, which got a seminal 12%.
The mag wades in with the opening paragraph: "Wheelspin is one of the worst games we've ever played."
"On paper the game sounds like an impressive achievement... In practice it falls apart quicker than a roll of toilet paper in a car wash," it adds.
The handling is "atrocious", the unavoidable collisions are "ridiculous", and the eight-player split-screen mode is "as fun as having a bath with defensive hedgehogs", apparently. But it does have lens flare.

You can also name and shame your own 'worst game evah' in the comments field below. Nominate a few and we might even do a Christmas feature on them.
