The 3 worst and 2 best WWE video games

#1 Worst WWE game: WWE Aftershock (for the Nokia N-Gage)

Before we get to the last WWE game, let us tell you about a little portable system called the N-Gage. It's essential we do so you understand precisely why this game is on the list.

Nokia's N-Gage was the cell phone company's attempt at mixing a portable game system with a cellular telephone.

Back in 2002, when the system was released, this was an exciting concept. At the time, games on phones didn't get much more complex than Snake.

With Nintendo dominating the handheld market with their Game Boy Advance, the concept of a portable game system that also worked as a phone seemed like the best way to compete with the Japanese gaming giant.

Unfortunately, that also required the device to work as well as the Game Boy Advance. But that was not the case. The button layout tried to mix phone buttons with the game controls, and that didn't work.

The system's screen, to maximize phone features, was centered vertically (unlike the Game Boy Advance's horizontal screen), making playing games awkward.

Also, the phone was shaped like a taco, making using it as a phone was really weird, too.

These things are the primary factors as to why Aftershock is on this "worst" list. But they're not the only reasons.

It's unclear if publisher THQ was contractually obligated to release a WWE game for the handheld device, or they started making it and then realized nobody was buying the thing and stopped caring.

But what came out was a game that on any other portable gaming platform would be mediocre at best.

Granted, by the time the game was released in 2005, Nokia had released the N-Gage QD, a significantly redesigned version of the system. But, even with those improvements, Aftershock was still a chore to play.
