The Losers of the Yearlies
Me and friends do tournament brackets for games we like each year.
Every last place game from every year. Left column is just for the year. This does not work on mobile.
Keep in mind that these brackets were the best we could come up with, so of course the last place games will still probably be great.

Lost 3-2 against The Simpsons: Road Rage in Losers Round 1
Enthusiasm for Jak was low and The Simpsons was going through its own character arc, so the odds were never in Jak's favor.

I was so close to saving this one, but in the end, I still wouldn't have changed my vote.

Lost 3-2 against Mario Party 2 in Losers Round 1
It also went up against The Sims earlier so this game was just not having a good day.

Lost 3-2 against Thief II: The Metal Age in Losers Round 1
Even if we didn't genuinely prefer Thief over Tony, I'm sure we would've voted for Thief anyway because we felt bad about Nicktoons Racing sending it here.

Now if this was a bracket on box art, the European copy with its hyper-realistic Dr. Wily would take first easily.

Lost 4-1 against The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy in Losers Round 1
While I originally had no interest in this game, the horrific screenshots that could cause nightmares in those who view them kind of sold me.
