My Family Has The Worst Taste

You know when you have a family member vaguely understands that you like video games, but when stood in front of a shelf has no idea how to discern the good from the bad? These are the games that were supposed to be gifts but made my life worse. Lightly organized from most offensive to least offensive.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
I barely got past the first screen of this game before deciding it sucked and putting it down forever... As one should do with any Harry Potter game.
Classic NES Series: Zelda II - The Adventure of Link
Classic NES Series: Zelda II - The Adventure of Link
When I got this game it was in the midst of an 11-hour road trip across the province. Literally having nothing to play was a better time than this.

I remember Rock Band being one of the few video games my mom could ever get into, so she got this for the family as well. I think the singing in that game made her think that this would be good too but I'm sorry to say that it's not.
Ben 10: Protector of Earth
Ben 10: Protector of Earth
I have never seen a single frame of Ben 10 in my life. I have never uttered the name Ben 10 in my life, let alone done so around a family member. This game is still sitting in my closet in its shrink-wrap.
Excite Truck
Excite Truck
Played this maybe once before putting it down. Not a truck guy, give me back the bikes.
Cars

Not outrageously bad but even 10 year old me could tell how forgettable this was. Take it from a Mario Kart Wii hater, I'd rather be playing Mario Kart Wii.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog
I may be a Sonic 06 contrarian now, but as a kid I grew up with the even-worse PS3 version, and child-me was not so forgiving.
Rayman Raving Rabbids
Rayman Raving Rabbids
The birth of a dark era for our poor little Rayman.
Finding Nemo: The Contiuing Adventures
Finding Nemo: The Contiuing Adventures
This one is actually kind of okay but the Dentist level blows so hard it craters the rating down to one star. I wonder how close I came to actually beating it...?

Erm... Also I think someone on IGDB seems to have misspelt this as "contiuing" instead of "continuing"
