The most disappointing mobile games of 2008

At least, those covered by our PocketGamer.biz Quality Index

The most disappointing mobile games of 2008
We revealed the best mobile games of 2008 earlier today, based on ratings on popular review websites tracked by our PocketGamer.biz Quality Index.

But what about the titles at the bottom of the chart? Well, we're publishing the bottom ten games in the list below, although there's a caveat.

These aren't the ten worst games of 2008. The absolute worst mobile games don't tend to get reviewed by enough sites to qualify for the index. There are dozens of adult mobile games much worse than the titles on our list, for example.

Instead, think of these as ten of the most disappointing mobile games from established mobile publishers last year, with five movie licences sitting not-so-proudly at the bottom.
