Got to be StarCraft64, hands down....
Top 10 worst console ports of all time.

Had you in mind, you're the wiggest banker around here.
True that, I did forget that the 7950 is nowhere near powerful enough for a game of this extreme. Silly me, there is a reason that Crytek go to Blue Castle for lessons.
As for GTA IV, it is pretty bad but I think a lot of it is Nvidia/AMD no longer bothering to put optimization for it in the drivers for their newest hardware. Not too sure though, it ran pretty nicely on a 6850.
EDIT: Woah no, the award for worst ever port does go to GTA IV...

They probably gave up because they realised that no matter how far you go with optimisations from the driver, the ultimate **** that Rockstar have coded still drags the system to its knees
Capcom are an Nvidia TWIMTBP dev go figure why owning an AMD GPU is a bad idea if you buy any of Capcoms gamesHad you in mind, you're the wiggest banker around here.

That's GTA4.

Resident Evil 5 - Solid 60fps, doesn't budge.
Street Fighter x Tekken - 250fps on benchmark.
Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition - 290fps on benchmark.
Crysis 2 - DX11 Ultra 1200p, very high, haven't used an overlay to work out yet.
Dead Rising 2 has flawless performance on older AMD GPU and works perfectly on newer AMD GPU's when you disable the depth of field.
They stopped you from disabling the depth of field in Off The Record simply because it cripples newer AMD GPU's. Nvidia are nazi's mate, but trying to say buying capcom or twimtbp games on AMD is a bad idea is quite frankly retarded.
Ah but no one played that because it was so rare...
And it lacked any competition for rte games on the 64 therefore it couldn't have been that bad

+1 for GTA IV. Great game, and looks good with mods, but runs terrible. The last few Nvidia driver release's have put the final nail in the coffin. It runs worse for me than ever now.

Although not exactly a great game, I didn't have any performance issues with War in the North at 1080p and my GTX470 at stock clocks. Likewise, Skyrim ran fine for the most part as well, though I realise you were more slating how barren the game is in certain areas and not necessarily how it performs.
I've also never had issues with GTA IV (not even with RGSC or GFWL) -- even when I was using my HD4890 and CPU at stock speeds
Don't play many games but these stand out:
Crysis 2 when it was first released - press "start" to begin, TV mode etc. etc. no options to tweak at all, rubbish textures (2D bottles with the water LOL!), hand holding for console users throughout, linear levels
Transformers War for Cybertron - capped at 30FPS, couldn't change key bindings, no options to choose from at all
Stars wars force unleashed games and generally any other film tied in game especially the super hero ones like spiderman etc.

I must be one of the few "lucky" ones to have tried it

Resident Evil 4 & Splinter Cell: Double Agent
I would say Deus Ex: Invisible War, but that's more down to design choices than porting per say.

Final fantasy 7 or.. 8?
luckily there was a TNT2 patch for the FFVII and you could run other nvidia gfx cards using this.

For sheer performance requirements, surely the original Halo has to be near the top of the list? I remember playing it whilst at Uni and it ran absolutely horribly with the best of the best hardware at the time and even a few years later, it still ran like a dog.
