5. Extreme Chess
The marketing definition of “extreme”: A chess engine stronger than 99.9% of human opponents.
The reality: A chess engine stronger than 99.9% of human opponents. Sorry, a big green ‘x’ does not make chess extreme. It also doesn’t help that they list “massive database” as one of the game’s highlights.

If it were actually extreme: Every time you lose a piece someone holds a revolver with one bullet in it to your forehead and pulls the trigger. Not in the game, in your living room. That’s how much it takes to make chess extreme.
4. Kayak Extreme!
The marketing definition of “extreme”: White water rapids.
The reality: A Windows 98 game in which unlocking new paddles is a feature.
If it were actually extreme: There would be no kayaks – just a man, a coat of Vaseline, and ragdoll physics.
