Kusoge (クソゲー, Kusogē) is a Japanese term that refers to poor quality video games which may contain unintentional humour. The phrase is a compound of two words: "Kuso" (), or shit, and "Ge" (ゲー), the shortened form for "game" in wasei-eigo (ゲーム, gēmu). The term is thought to have been coined by Jun Miura, a writer and illustrator for the Japanese video game magazine Famitsu, in 2002.

The word is used heavily on the internet, especially by users on 2channel and similar sites.
