Has the GB crew ever given 0 out of 5 stars for a game?

I was just reading the grown ups review on screened.com here:  http://www.screened.com/grown-ups/16-193232/staff-review/
  and with it getting 0 stars it got me thinking of whether the GB crew has given a game the same score 
any you guys can think of?

5 stars 
 
Meaning 5 levels of grading
 
If there was a 0 star rating it would be 6 levels, breaking GB's rating system
 
Plus...Is there really a game that deserves 0 stars?

No. They don't have one in their FAQ, in contrary to Screened and they never use halves in staff reviews.

That would be stupid.  If you check their scale, 1 says "This game will make you wish you had died in a fire moments before turning it on."  Which means that it's the lowest of the low.  Putting a 0 would simply be a joke and would be the equivalent of putting "This game sucks, don't play it" as the sole sentence in the written review.

Screened uses zeros, Giant Bomb does not.

No, and a game that deserves zero stars is probably a game they don't think is worth covering.

And linked directly from that page: 

This game will make you wish you had died in a fire moments before turning it on. 

 
If there were a 0 star, then I really wouldn't want to experience that game.

0 stars is not on their scale. They discuss their scale on the help page.
 
There have been quite a few games getting 0 though. You can view them all by going here (it's all of the reviews sorted by star ranking, starting with the lowest)

While it isn't in their scale, recently Screened gave a 0/5 score for Grown Ups:

So I reckon even though they haven't already, anything's possible. You never know when they might come up with Big Rigs 2.

It's a 5 point scale, not 6.

Also, I think the Screened guys take the ratings a little less seriously than the GB crew.

Okay then - reading the fine print is probably not a waste of time. I just assumed that since GB has had a long standing scale of 1-5 starts and that they also had a 5 star rating that there must have been something in common between them since they're both Whiskey properties. Obviously Alex and the Matts thought that movies deserved to be rated 0/5.

In my opinion a zero star game is not really a game. So a zero star game does not exist.

Grown-Ups was definitely a movie worth breaking the rules of a scale for.

GTA4  = The story is garbage and the cast is unlikeable. So many shitty jokes, everything they say is either a smart-ass remark or a stupid joke. But this game has pretty graphics and wall cover mechanics so im sure people will defend it "
Sure is forced opinions in here. 
 
I'll go too, Metal Gear Solid is shit, Halo is shit, Call of Duty is shit, Madden is shit, TF2 is shit, Half-Life is shit, Counter Strike is shit, Company of Heroes is shit, BioShock is shit, God of War is shit, Fallout 2 is shit, Uncharted 2 is shit, Killzone 2 is shit, Mario is shit, Zelda is shit. But these games have fans, so I'm sure people will defend them. I'm not at all a retard, uh, huh, not at all.
