we've all seen the awesomley bad songs on vh1. probably have awesomely bad movies, but what about games? what games are awesomely bad? this could be a very interesting thread.

i'm not sure how to define awesomely bad, (maybe great at the time, but looking back you see it sucks howeverit still holds a place in your heart?)but i hopefully you get the gist.

off the top of my head

the original mortal kombat - arcade

dragon warrior - nes

lethal enforcers - arcade

the getaway - ps2

xenophage - pc

i haven't really thought this through, but thought it would make a great topic

Big Rigs Over the Road Racing. It's so bad it's awesome. This is a game that was so terrible that it lowered the bar for just how bad games could be. To date it is the only game to have "earned" a 1.0 score from Gamespot (if you haven't seen the review, btw, go watch it, it's hilarious).

Bloodwake on the original xbox. I tried playing it for an hour , and gave up. I hated that game for many reasons. I think I threw it in the garbage.

'Fatal Inertia' on the 360.. The 360 really needed a futuristic racer, but unfortunatly this title falied miserably..

I was under the illusion that this title was created by some of the individuals responsible for 'Wipeout'..

Obviously they got it wrong this time !

Lol.

It's got to be the interactive movie stuff when the CD=Roms just started getting into use. I never really played them mind.

Area 51 - PS2/Xbox: Absolutely loved this game. Army of Two: One of my favorite franchises Legend of Dragoon - PS: They needs a remake THEN a sequel EarthWorm Jim: Seriously, its Earthworm Jim. ToeJam & Earl: Does anyone other than me remember this? Primal Rage: A game that involved fighting as dinosaurs. EPIC! God, there is so many. Most I can not even recall.

Seriously? I didn't think it was all that bad. Not the greatest, but not horrible.

Superman 64. What makes it so awesome is when you're in awe at how much the devs didn't give a damn about making a quality game.

Uhm...All the Battlefield games. Up to Bad Company they were grenade spamfests, and after Bad Company they were Modern Warfare + tanks.

Heavy Barrel. I loved this arcade game when I was young but after seeing it again recently...let's just say the magic was gone. Kind of makes me sad.

Only one I can think of at the moment is Brutal Legend. It tried to do everything at once, but really only emerged as a jack of all trades... Yet, for some reasonm, I loved it :)

I probably don't give it enough credit but John Woo's Stranglehold on the Xbox 360 is just terrible. I played the first level and the gameplay was so poor I've never returned to it. It only cost me a fiver, but still I feel I have been short changed!

Eternal Ring for the PS2. It was so bad and awesome at the same time. I had a lot of fun with it, but I'd never play through it again lol.

I so wanted to like it, but the slow pace and extreme ugliness wore me down. Maybe I should have drank more coffee. : )
