Worst Games in the World - The Review Log
Posted: Sun Jul 31, 2011 11:03 am
Hi all. Just wanted to take some time to detail a new review feature I'm going to be writing soon-ish.
As you've probably gathered from the title of the thread, this feature is going to be called The Worst Games in the World. It was an idea I'd had when trying to apply for a staff writer's job at StickTwiddlers, but that fell through so I'm going to do it in our very own Review Centre, at least until somebody else wants to take me up on it/I get my own website started.
There's hundreds of crap games around, not including licensed movie titles/games that some people love but others hate. We're talking games like Two Worlds, Lair, Haze, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, Superman 64 etc etc. But are they actually as bad as their reputation would have you believe, or underneath a piss-poor budget and below average game design, is there actually some fun to be had?
In some cases, the answer will be no. Looking at that list of examples, I'm sure some of you can maybe spot those games. In others, they might actually be worth a go. I'm taking it upon myself to find them.
ALSO - If you want to inflict pain and suffering on me (and who doesn't?), feel free to suggest some games towards the feature. I will literally play ANYTHING, within reason (I don't care how bad they are, games created for a girls market are a no-no). I'm even debating finding a copy of Smarties Meltdown and seeing if it's BC on PS3...

EDIT: Jan 2012 - The Worst Games in the World feature is now live! Every time a new review is posted (usually the day after I've finished playing a game), this post will be updated with the links.
