I can't help but think of desert bus.... - gutterboy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19 This is an interesting truism I never really thought about. I can watch B movies all day but a slightly crappy game turns me off instantly. My nemesis is crappy rubber band AI.
- JeffreyLebowski, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18This article is in desperate need of screenshots and/or video.
- ummagummas08, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Wait, am I the only one who doesnt see a list of games or something? He only mentions like ..4 games.
- brsteve88, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Here's why people don't like B games. If you go to a B movie, you spend maybe eight bucks. A B-level TV show doesn't cost you anything but some of your time. But if I shell out sixty bucks or more for a game, it better be good.
- gutterboy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Hahah 0.0 I love the video review.
- Nysul, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Movies are two hours. Most games today are 30-50. I can take two hours of "so bad it's fun", I can't take 30. And even if the game was 2 hours it would have to be $0.99 to be worth it (perhaps free with a whopper or something, hey, that reminds me, Sneak King is bad in a good way).

Why did I immediately figure you must have played Motorstorm recently? - aywwts4, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Revolution X, So bad its hilarious
Music is your weapon, so lets fly around with Areosmith and shoot guys in yellow coats with CDs.
Its hilarious, give it a download. - phantom_mullet, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Ahahahahahahaha....we totally bought "Big Rigs" for our foreign exchange student from Hong Kong. We got it from the Walmart bargain bin. He loved that game.
- Canislupis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I have this game somewhere. it makes a great gift for your friends.

Dude that Big Rigs review was HILARIOUS. Thanks!!!! - SpectralSounds, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4When I think of B movies, I think of MST3k. FTW!
- romainechester, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4My god! I just watched the video review.
Laughed my ass off! - sexybobo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4http://tinyurl.com/3boedp
Download the worst game ever - Gundabad, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I know its too popular to ever have a "B-game" title slapped on it, but the first Resident Evil is a great example for me. You like it cause its a great game, but its so easy to make fun of the awful voice acting.
- mashw, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3"Wanna pull a double shift?"
- kufu91, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4I dunno, Streets of Sim City comes to mind.
- Beerduck, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I have to say, Zero Wing was actually a pretty good game. That is if you managed to block out the intro and crappy engrish from your head. :P
- modpancake, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jordan:_Chaos_in_the_Windy_City is all I have to say.
- Dustin00, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I think Matt just hit the issue: B movies are funny because you laugh at them with your friends. You experience the horror together and you can both laugh at it.
With a game, you're often playing alone and with nobody else to laugh at the disfunctionallity it's just frustrating/boring. - samury, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Blue Stinger comes to my mind.
Weird bug creatures that explode into money, a shotgun which is obviously a sub-machine gun, steam-powered piston fists and chainsaw fish. Oh, and you buy guns off vending machines. I enjoyed that game thoroughly, even though I admit it's very bad. - spyrochaete, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4This was a poorly organized article. Italics aren't sufficient to highlight the titles, and the first thing the reader wants to do is scan the article. There ought to have been, say, a subtitle for each game with a paragraph or two about why it's so awful.
- dvddesign, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2EDF:2017 on the Xbox 360 is a perfect B-Game. Hours of killing plastic looking bugs and giant shiny metal robots with horrid acting and voice work.
Add in that your weapons are ridiculously overpowered and explosive.
Oodles of fun. - dantsai, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2"When I found myself stuck in one of the monotonously identical battle rooms of Fantastic Four, unable to figure out how to escape because the crack-addict designers hadn't put any vaguely intuitive clues in place, I wasn't, you know, giggling over my predicament. I was trying to keep from throwing my controller out the window."
it's far more amusing as a spectator, watching your friend flair around a poorly designed game. The amusement tends to grow with the frustration level of the player. - itsJALbert, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Rent-A-Hero #1 fits the bill perfectly. Too bad the Xbox version had the US release cancelled...
- coreytn81, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Bad games are usually bad because they are broken or do not function as they were intended. If you went to go see a movie, and the sound or video cut out, it would ruin the movie, regardless of content. A "B" movie at least functions. The same for a CD or album you listen to. If the song or music just stops, jitters, or skips, than it's broken. It's not just poor quality, it's just not a functioning media. Bad games are either bad because they're filled with bugs, or they just don't work as intended. The rest are either not appealing to a certain audience (same with movies or music).
- TalkingBanana, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Really great read.
- rm999, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2"These Games Are So Bad, It's Not Funny"
Big Rigs can't make this list because it was hilarious (assuming you didn't pay 15 dollars for it). I downloaded it, and couldn't stop laughing for about 20 minutes straight. - annihilator675, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2YOU'RE WINNER!!!!!
- necbone, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5This article is full of aids and fail.... no pics of the boxes....
FAIL - Hermitwise, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3no Dead Rising was a bad game because it has an overall time limit, NEVER PUT AN OVERALL TIME LIMIT IN A SINGLE PLAYER GAME, ever, I don't care what the plot is. I never want to have to worry about hurrying when I want to explore a game world. It was the same way with Pikmin, Pikmin 2 was essentially the same game except minus the overall time limit, which made it an amazingly better game in comparison. (end rant)
- DestroyPoseurs, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2One major exeption to this rule I have seen. I remember I bought some horrific football game quite a few years ago, and there was alot of stuff I found hilarious in the same way one would laugh at a B movie. I remember if the opposing team called a time out, the camera would zoom in on them standing in a huddle on the field. But the game never had you lose control of the player you had, so you could, if you remembered your position on the field when the play ended, run up to the group of huddled players and tackle them. Even the coach could be tackled like this. You could also do the same thing if an injured player was walking off the field. The camera would zoom in on them hobbling off and you could go and tackle him. I could sit there for hours ***** myself laughing while I did either of those things.
- Beerduck, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11. That action RPG was Septerra Core. Couldn't be finished because it always crashed in a same boss battle. Only way to complete it was to use a cheat code that let you skip battles.
2. Ultima IX. HUGE amounts of bugs and flaws. Don't know if they ever repaired them so it was playable.
3. Arx Fatalis. Was initially unplayable because of bugs, but those were fixed pretty quick.
It's sad but I'd say at least 50% of all PC games have some bugs that make them unplayable at release. That's because the publishers are greedy bastards who pressure developers into releasing unfinished games and then just patch everything later on. - allisonaxe, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1i agree. a game has to be playable first, but the actual play-CONTENT is what makes a game earn its "b-movie" status.
dynamite cop was actually the very first thing i thought of, followed shortly by Cannon Spike and then "Spikeout: Battle street"
seriously, spikeout is maybe the BEST example. its on x-box, and its basically an online 3d revitalization of games like Streets of Rage. the character designs are rediculous (the main character wears hot pink sweatpants), the voice-acting is hillariously awful, and the story is completely lame (boy comes home to save his home turf that his father's gang lost, or something stupid to that effect.) - Hoinah, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Hahah I remember playing Big Rigs jokingly first year of college. Oh god was it awful.
- jedikv, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1needed pics of the first game they mentioned
- Asianwaste, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I remember on Sean Baby's column on EGM he mentioned a game that was so bad it was good. Fugitive Hunter was this pretty standard FPS, but with one twist: Every boss you meet, whom are real figures on the FBI's most wanted list, you would, after shooting a legion of endless henchmen, confront eye to eye and agree to settle the score (in his words) "the way God meant it: with Kung-fu". Supposedly you would both throw both your weapons away and then duke it out. The idea of the last boss, Kung-Fu Osama Bin Laden almost made me piss my pants.
- AwesomeMonster, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1GOON!
- spartan777, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1best quote from the article:
"Like pornography, we know fun when we see it." - Tikkimann, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1There is a game so bad it's good. Hasn't anyone else played Michael Jackson's Moonwalker? That game is so unintentionally funny, it hurts.
- SirBriggs, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I disagree, when you're with friends, it instantly becomes a joke. The game has to be really bad for this to work, as ordinary suckiness is boring. Glitches = fun in this situation.
I tends to wear on one, though. - millinao, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I played it, it was actually fun
- caddyalan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I don't expect that 98 percent of today's games will be remembered in a few decades. Only a few trend-setters and genre-defining games will become classics.
- thelegacy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1space quest! i played i think the first 4 of those religiously. excellent series
- thelegacy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1By far the best video review of all time
- GenghisRon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Thrill Kill, 'nuff said
- spatulacity, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Oh yeah...that game was the reason I bought the jump pack for my Dreamcast.
Something really satisfying about whacking an enemy with the shock stick and having the controller try to jump out of my hand. - TCKC2C, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Furthermore, it's priced as a budget game to complement the relative tackyness of the game. Superb value for money for what you get too.
