Looking to watch our show, but daunted by the size of our video back catalogue? Might I suggest our "Suggested Viewing" playlist on YouTube, comprised of hand-picked episodes we feel serve as some of the best on-boarding onto the Bad Game Hall of Fame! youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
'Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green' released on this day in 2005.
An underwhelming tie-in game to the underwhelming Romero zombie flick. Suffers from monotonous combat, braindead enemy AI, and haphazard level design. Its multiplayer mode did manage some longevity on PC.
A new episode of "Bad Game Chance Time" is up now on YouTube! In space, no one can hear Owen Wilson screaming in Tibet. youtu.be/Ds6hrlERioc
'Skull Island: Rise of Kong' released on this day in 2023.
Developed in a year's time by a studio working on behalf of GameMill, clearly hoping to capitalize on Kong's modern film resurgence. Widely mocked for its poor presentation, sub-par gameplay, and litany of glitches.
'007 Legends' released on this day in 2012.
Activision's final title with the James Bond license. Intended to serve as a celebration of the film franchise's 50th anniversary - reinterpreting past movies as missions - the game was slammed as a half-hearted "Call of Duty clone."
Our playthrough of 'Jumper: Griffin's Story' for Nintendo Wii is up now on YouTube! *Teleports behind you* Psssh... Nothin' personnel... kid... youtube.com/watch?v=vdZzQUJr…
'Night Trap' released on this day in 1992.
Perhaps the poster child for both the Sega CD and the whole FMV genre. A campy experiment in tedious memorization, most infamous for its involvement in a Senate hearing which threatened the legal status of the American games industry.
You can get all the bloody details in our article on the game: badgamehalloffame.com/night-…
'Ju-on: The Grudge' released on this day in 2009.
Described as a "haunted house simulator," intended to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Ju-On film franchise. Sluggish traversal is occasionally punctuated by laughable attempts at jump scares, but mostly by tedious QTEs.
You can watch our full playthrough of the half-baked haunted house simulator here, if you dare: youtu.be/bltHYWYB4Uk
'Duke Nukem 3D' on the Sega Mega Drive released on this day in 1998.
Tec Toy's "conversion" of Duke 3D to the Mega Drive is nothing short of a technical marvel. Unfortunately; it is also frustratingly clunky, notoriously difficult, and challenging to even visually parse.
There's actually a lot to be said about this curious cartridge: We could highlight its technical achievements, try to appreciate the unique level designs, or even compare its content to the original game.
Anyway, here's a funny version of "Grabbag": youtube.com/watch?v=GR4EknwS…
Bad Game Hall of Fame retweeted
@BadGameHOF Nice to meet you. The military computer was feeling cold so the hat helped.
'Link: The Faces of Evil' and 'Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon' released on this day in 1993.
Developed under a licensing agreement, owing to Nintendo's dealings with Philips. These two action-adventure Zelda titles have gone down in infamy, primarily for their uncanny animation.
'Yaris' released on this day in 2007.
A free XBLA advergame intended to promote a line of Toyota vehicles, by depicting them as carrying an assortment of laser weapons fit to fend off foes. Delisted after a year due to overwhelming negative reception / widespread mockery.
'Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal' released on this day in 2007.
Ratchet & Clank by way of the Merrie Melodies gang, developed by the short-lived Australian studio "Redtribe." A truly tedious slog made all the more frustrating by half-baked co-op and faux-"Disc Read Errors."
You can watch us play through the entirety of its PS2 version [as a co-op campaign] here. That's all, folks! youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
Finally, it's the grand finale to 'Darkest of Days,' up now on YouTube! Watch as we find our way out of bounds, combat corrupted autosaves, and suffer one of the most unnecessarily shocking twists in gaming history. youtu.be/pXZXx40mt8w
