This according to GameRankings.com .... Wow, a DS game on there already, Ping Pals...

There's one game I don't believe you got on there, I don't remember the name though. It a trucking "racing" game where when you start the truck beside you stays still, you can drive through anything and there is no sound at all. And I see no barbie games.

Crash · 04-09-2005, 02:24 AM

not big mother truckers .... I've never played it, but was supposed to be awesome, in a crazy taxi way...

Stonecutter · 04-09-2005, 02:26 AM

Oh please

"according to gamerankings"

and

"all time"

should never be used together.

50 worst games of the Gamerankings/Internet era, sure, but not all time.

I'm proud to say I've never played ANY of those.

Ehm, that dark blue font isn't working too well on my screen for the FusionX style.

dropCGCF · 04-09-2005, 03:28 AM

I don't like DBZ, but 29 is a BAD call.

Methodize · 04-09-2005, 04:13 AM

I played SUperman 64...yeah it was pretty bad

You know you like games when..

you play Superman 64 and try to juice an enjoyable experience out of it!

Hey, I liked it. The controls were pretty balls, and the last level may have been confusing as balls, but balls if I didn't like it in the end. I found the most enjoyment out of it hiding the car in the training stage for my friend to find in a different part of the city. We spent all night hiding that car and finding it.

I also liked Shaq Fu. I made one of the first ever text FAQs on it, describing all of the moves and secrets you could unlock. However, that text file has been long since lost. I would've submitted it to gamefaqs, too. But I enjoyed it, and I am also probably the only person on the face of the planet to beat hard mode. It was hard as balls.

I remember playing the demo for Drake of the 99 Dragons on the OXM disc, and I didn't find it all that godawful. Maybe some people are just frustrated by "bad" games, but I find them fascinating.

Now, a half-assed game like Halo 2, that's a whole different story. I hate when developers don't even flesh out their ideas. There's a fine line between half-assery and going in a really wrong direction. Halo 2 is 100% half-assery, whereas Superman 64 was probably created by honest, unexperienced French programmers who put their heart into the project. A few other examples of half-assery I didn't like: Fable, and KOTOR. So much potential, but one was never really fleshed out, and the other got mind-numbingly boring. There's simple things they could fix that would make it better, but obviously they (1) Didn't have enough time or money, or (2) had mind-numb QA working on their code.

In conclusion, it goes without saying that I enjoy all games.
