Best Of
Video games aren’t built to be shoddy works of art.
At least, not intentionally, anyway.
So, what is it that makes a bad game surprisingly good?
Is it possible for one redeeming quality to outweigh a truckload of poor ones?
At face value, of course, it’s easy to shrug it off as just another simulation game.
But ten minutes of experiencing it first-hand, however, will suggest otherwise.
Seems like a recipe for success, no?
So, what isShaq Fu,besides a blatant excuse to poke fun at a world class athlete?
A bad one, at that.
So bad, that the game went down as being one of the worst video games ever developed.
And we all know what happens when a game gets that sort of branding.
Did someone say cult classic?
Take the Nintendo 64 game, for example.
But let’s face it, the game was terrible.
Like, hit-a-turkey-in-the-butt-with-a-snowball sort of terrible.
Not quite the magnum opus of comedy, eh?
Duke Nukem Forever
Oh boy, whatever happened to Duke Nukem?
That didn’t seem to stop his puppeteer from wanting to cash in on a sequel, though.
Duke Nukem Foreveris absolutely loaded with cringe humor, oversexualized characters, and questionably shallow personalities.
Basically, it’s everything the series was known for back in its golden years only ten times worse.
Of course, third-person tactical shooters aren’t exactly uncommon in this day and age.
ButRogue Warrior,on the other hand, sticks out like a sore thumb.
Sort of sounds like everything you’d want to check out just for the laughs, right?
Well, therein lies your reason for its immense popularity.
