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…
'Skyscraper' released on this day in 2008.
A budget FPS take on 'Die Hard' with a vision-impaired chemist dweeb for a protagonist, by way of the developers behind 'Beverly Hills Cop' on PS2 -- published by no less than shovelware titans Midas Interactive.
Tuck into a slice of cake and tune in to our full playthrough here. Be warned that you might accidentally wind up finding this game charming: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
'Legendary' released on this day in 2008.
One of a small handful of titles published by the short-lived Gamecock Media Group. An FPS which pits you against mythological creatures, dismally muddy visuals, and an endless procession of mindless combat encounters.
You can open up Pandora's Box and watch our playthrough here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
The first episode of our 'From Dusk Till Dawn' playthrough is up now on YouTube! Tune in for the history behind this curious tie-in game, experiments in slow motion, and more vampires than you can shake a stake at. youtu.be/g3c3ps3I2Cc

‘Extreme Paintbrawl’ released on this day in 1998.
Marketed as "The First Non-Violent 3D Shooter." Reportedly developed in just two weeks time, and leveraging a half-functional version of the Build engine that functions exclusively within MS-DOS running on Windows 95.
(In)famously features a soundtrack by musician Todd Duane, consisting of supposed "demo" tracks that had been submitted for the company's approval -- intended to be finished later. This never came to pass.
Todd later released the same demos as an album. youtube.com/watch?v=VLBxESMl…
You can watch us play through the game in full (as well as walk folk through how to properly configure the game for themselves) as part of our "Painful Paintball Games!" video: youtube.com/watch?v=qf88hzqx…
'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
