As a 'crap game' fan, you need the EDF games. They're fun crap though. :mrgreen:

:lol:

They are "high priority" games on my want list. (Although, I will probably end up getting the second and third games in the series for the PS3...)

With regard to this generation's truly terrible games, I already have copy of Duke Nukem Forever, and I will probably pick up copies of Ride to Hell: Retribution and Rogue Warrior at some point. (I am also considering acquiring a copy of Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back.) Are there any other truly terrible seventh-generation games I should look for?

I haven't actually opened my copy yet, but possibly Eat Lead - The Return of Matt Hazard. Onechanbara is hokey silliness.

I haven't played my copies of those games yet either. One day...

I thought Rogue Warrior would be a rouguelike. I was wrong. :cry:

Yes. You are very, very wrong. From what I have read, it is basically a dummy-stabbing simulator.

Quantum Theory

I beat the game through pure will power :lol: . The lack of any form of aim assist makes the game insanely difficult at times. I actually enjoyed the story though :).

If you don't have X-Blades, that game is pretty bad. I pushed through it, but pretty much relied on broken game mechanics to do so. It might be mildly interesting as something that probably just shouldn't have been brought to the U.S. (much less console) marketplace (it was originally a Russian language PC release called Oniblade).

Blades of Time is a kinda-sorta re-imagining by the same developer that still has flaws, but has some enjoyable elements too. If nothing else, throwing in X-Blades before playing that would likely give a real appreciation for how much they improved (did for me when I played them last year).


If you count the Wii, Build n' Race is awful.
