For The Love Of Bad Video Games

By Alex Chen | January 01, 0001

While others spend their time debating the best games of the year, commenter EcksJay22 finds enjoyment at the bottom of the barrel. Show your love for the worst of the worst in today’s Speak-Up on Kotaku. I have a confession, an addiction of sorts. See, my friends rummy nobel

and I were having a ball last night. We were playing several games, and I’m sure audible laughter could be heard in the hallway. It’s not often you can say that about a game, right?(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() rummy royal

rummy royal those games are terrible, and that’s my point. I, on occasion, enjoy playing bad games. Laughing at the production values, fighting Yono all app broken controls in a competition for supremacy, you name it. Have you ever played a DDR style mini-game that only required you to hit one button? I have. Not only that, but I did so while Mr. X-to-the-Z himself told me how much of a damn pimp I was. Know what else? My friends and I found it hysterical. The same goes for Street Trace’s horrible voice acting, or Cabela’s African Safari’s overt racism and ability to shoot a chimpanzee at point-blank range with a .50 cal. You just have to laugh. So yeah. I’ve played all these games. And, in a way much different from how I might say the same thing about a game like Mass Effect, I enjoyed them. I got an hour or two of fun from laughing at these games, but is that any less valid than any other enjoyment? Am I alone here? Does anyone else have any good memories with shitty games. Screw it, I’m not going to bother defending it. I love my bad games. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go play some Backyard Football on my Xbox… About Speak-Up on Kotaku: Our readers have a lot to say, and sometimes what they have to say has nothing to do with the stories we run. That’s why we have that little forum on Kotaku called Speak-Up. That’s the place to post anecdotes, photos, game tips and hints, and anything you want to share with Kotaku at large. Every weekday we’ll pull one of the best Speak-Up posts we can find and highlight it here.

I wish there were more free spins available, but even with the current promotions, I have a lot of fun. The themed slot games are creative and engaging, keeping the gameplay fresh and entertaining every day.
