Video reviews of shitty games have been always been great, seeing the reviewer all piss-off because he had to play such a shitty game is funny as hell.

Back when Jeff and the rest of the staff were working for Gamespot, all I mostly did is search for video reviews of games that got like a 1.0 to 4.0, and when I saw the little video icon nexts to the score, it got me so excited. Searching for those video reviews of shitty games was like......digging for gold. Or back when G4 was good, I use to watch that show Judgement Day; and seeing Tommy & Victor piss-off at games like High Heat Baseball or that PC game Torrente or even Backyard Wrestling 2 was just priceless.=)

TBH with you guys, I haven't seen a new good video review of a shitty game in a while, but when I saw that quick look of that DragonBall: Evolution game, it brought me back and it made me smile. Even though that was a quick look, Ryan & Vinny were still kind of "reviewing" that game.

I was also wondering, do you guys have a favorite video review of a shitty game?

You might have already seen this one, but it's a classic so it deserves an embed.

I like watching the videos of AVGN, which almost always ends up being shitty games he "reviews."

Reviews for shitty games are usually funny, so yeah, they're great.

I think my favorite is for The Thing at The Spoony Experiment.

Its a testament to Alex to see that he is so far the only guy posted on here. What a clown. I love how he was aloud to make absolute joke video reviews, when guys like Jeff and Ryan had to be all professional. Looks like Alex is more of an employee of GB then we thought.

I remember hearing that Navarro was the one who got to choose what games people would review. Which just makes it so hilarious.

NOOO!. hahah so he could take this upon himself...awesome. 

I'm sure making videos like this made reviewing a shitty game WAY more fun. Plus, he wouldn't piss other reviewers off. So I bet it was a win win.

I like actually playing shitty games. There's a delightful little number called Target Terror by a company called Raw Thrills who specialized in ripping off Midway games. It's a clone of Area 51 with live-action Anglo-Saxon "terrorists." It really feels like they told the programmers to dress up like bad people and act mean. The acting is horrible and the entire thing is dreadfully cheesy.
Another great bad game is Guitar Freaks, which is basically old Japanese Guitar Hero. The music is dreadfully cheesy and the art is appalling in that special way only anime can be. It actually had some good music, like Misirlou from Pulp Fiction, but most of it is horrible. The guitar is obviously MIDI and most of the background music is too. It's amazing how little TLC that game got before they shoved it out the door. The one at the local arcade is like number 7 or some ludicrously high number like that.

You know, lots of people classify shiity games wrongly.  X-Men the Movie: The Game is not a shitty game.  It's not good, but you'll still arrive some enjoyment out of it probably.  On the other hand, Bomberman, my god, bomberman: act zero is a turd.  I own it.  Payed full price for it too....which was $1.97

It's really your personal perfrence that's telling you that the game is good. For example, GTA IV, a great game but there are some people out there that are not that into it.

Yeah, that Charlie's Angels video review is great. But can anybody post videos from the G4 show Judgement Day?

Text reviews for bad games are also incredibly entertaining.

Haha my vote goes out to AVGN but I like the Alex Navarro vids too. I actually was only a casual reader of Gamespot back in the day so these are new to me.

AVGN was funny to me for the first 5 minutes, after that it got very old, and I typically enjoy that brand humour.

I guess it's cause he doesn't really have good comedic timing. He just gets mad and goes FUCKBALLSCOCKDICK!

Also I remember some absolutely CLASSIC Adam Sessler xplay reviews of bad games. Namely Aquaman.

I only seen one of the AVGN video, the one I saw was about the Power Glove. IDN, maybe I'll check out more of his videos.
