Portal.

List fails, because author doesn't realize that Desert Bus is supposed to be boring. That's the entire point of the game. It's entertaining because it's boring, whereas the other games presumably made a marginal effort to be legitimately interesting.

What Mass Effect did not make this list?

Mass Effect starts out okay, but driving that dam rover around what seems like endless planets in that tiny rectangle, not to mention the same dam go somewhere and shoot something missions with slightly different trappings gets tedious quickly.

Smarshmallow: Portal.

Internet Troll Simulator 2008.

Yep, another failed list.

So... the bible is a game? That explains a lot.

Where does Oblivion place on the list?

Is that a dinosaur?

You, sir, earn ZERO Reeses Pieces.

Funny thing is I bet people will try to label you a troll for this.

I understand people like those games, but each time I made an honest effort to enjoy an Elder Scrolls game it's just been an exercise in tedium.

"Alright, I have to make my way to cave 5,322. I've memorized the layout because it's the exact same as caves 1 - 5,321. But first I have to fight off an entire species of cliff riders."

I want that road rash game. I want it now.

This. I saw this footage some time ago, and every time I see it, my heart frowns a bit.

Road Rash 64 was fun, but a modern release with updated graphics and online play would be a day one purchase for me.

I am somewhat trolling for a response but the sentiment is genuine. The Skyrim hype is beyond me but I'm clearly not its target audience.

I see you have it covered.

Also, Desert Bus being as low as #7 adds to the lists failure.

No L.A. Snore? That "game" was the most boring piece of crap I have ever played.

You're lying, and I have the evidence to prove it!

That Dirty Harry trailer is awesome. We should have had that game instead of L.A. Noir

List fails without Red Dead Redemption.

List fails without the entire Assasin's Creed series.

How do you win?

I remember Peter shiaton's Handball Maradona. I suppose it wasn't too bad for a a games based entirely on a joke, but it certainly wasn't good in light of the many actual football games available at the time. The entire game is choosing to leap left or right.

What is quite glaringly missing is Firebird's collection given the entirely honest name "Don't Buy This." (new window)

Oh yes, and how could I forget Cascade's notorious Cassette 50? Ten quid bought you a digital watch and a tape with fifty of the very worst games imaginable, all written in BASIC by complete amateurs and very few with any sort of recognisable point. It truly was the original shovelware.

I hate to be THAT guy. But two problems.

1. They're called Cliff Racers
2. They aren't IN Oblivion. They're in Morrowind.

/I need to touch some boobs and go outside now.

And Now I see you went generic with "Elder Scroll Games" so I take 2. back. NM

Seems you really do hate to be that guy.

Rev.K: Proudly billed as 'the very first truck simulation game set in Europe', it's simply unfathomable to us why no-one had made this game before now. Euro Truck Simulator is, quite frankly is a thrill-a-minute game of intrigue and adventure, picking up cargo, driving within the speed limit, checking your mirrors regularly, and - if you're really lucky and progress far enough to transport hazardous material - performing a full cab inspection.

I'm not going to lie. I want to try that game.

If there's fiery crashes involved, I'm going to lock down all weekend.

What you need to do is play it while Motorhead's "We Are The Road Crew" blares at full volume in a continuous loop.

The only winning move is not to play.

No worries. I knew I was blurring the lines in the games. Morrowind was what immediately came to mind, but I had similar issues with Oblivion.

stevetherobot: shpritz: So... the bible is a game? That explains a lot.

How do you win?

A strange game. The only winning move is not to pray.

In the end, the game wins. See Revelations 9:13-14

The mods for Oblivion are the shiat. Midas Magic Mod is fantastic... hope he works on Skyrim. Playing that mod, the girl stepped into the room just as I happened upon the Stargate the creator added to the game.

The game at its core is good, but the DLC (Shimmering Isles being a great one) and the mods or it make it awesome. As for Skyrim, I'm probably going to wait until fall next year to pick it up on Steam for 75% off with DLC included.

RoxtarRyan: Playing that mod, the girl stepped into the room just as I happened upon the Stargate the creator added to the game.

Continuing with that thought, she lost her shiat, saying "WTF? Someone added a stargate to that game?"

Should really finish thoughts before starting new ones, but I haven't had that much coffee yet.

Myst is certainly a contender. Here's a more recent one.



Suikoden 4

You spend half the game sailing between a bunch of remote islands. There's no quick travel until later, and only after you've been there once. So imagine a world map with random battles, except the scenery never changes... and you're traveling at the speed of ocean.

This was the kiss of death for the series, and I hates it so much for that.

just kidding
//or am I???

Add some 11foot8 / 2m40 can openers for additional lulz.
