We all have that one game. Despite the appalling reviews, constant criticism attached to it and stigma people give it; you enjoy this game.

Maybe it's the gameplay. Maybe it's the story. Regardless, you just can't completely understand why it is so hated.

Mine would have to be Final Fantasy 7: Dirge of Cerberus. Despite the fact I look down at 95% of the series, I can't help but in some way have a secret passion for DoC.

Why? I suppose it's 30% the story, 40% the atmosphere, 15% the gameplay and another 15% due to the fact that for once in its existence, Square Enix attempted to (LE GASP!) try something different.

So Escapist, what shit videogames do you love?

Final Fantasy X-2. Even with the terrible convoluted storyline, I really enjoyed it. It was all fun and bubbly, and the dress-sphere system was cool.

I see where you're coming from... Final Fantasy tends to take itself waaay to seriously for just a typical JRPG. At least X-2 shoved aside all the cliched emo drivel which tends to be the story/characters of most of the games.

Flower, Sun and Rain. Confusing story, Simplistic puzzle elements, but i'm a sucker for anything by Suda51.

Well everyone seems to hate Two Worlds, I thought it was a solid RPG.

Everyone seems to hate Alpha Protocol, one of the most fun games I've played in a while.

And I'll agree with the above poster about FFX2, that was pretty good.

It had it's flaws but I found it very enjoyable as well

Disaster:Day of Crisis on Wii.It had everything to make you want to hate it - Poor graphics(tbf this doesn't bother me but I can see why it would bother some people),terrible voice acting,ridiculous story,plenty of QTE's,a weird mix of gameplay styles(3rd person exploration,Time Crisis style shooty bits,driving levels and the aforementioned QTE's)and occasionally shonky motion controls...and yet I enjoyed every minute of it

Earth Defense Force 2017 for the 360 is a guilty pleasure game for me. It's definately a budget title but I feel that that is just a part of its charm.

I can't say I love Alpha Protocol, as I get annoyed with it if I play it for more than an hour and a half, but it's much more enjoyable than what I expected.

Judge Dredd: Dredd vs Death. Awful story, awful graphics, awful voice acting and awful script. But so damn awesome.

Quake 4 for the 360, Its what I wanted Doom 3 to be for the original Xbox. I think Prey dosen't get the praise it deserves, I mean the wrench was so already taken by Opposing Forces in halflife but it mastered the idea of portals and the use of gravity WAY before Portal.

I don't know if this counts as I haven't read any reviews on it but I'm a sucker for Tony Hawk's Project 8. Well, Tony Hawks games in general.

No offense, but I don't seem to find Popcap games to be that flash...

yet I can't stop playing them.
But if Popcap was flash it couldn't make the odles of money that it currently is worth.

OT: S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat, it is buggy and weird but I love that game.

I will forever love Home Alone on the Megadrive. I got it with the console, alongside Sonic 2, Mega Games 2 and Robocod. For a while I loved it even more than those gems. I still love it now, thoughb it is undeniably shit.
