We all have movies that were so bad that they were actually good but what about games? Surely there are some out there that even though it was terrible you still enjoyed playing since it was so hilariously terrible.

The one that comes to mind for me is an old ass game called Soul Bringer, some of you might use it as a coaster since it came bundled with the much higher quality Planescape: Torment. But despite it being bad it had some things in it that were so ludicrous I finished it several times.

The most prominent thing that was funny was the fact that they implemented severing limbs to show how strong your character was. But this being ye olden days of gaming it wasn't perfect so limbs didn't fly off based on where you hit someone just how hard you hit them. So with high enough strength you could hit a guy in the shin with a blunt staff then his head and fore arms would skyrocket off (literally, I think some of them reached orbit)and blood would spray every where.

Then there was the poorly implemented system of elements, the more you cast spells of a specific element the more attuned you where to it eventually absorbing any damage you would have taken. There was a fire spell called Magma, it created a big ass pool of lava on the ground that damaged anything, including you, that was in it's radius. So with high enough fire attunement you had an absurdly over powered spell that killed anything trying to attack you, and healed you. I always laughed as wave after wave of hell spawned demons tried in fruitless vain to hurt me then have their limbs rocket off because they stood in a pool of fire.

So what're you're "so bad it's good" games?

That seems to fall more into the 'so bad it's bad' category.

I say the Batman Movie (forgot the exact title) with Adam West.

"Quick, Robin! Grab the Anti-Shark Spray!"
Don't forget to bring the Whale repellant, too.

Most fighting games I guess, mainly the Mortal Kombat series.

Fallout... That game was just fail on a worldwide scale.
It was only remotely entertaining if you played co-operative with a friend, but even then I only managed to stomach that crap up til Act III.

Nothing instantly springs to mind, I've managed to make some fairly good choices as far as games go, never had the money to buy any game that looks mildly interesting only to get disappointed.

Haha ahhh I did enjoy the game but with how broken the Seculurum (yeah I read your review) balance was, and the high pressure blood rockets it was just too funny to take seriously

Truth be told, I didn't even know about the high pressure blood until I replayed it a couple months ago. When I was younger, I always turned it off out of principle, so testing out the advice that pickaxes are awesome weapons early on (and the resulting sanguine jets) caught me off-guard. And that wasn't the high point.

"Hmm...hey, I was right, there's brigands mining in this area now! Well, I guess that means I can test out these new spells. Stand still and eat my Spirit Knives, knave! You! Take this Pneumatic Bolt upside the head and begone, you varlet! And you! Boulder. For you. In the h--"

And that's just on the "Blood" setting. I'm not sure I want to test "Gore."
