Default Single Worst Game Ever.

Check out this review of a game called Big Rigs. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/driving/b...rr/review.html

It's quite hilariously bad. It's almost as if the developers were intentionally trying to release the worst game in history.

After reading that, go read one of the user reviews posted. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/driving/b...tml?id=1577516

(And yes, that's sarcasm)

I liked the reader review as well, though it wasn't as witty. Little bit overdone, but a nice effort.

Hey, that's little league compared to this review of the Survivor PC game.

Anyone who has a Gamespot Complete membership should check out the video review. The reviewer doesn't even need to speak, it just cuts back and forth between footage of him playing the game, and video capture of the game itself. Hilarity.

This is to say, actually, that none of the game's races have a purpose because there's no competition and no time limit. You win every single time.

Hahahaha.

Maybe it's a game for people with very little self-esteem? Low self-confidence? Mild-to-severe brain injuries?

And wasn't there another game that got a 1 or a zero from Gamespot? I think it had "Dragon" in the title...Oops, on reflection, it was something "Demon"...like "Demonsphere", or "Demonworld", or "DemonOurGameReallyBitesLikeRabidFerrets".

I think the box should contain the quote, '"We LOVED this game!"--the producers of Harvester ...'

Oh man. At first I thought this was a ruse to get us to sign up for Gamespot Complete to view the full movie footage. I now fear, however, that it is real...

The two gameplay movies available on Gamespot Basic (after you sign up) are absolutely hilarious - I especially like Footage 2:

If it was a ruse to make me pay for Gamespot Complete, it nearly worked - nearly. As it is, if I weren't so angelic, I might ask remixor to send it to me.

Incidentally, I bet this will do better commercially than it would have by simply being mediocre. I want to play it too!

...but not that badly.

It's good to see there's a patch out. Now there's a developer that cares about its customers.

And there are some things so bad, they go past good and back to being bad again (to paraphrase a line from Ghost World)

That being said, I'd also like to play this game to see how bad it really is. I've played Superman 64 for the same reason, and that was so bad it almost hurt. Still, I think Bikini Karate Babes has to be the worst game ever.

This is going to be the best selling game of all time. Big Rigs 2: Electric Boogaloo should be coming out in about 3 days. That's probably about how long it'll take to make it.

I can't imagine it would take that long.

I will play the demo first, before coming to such conclusions as single worst game ever. Don't listen to Gamespot. Gamespot is evil. Evil I tell you.

On another note, what's this I hear about people badmouthing BKB ? Can you not comprehend the beauty of that game ? The game transcended multiple frontiers and acheived new heights in game design. These guys should be applauded. As the founder of the BKB mod community and BKB fan club (with over 3 members to date), let me just say that I'm ashamed of you all.
