Now you listen and you listen good. I've waited 28 days for this so you damn well better write up the final game.

Well, only because you asked so nicely.
28. Journey
Anyone here or on planet Earth surprised? I didn't think so. I hate Journey. I really do. I refuse to even post an image of the game. Journey is not a game, and the fact that it was passed off as one infuriates me. And to make matters worse, it's a critically acclaimed game. Was 2012 that shitty of a year that we actually thought Journey was good? For fuck's sake, it was just walking around with or without a stranger by your side. I could go down to my local park and do the same thing, and possibly have a conversation in the process. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled wasn't convincing the world he didn't exist. It was making this game.
Thank you gentlemen. I've gone back and added the full list to the first entry. You know, so that when years from now people need to study and analyze this blog, the list will be all on one page.
Is it a piece of shit?
Yes, but I still played it as a kid, while listening to their music on my Walkman.
It looks like it may also require a level of skill unnecessary for Journey.

This is the very definition of "self indulgent piece of shit." The trailers for this looked so cool. It make Kinect look like it was actually worth owning. It was all lies however. This is just an average schmup disguised by amazing graphics. Hell, average is really being generous. This game was just bad. Bad and boring. Really it's amazing how something so pretty can still be so incredible dull. I remember finding this at Target for $12, and I was sure it was a pricing mistake. "Child of Eden?? This cheap?? How is that possible??" Then I played it and I understood. Well, let me correct myself. I understood why it was so cheap. I still don't understand the story. It had something to with someone being born in space and being attacked by viruses... I think. Fuck it, I'm not spending anymore time thinking about it. It was bad. End of story.
Try playing it without the Move controller. It goes from "sucks" to "rage inducing".
27. Captain Comic (NES)
Captain Comic was an unlicensed game for the NES. At the time though I didn't know that. Hell, I didn't even know what that meant. All I knew is that when I saw this game for rent at Blockbuster Video, I had to try it out. Why do you ask? Because of this:
Because it didn't have the Nintendo Seal of Approval, it wasn't shipped in the standard gray case. Instead it was this curvy baby blue case. To me, that just meant the game was special. Turns out it was more short-bus special than anything else. The game was unplayable. The only thing I could figure out how to do was jump around and die. I curse myself for spending the $3 to rent this, and I wish horrible things on the makers of it (Christian game developer Color Dreams) for making it so appealing looking.
