10 Unnecessary Video Games So Bad You Forgot They Existed

10. Death By Degrees

In the lore of Tekken, the Williams sisters (no, not the tennis ones) do have an interesting story. Both assassins, the two have a weird rivalry than spans the series since the later inclusion of Anna. It's all a bit convoluted, but that didn't mean we wanted a separate game over it.

Unfortunately, that's what we got with 2005's Death by Degrees. Namco's attempt to flesh out Nina Williams by dropping a badly handled and stale third person beat/shoot 'em up. Reminiscent of the Tekken Force mini-game from Tekken 3, but with all the fun surgically removed.

Whilst it did have a pretty decent finishing move system; a kind of precursor Sniper Elite's X-ray moves, the rest of the game was terrible. Whilst not as sluggish as The Bouncer, it was on par with Operation Winback as "most likely to win clunkiest game" award levels of bad.

Even worse, Namco decried it as non-canon in the Tekken universe. Makes you wonder what the point was.
