10 Festive Video Games To Play During Christmas 2018

2005’s Elf Bowling 1 & 2 holds the esteemed accolade of being one of the worst-reviewed Gameboy Advance games of all time. For a system which suffered from such atrocities as the Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis port and a host of awful licensed games featuring such forgettable properties as Zoey 101 and That’s So Raven, that’s really saying something.

The low scores shouldn’t deter anyone from picking up this game, of course. In 2018, it’s still a humorous time-killer, and the second game (which is actually shuffleboard, not bowling) is honestly a decent time.

Unfortunately, thanks to the games’ relative infamy, it can be pretty tough to come by in physical form. Collectors may have no problem shelling out upwards of $30 for the cartridge, but the more sane amongst us may want to fire up a GBA emulator if all they want to do is waste five minutes.

Elf Bowling was a pretty prominent web browser game back in the day, and links to it can still be found in many an ancient Facebook post or email. Those who go into this one with low expectations will be rewarded.
