10 TERRIBLE Video Games (You Should Play Anyway)

The guys down at Pepsi Headquarters back in 1999 must’ve had a very wonderful, idealised view of things. With their mascot, superhero Pepsiman, all crises can be averted!

Crises like stopping a riot breaking out because of angry consumers upset about a late Pepsi delivery, even though, come to think of it, Pepsiman’s gameplay shows cans of the drink just laying around all over the roads in various real life cities. That seems like an accident waiting to happen.

Pepsiman is a cheap licensed product designed more to sell you fizzy drinks than to blow you away with its deep gameplay. As such don’t expect more than alternating level to level between running away and towards the camera and trying your hardest to avoid obstacles that come out of absolutely nowhere.

Also, don’t think too hard about the fact that the citizens of this world have built an entire city called Pepsicity as a shrine to their beloved soft drink.

The gameplay may be boring but it's all so ridiculous that it's pretty hard to hate. It's debatable whether Pepsiman’s live action cutscenes and strange portrayal of American culture is meant to be funny but there’s definitely laughs to be had at the lunacy of it all.
