10 Utter Trash Video Games You Love Anyway

Clunky movement, slow and inaccurate gun-play, a slightly laggy camera; all frustrating elements of both bad video games and, I imagine, piloting a giant mecha. Sure, the ace pilots in the legendary Gundam series make it look easy, with their fancy pseudo-psychic abilities, but what about the regular Joes?

In Federation vs. Zeon, you don't take the role of the main character. You essentially play what would be a faceless NPC in almost any other Gundam game. You'll partake in legendary battles from the series, watching protagonist Amuro Ray zip around in his state of the art RX-78-2 Gundam while you, the anonymous grunt, fight the other anonymous grunts surrounding him.

And, somehow, that's pretty fun! The clunky controls oddly make it feel like you're realistically piloting a ridiculous giant war machine in the shape of a person. And as you complete missions and rise through the ranks, you gain access to a staggering number of mobile suits, each with their own unique stats and abilities.

And you even get to unlock your own Gundam eventually. No, it doesn't make any sense in the continuity, but how lame would it be if you didn't get to use a Gundam in a Gundam game? I mean, come on, man.
