10 Video Games That Were Always Doomed To Fail

6. Shaq Fu

If there's an entire website dedicated to destroying the remaining copies of your game, you know something went wrong in development somewhere. ShaqFu.com has labelled the basketball star's ill-fated title as "the worst fighting game in the history of fighting games." The site offers to "LIBERATE all the copies of Shaq Fu from existence by buying them from anyone who owns the game." So why the hate? Well, Shaq Fu is just really, really bad. It wasn't unfortunate from an ill-timed acquisition, or drastic changes in the market, it's just a good old-fashioned terrible game. Alarm bells probably should've rung in people's ears as soon as the phrase "Shaq Fu" was mentioned. And if not that, then maybe the fact that the game was being developed by Delphine Software International; a team previously known only for its cinematic, arty farty titles, not licensed brawlers. The combination of the bizarre celebrity licensing, bad graphics, worse gameplay, and the availability of far better games on the market has resulted in Shaq Fu being considered one of the worst games ever released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ems4QuGZZ9I
