10 Video Games We All Used To Love (That Actually Totally Suck)

6. Super Mario 64

SuperMario64 cameraLoved on: Nintendo 64 - 1996 Choking on your dinner now, aren't you? How can a game held in such high regard ever be considered naff? A game where beautiful, 3D environments and unprecedented gameplay changed the expectations of gamers forever. A game that pushed more boundaries than Brazilian pornography. A game with Mario in it. Sucks because: It's a game with Mario in it, ironically. Don't get me wrong, I love many of the plump plumbers adventures, but this one had to be called good simply because of the sum of its parts. Actually the levels were quite appalling, the music was massively irritating, the camera was arm-bitingly frustrating and it generally wasn't up to the standard of the previous titles. And if it was really that good, why have Nintendo murped along for 17 years without giving it a sequel?
